AmigaOS 4: X11-environment AmiCygnix 1.2
Edgar Schwan has published an update of his X11-environment AmiCygnix. Both basic packages "AmiCygnix-Base" and "AmiCygnix-Tools" were updated to version 1.2.
Generally it is a bugfix release.
Changes in the reworked packages:
- The system does not freeze any longer when quitting the X-Server. No crashes when quitting the clients
- The computer could freeze if in a file-requester the existing assigns were listed. This bug was fixed
- The preference tools "myX11Setup" and "myX11SetupLight" were reworked and a Hispanic catalogue added
- The printing tool "lpr" did not open a status window in AmiCygnix version 1.1. Fixed. Additionally it is now possible to abort a printing process
- The content of an USB mass storage could not be listed in a file-requester. Fixed
- The web-browser NetSurf could not load local files - fixed

AROS: 68k-Distribution AROS Vision 1.5.5
Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k-distribution. It is a mix of AROS and AmigaOS software (English tutorial). Version 1.5.5 includes now the full versions of Real3D and SoundFX. Amigaguide documents can be opened without crashing the system. And there are two different versions of AROS Vision:
Additional to the standard distribution now a "Classic"-version is available as well. The author calls this a "Light"-version because most of the applications and CLI-extensions were removed.
Both versions can be installed with a certain "Workbench environment":
- Wanderer as filemanager, Zune as GUI-Toolkit (preferences)
- Scalos and Zune
- Scalos and MUI
You can get further information e.g. about how a a working ARexx-host can be added to the distribution on the website of the author.
Additionally some Youtube videos have been published which show the news, Scalos and Zune, Scalos and MUI and several applications.

Workbench-replacement: X-bEnCH 0.74 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is an Amiga game launcher with 128 colors on screen (even on the developer's 7 MHz Amiga 2000B). This frontend autoscans the harddisk to find WHDLoad games or .exe files and and organizes them into launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.
Changes:
- Fixed the OCS/ECS blue bug color in the init screen
- Start a bit faster
- New display refresh method for the launcher now as fast as light on a simple 68000/7
- Mouse pointer is now blanked
- Fixed the slow display of the Starfield menu on 68000/68010
- Now correctly switch off the display on the menu screen when needed
- Minors bugs fixeds

MorphOS: Donation for G5-port achieved
With the donated amount of currently 3186,77 Euro the condition of three thousand Euro for the port of MorphOS to PowerMac computers with G5-processor was achieved (amiga-news.de reported).
