Hyperion Entertainment: AmigaOS 3.1.4 released
As reported, Thomas 'Thor' Richter and Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel have been working on an update of Commodore's AmigaOS 3.1. Today it has been released - please find below Hyperion Entertainment's official press release:
Brussels, October 30, 2018 - Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is highly pleased to announce the release of AmigaOS 3.1.4 as the biggest upgrade since the days of AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9.
The new, cleaned-up, polished Amiga operating system for your 68K machine fixes all the small annoyances that have piled up over the years. Originally intended as a bug-fix release, it also modernizes many system components previously upgraded in OS 3.9.
Contrary to its modest revision number, 3.1.4 is arguably as large an upgrade as OS 3.9 was, and surpasses it in stability and robustness. Over 320K of release notes cover almost every aspect of your favourite classic AmigaOS - from bootmenu to datatypes.
AmigaOS 3.1.4 is available as immediate purchase from our direct download section [at the title link] as digital download and will be available shortly as physical set of 3,5" floppy diskettes and machine specific ROM(s).
Hyperion Entertainment CVBA wants to use this opportunity also to thank the great team of developers, testers, translators and other helpers for all their hard work during the recent months. Without them this release would not have been possible. (snx)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.8 (SDL version)
About two weeks ago Artur Jarosik as released an update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port is based on SDL, only the preferences pane is based on MUI, and is not to be confused with the Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version.
Notice of the editorial: The AGA version 3.8 does not run on the Amiga 1200 equippd with Blizzard-1230 accelerator board of our editor Daniel Reimann - it crashes with Guru-Meditation (80000008). According to the developer the M68060-compiler-switch he did use is not compatible with a 68030 processor with 68881-FPU. Besides, the auto update for the AGA version is broken and therefore has to be downloaded from the title link.

Chip-RAM extension: ACE2 by Individual Computers
For a few weeks Individual Computers has been offering "ACE2". This extension adds two Megabyte Chip-Ram to most of the OCS/ECS-Amiga. Because the board contains two components which are not available any more - the 2MB ECS-Agnus-Chip and a PLCC84 adapter socket - the producer has chosen a "progressive pricing model": The lower the availability of ACE2 the more the price increases. The first price was 120 Euro meanwhile it costs about 130 Euro. The maximum price will be 170 Euro.
Hint of the editorial stuff: On the ACE2 a NTSC version of Agnus is used. This one can be switched between the PAL and NTSC mode but always starts in NTSC mode. Therefore this extension was mainly made for users with upgraded Amigas - while booting from disk under Kickstart 1.3 you cannot change the mode so easily.

Connecting old joysticks to the PC: Arananet Joystick adapter
The Spanish shop Arananet offers an adapter which connects a retro joystick to an USB port of a common PC. No additional drivers are needed because the adapter registers to the host PC as simple USB device. Autofire is supported (if your joysticks allow it). A Spanish review of the adapter you can find on "Commodore Spain".
