Puzzle game: Update to Amijeweled 1.4, available on Amistore
In 2007 the Bejeweled clone Amijeweled has been released. Recently an update to version 1.4 has been delivered via eMail to registered users. As of now Amijeweled is available again. It can be purchased on Amistore (currently only available for AmigaOS 4) for about 5 Euro.
Users who still have been not registered or whose contact details have changed, they are invited to contact the author Wolfgang Hosemann. Each purchaser of Amijeweled (CD or download version) is allowed to update to the latest version, which completes the game by a new method of dragging the jewels.

Database: MUIbase 3.2 (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS)
Steffen Gutmann has released an update of his programmable database MUIbase. Changes in version 3.2:
- When a project has been changed, a '*' used to be prepended to the window title. This has been replaced by prepending the text 'Changed' instead. In addition, if a project has been locked by another MUIbase instance, the window title is now prepended with 'Locked'. Finally, if there is a newer version of the project on disk, the window title is prepended with 'Old'.
- Amiga: allow quick search in select-from-where lists similar to how this works in GTK.
- The programing functions MIN and MAX are now defined over arbitrary data types not just integers and reals numbers.
- The generation of the user manual has seen an overhaul and unused document formats such as PS and DVI have been removed.
- Linux: only non-deprecated functions of GTK3 are used now and the color and font choosers have been updated accordingly.
- Several bug fixes.

Firefox port: Source code of Timberwolf released
In July 2012, the bonus of 6700 Euro for a port of Firefox for AmigaOS 4 was paid out to the Frieden brothers, although "Release Candidate 1" of their port of Firefox 4.0 named "Timberwolf" did not run smoothly. Two other updates have been provided, then the project seemed to have been put on hold.
According to a comment of Thomas Frieden on amigans.net, both software programmers decided to releases the complete source code of the project on Github. Although the files sporadicly include copyright notices, which expressly prohibit the transfer of the source code, according to Frieden the complete source code is under the Mozilla Public License. If you change it, you are asked to add it to the original Github archive. Please contact Thomas Frieden.

New A1200 cases: Funding completed
Via Kickstarter.com, Philippe Lang has established a project for producing an improved replacement case for the Amiga 1200 (amiga-news.de reported). This case also can take in other boards like the Amiga Reloaded, MiST or Raspberry Pi and has pre-cut sections for extensions.
Four days before the deadline, sufficient money has been sought to finance the production of the cases. By currently 127.955 Euro also the next target could be achieved: If 130.000 Euro would be paid, the 3D-model-files will be made available to the public.
