Print magazine: Amiga Future, issue 140
The English and German editions of Amiga Future 140 (September/October 2019) have been released today and can be ordered from the magazine staff or various Amiga dealers. The publisher has pointed out that recently the magazine was selling very well. Therefore it was sold out before the publication date. Until an increase of the edition will be realized it is highly recommended to order in advance at an early stage or to acquire a subscription.
This issue's topics include reviews to the AmigaOS 3.1.4-Update and "Skill Grid" as well as a special about "XCopy".

Audio player: AmigaAMP3 3.25 (update)
Thomas Wenzel wrote: This version mainly provides bug fixes and stability improvements. As new feature the AmigaOS-4 version now also supports the mpega.library for decoding MP2/MP3.
As user you can now choose between the traditional AMP (giving the name to the application) and MPEG-A. MPEG-A is available as highly optimized fixed point version which, in particular, requires few computing time under QEMU-based emulations (WinUAE).
Update: (27.08.2019, 06:15, dr)
Upon request of amiga-news.de Thomas Wenzel confirmed the experiences of a reader that AmigaAMP 3.25 cannot read WAV/AIFF files. This support was skipped by introducing version 3 of the 68k version. Thomas Wenzel cannot remember the exact reason for it but will examine it. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Power architecture: ISA released as open source, softcore introduced
According to the OpenPOWER Foundation under the title link, the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of the IBM POWER processors have been released as open source. Hugh Blemings, Executive Director of the OpenPOWER Foundation, furthermore wrote: "In addition to open sourcing the POWER ISA, IBM is also contributing a newly developed softcore to the community. In a very short time, an IBM engineer was able to develop a softcore on the POWER ISA, and get it up and running on a Xilinx FPGA. This softcore implementation is being demonstrated this week at OpenPOWER Summit North America."

Event: Dickinson and Tyschtschenko at Amiga Future Gamescom booth
Press release: Amiga Future: Again at Gamescom - Also this year the Amiga Future will be represented with APC&TCP at Gamescom in the retro area.
Visitors can get detailed information about the Amiga computer system at the almost 90 m² booth and, of course, also test more than 20 devices on site. The Amiga Future team will surely be able to answer all your questions about Amiga.
As guests of honor we have Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology on tuesday and wednesday and Petro Tyschtschenko (formerly Amiga Technologies) on saturday at the stand.
In addition, the Apollo team shows the brand new Vampire 4. You can test the Vampire 4 in detail and the developers are also available for questions.
But we also have two IndieGO systems on our stand, which of course can be thoroughly tested.
Of course, Pascal Papara is also there, ready to answer all your questions.
Since we can not (yet) be in two places at the same time, no orders will be sent from August 17 to 27 by our online shop.
This also applies to download versions. E-mails can only be answered after Gamescom. We ask for patience.
It may take some time before all orders and e-mails can be processed. (snx)

Hollywood: Polybios 1.2 released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present Polybios 1.2. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. Version 1.2 is a minor update and contains some fixes and minor improvements.
The plugin is now available for download from the official Hollywood portal under the title link. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64) and Android (arm, arm64) are provided.
WinUAE users please note that you need at least version 4.2.1 because previous versions have a bug in the emulation of Motorola's 68020 CPU which makes Polybios crash.
