Hollywood-Plugins for Android available
Since July the development environment Hollywood also supports Google's Handheld operating system Android. Meanwhile most of the Hollywood-Plugins also are available under Android.
The plugins are available in two different versions: The so called "armeabi"-Build works with floating-point numbers in a software library similar to AmigaOS' math*-libraries. The "armeabi-v7a"-versions use the faster floating-point hardware of modern processors which all newer Android-devices contain - in case of doubt have a look at the manual of the device if it supports hardware floating-point calculations.
The plugins have to be copied to the directory "Hollywood/_Plugins" on the SD-card of the Android-device. You can get more information in the Android Release Notes.

Event: Saku 2012 in Oulu (Finland)
Official press release:
OULU, FINLAND - September 22nd, 2012 - Finnish Amiga Users Group holds its 5th Saku event in Oulu, Finland on Saturday, September 29th. The event is free for anyone interested in the wide range of current Amiga compatible systems. Admittance is free of charge and refreshments will be available. Saku 2012 will start at 13:00 on September 29th at Oulun Tetra ground floor conference room at Mäkelininkatu 31.
There will be several classic and new generation Amiga compatible systems available for testing. Classic AmigaOS is running on several A1200 models and on an A4000/060 with three (you read it right, 3!) Picasso IV graphic cards. A SAM440ep system will be running the new AmigaOS 4, and the latest MorphOS 3 will be demonstrated both on a G4 Mac mini and a G4 Powerbook. AROS is running on a PC, and Minimig will also be available for testing.
Gaming is available on several classic Amiga systems. Linked games are played via two A1200/030 computers. The legendary A500 is also involved. A1200 expansions like the BlizzardPPC, BVision and Indivision AGA MK2 are among the hardware displayed, not forgetting the up to 16GB CF drives.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Commodore 64 we have a fully packed C64 with an LCD display and a keyboard, double SID chips, the MSSIAH MIDI expansion and a Turbo Chameleon multipurpose expansion cartridge. There will also be gaming competitions arranged on the C64.
Visitors can take part in several game competitions and a Hello World programming competition. Latest Amiga magazines are available for reading and visitors can also bring their used items for sale. Finnish Amiga retailer Gentle Eye will be present, and Effi ry is sponsoring the refreshments and also selling their support products. The user group has their promotional T-shirts for sale as well.
Please visit the users group's website at http://saku.amigafin.org or Finnish discussion forum at http://foorumi.amigafin.org for the latest details and Finnish Internet coverage of the event. Address search and maps for the city of Oulu are available at http://kartta.ouka.fi and http://maps.google.fi. E-mail inquiries may be sent to the user group's email address (suomenamigakayttajat@gmail.com).
The user group has organized annual meetings since 1995. This is officially the fifth Saku event, the first since Saku 2001, which gathered about 300 visitors around Finland. It is also the 34th event organized by the user group and the 42nd event the user group participates in. Come join us in making Finnish Amiga history!
Welcome!

Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.7 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is a graphical user-interace with 128 colours which replaces the Workbench for starting WHDLoad-games (.slave, .exe).
According to the developer the programm works with all Amigas (OCS, AGA) equipped with 68000 to 68060 processor and requires few virtual memory.
Changes:
- Start faster than with the previous release
- Added a roto-starfield effect in the background of the main menu
- Now autoscan your keymap type (QWERTY, QWERTZ or AZERTY) and correctly assign the keys to the FastJump feature
- You can now disable the unused listing with the setup
- Added a rainbow effect to the title name of the displayed list in the launcher
- Launcher reactivity optimisation
- CLI fixed in many cases but maybe still buggy in some cases...
- Now the name of a listing can be up to 8 character long (5 previously)
- Now in the setup save the name of the listings if you change it either if you don't have updated any list
- Fixed many ugly visual bugs when opening/closing the display
- Fixed a redisplay bug in the Menuscreen and the launcher screen

Amiga Inc.: Amiga classics for the Blackberry Playbook tablet
A few years ago, Amiga Inc. used to sell classic Amiga games for Windows by bundling them with a modified WinUAE build. A similar approach is now apparently used with an offering available through the Blackberry's official app store for the Playbook tablet: In addition to various titles from Team 17 the publisher "Amiga, Inc." is also offering the Turrican series aswell as Xenon and Xenon 2.

Carl Sassenrath on the future of REBOL
In a blog entry Carl Sassenrath - who also is the author of "Exec" - has announced that he will probably finish the development of his programming language REBOL.
Originally the language has been a commercial product. But the "old model of how proprietary software products make money has been turned inside-out." He also said that "I also need to tell you that I don't have much time to help out with whatever the REBOL future may be. I can help a little from time to time, but generally I'm very busy these days."
Sassenrath has invited all users to post comments on how the future of REBOL is supposed to look like.

Jump and Run: Sqrxz for OCS-Amigas
Within three months Frank "phx" Wille in cooperation with developer team "Retroguru" have ported the Jump'n Run Sqrxz to the Amiga. Just like the original this version has 16 levels and 18 chiptunes. The game runs on each Amiga with at least Kickstart 1.2 and 512 KB Fast RAM and Chip RAM.
The port has been already finished three weeks ago but not published because it should take part in the Demodays 2012 for the "Interactive" competition.
At first the game was sold as limited edition on disks - for a fee of 2 Euro. Soon there will be a version which can be installed on harddrive as well as an ADF-diskimage.

Janus - Javascript-based Amiga emulator
Rupert Hausberger's Janus is an Amiga emulator written in Javascript which should work in each modern web-browser. The source code has about 13000 lines of code. Half of it was taken from UAE. A fast computer, ADF or Kickstart files, a browser wit HTML 5 support, WebGL, WebAudio, DOMParser, FileReader and Typed arrays are required.
The Readme currently warns of diverse existing compatibility problems but some games already work - e.g. Alien Breed, Another World or Turrican 1/2.
According to the author he will not have time during the next months to develop the project further. Therefore he decided to publish this early version in order to looking for and win other supporters.

MorphOS: Software-Synthesizer U1Synth 1.1a
U1Synth is a "simple audio synthesizer and a "sideefect" of MorphOS.pl bounty for adding media encoding API to Reggae library. Its synthesis engine is rather simple, it just shapes a sine wave with adjustable ADSR envelope. The main purpose of U1Synth is to serve as example of using Reggae encoders API, writing Reggae custom classes and just an example of good MUI programming style. For this reason the program is released with source code on BSD license."
