Press release: The MorphOS Team is proud to announce the immediate availability of the MorphOS 3.16 SDK, February 2021 release. This update includes a greatly enhanced GDB, with TUI, syntax highlighting and shared library debugging. Two new profiling utilities were added. EventProfiler may be used to instrument a applications and generate Chrome Debugger files that may be loaded into Wayfarer for analysis. Koprofiler is a sampling profile that can be used to record a selected thread. Several GG packages were also updated, including git, wget, nano and perl. Updated OpenSSH now comes with ssh-agent.
Our new SDK requires MorphOS 3.15 and about 2 GB of free disk space and can be found in our files section. As usual, a separate source package is available for download as well. (snx)

VirusZ III: Bootblock file updated
In December the Virus Help Team reported a new bootblock virus (amiga-news.de reported). A week ago a new bootblock file was released to use with VirusZ III v1.02. The team wrote: "Some of the bootblock viruses we have added to the VirusZ_III.Bootblocks, will make checksum changes with each mutation, that means that every time the virus infects, it change code. So there is absolutely no guarantee that the new viruses, we have added it will be reported as a the virus, because the virus could have mutated and changed it's code. But we will add as many mutations as we possible can."
The team also explained under the title link: "VirusZ is still the classic antivirus software for Amiga computers. Virus Help Team have made this VirusZ_III.bootblocks file, because there is nothing else we can do, no one from Virus Help Team knows anything about programming and can't make an antivirus program and Virus Help Team does not have the scource code for the xvs.library by Georg Hörmann. So that is why we think this is better than nothing, at least now VirusZ III can find bootvirus unknown to xvs.library."

Arcade classic: Amiga Space Invaders, beta 3
"Space Invaders" (video) written in Blitz Basic is supposed to be quite an authentic port of the arcade classic with the same name released in 1978. The new beta version fixes minor bugs. Additionally, the game now also runs on an A500 with full speed. A new background picture was added as well: By pressing the 'B' key you can change the background picture, the '1' and '2' keys change the colour of the overlay.

- CPU: Motorola 68020 with 14 Mhz
- OCS-/ECS compatible, up to 2 MB Chip-Ram (Paula, Agnus, Denise not included)
- 64 Megabyte RAM
- IDE-Controller(44pin)
- Support of two different Kickstart-ROMs. Compatible to OS 3.1.4
