AmiUpdate is a simple archive manager similar to tools like RPM or dpkg from the Linux world. Changes in version 1.120:
- Rejigged the information window to allow for much longer extended descriptions
- Database entries without a full path are now searched for using APPDIR: in addition to the system path
- Removed the keyboard shortcuts from the reboot requester to save any unwanted activation
- The reboot countdown requester now shows the time in seconds until the system goes down, plus offers a "Cancel"
button so that the reboot can be cancelled
- Added the ROLLBACKDIR tooltype to allow using a different path for Rollback data

MorphOS: Blender 2.50 Alpha 0
Guillaume 'Yomgui' Roguez ha published an update of his MorphOS-port of Blender. On the official website you can find detailed information about the changes.
The author gave some hints for the MorphOS-version:
- You do not need to install it. Simply extract the archive and use Blender.
- Lauffähigkeit auf dem Efika wird nicht garantiert
- If you want to configure the size of the start window, then launch Blender from the Shell with the paramter "-p", followed by the figures of x and y position as well as of the width and highness of the window. The figures must be seperated by four blanks.
- Blender must be copied to the harddrive. Starting from the RAM-Disk is not supported
- On his website the author has published all known bugs. Please do not post them again
- FFMPEG-support works but is not optimized for Altivec
- Thumbnails created by integrated file-browser are saved in PROGDIR:.thumbnails/

Update of Amiga Games List
David Brunet has updated his database of Amiga games and presents issue 39 of the "Amiga Games List" which now has 11192 entries in the following categories:
- 10143 games
- 887 data-disks and extensions
- 127 game or level editors
- 35 interpreters
In order to focus on the "proper" Amiga games this last issue no longer includes several games which does not depend on platforms and which can be only played with interpreter. Additionally the releases of the year 2009 were added and the database does now know the licence type "Creative Commons" and the programming language AmiBlitz.

Hint: Brightening yellowed computer towers with Retr0bright
Christian Busse pointed out to a method how you can brighten yellowed computer towers. He wrote:
A Group of Amiga computer enthusiasts think they have come up with an idea to stop ancient computers going yellow. Flame retardant plastics in computers meant that the likes of an Amiga turned yellow with age.
While it has been known that Hydrogen Peroxide could stop the rot, it was not very effective. A bloke called Dave from Manchester, UK, aka 'Merlin', started a project to see if they could turn their old hardware into its old colour.
Apparently a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, a small amount of an "Oxy" laundry booster as a catalyst and a UV lamp will turn a yellow computer back to its normal condition in a few hours.
There is a thread on this mixture called Retr0bright on amibay.com.
