AmigaOS 4: Guide for new A1222 users
In the course of the press release about the start of production of the A1222+ motherboards (amiga-news.de reported), A-EON also gave Eldee Stephens permission to make his guide for potential A1222 users public.
As he tells us, a lot of work went into the creation of this guide. Stephens has been a tester of the A1222 since the beginning and has regularly tested it with dozens of apps and games since 2015 to find out what works and what doesn't, what needs to be adjusted, etc. The compatibility lists for applications or games in this guide are the result of extensive testing.
In addition, he has done extensive benchmarking tests with file systems and various HW components over time. The guide is a simple HTML-based collection of pages that guides new and potential users through the A1222 experience - from setting up the system to finding tools and games that work well. He further explains, "Hopefully it will help people avoid pitfalls and determine if the A1222 is a good machine for them or not. I wanted to level-set expectations so people know the reality of the system."
Asked if he had come across anything remarkable in his numerous tests, Stephens said: "The only surprising thing to me was just how fast SPE-native software was. Games built to support the P1022 absolutely blow away the SAM460, although there are very few of them at the moment."
Due to software changes, the guide is constantly being updated, but is mostly complete. (dr)

Blog "Vintage is The New Old" is discontinued
The blog "Vintage is the New Old" (ViTNO) - formerly known as "CommodoreBlog" and then as "Commodore is Awesome" - will stop all activities at the end of the month. The blog used to report on all facets of retro computing. The operator Paulo justifies his step with the fact that despite the numerous readers, the engagement and feedback on articles and actions is close to zero. In contrast, news published on ViTNO is very often used and commented on in other media (podcasts, websites, etc.) without the site being named as a source.
Another reason for discontinuing the blog was his perception that websites with in-depth articles were generally losing space and importance at the expense of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok, etc. with quick-to-consume posts. In his opinion, most people no longer seemed to have the patience to read longer posts and stories that wanted to be written on.
He said he will continue to be involved, not give up his hobby. After the closure, ViTNO will be found in the Internet Archive. (dr)

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 6.0
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 6.0 of his web browser Wayfarer for MorphOS. As the developer wrote, the WebKit core has again been rebased to the latest stable WebKitGTK tree. But that's not all, 6.0 also brings many UI improvements like Bookmark filtering, improved password management, Youtube playback fixes, additional Altivec acceleration and more.
To update from 5.5 simply use the Check for Updates menu function. Wayfarer will then download the new build and auto-update on quit. To update from an older version, manually extract all files from wayfarer.lha into your existing installation.
Changes:
- Rebased to WebKitGTK 2.40.2
- Implemented Bookmarks filtering
- Password manager now stores port numbers too, making it possible to have multiple services requiring login handled on the same domain (as a side effect, all old passwords have been promoted to port 443/https)
- Added a popup if audio initialization has failed
- Added a way to manually add passwords in the Password Settings
- Youtube MSE playback improvements
- Fixed HTTP authentication popup saving credentials for a wrong host in case of redirection
- Fixed a redraw issue when opening print panel while page is still loading
- Fixed to default mimeType to text/html if missing in response from server
- Fixed a couple of minor memory leaks
- Updated libnix and libpng16 both with additional Altivec optimizations
- Updated libxml2, libwebp

Review: "Finnish Amiga Users Group" at the Vectorama 2023
In mid-June, Vectorama 2023, an online gaming event aimed at people of all ages, took place in Oulu, Finland. Also present was the Finnish Amiga Users Group, which organised an Amiga stand at the gaming event.
The stand featured an Amiga 500 with Gotek, THEA500 Mini, six A1200 computers, and two MorphOS machines. The A1200 setups were equipped with 030 accelerators and WHDLoad collections. One A1200 also had a PiStorm accelerator to be shown, but it was swapped back to a 030 for better games compatibility. A Mac mini setup was running an infoscreen presentation made with Hollywood Designer and playing some background music, and an iBook setup was used to enter scores from games competitions with a custom program made with Hollwood and MUI Royale. The scores updated in real-time to the infoscreen computer via NetFS Revised mounted network shares. Competitions were held in Pang, Giana Sisters S.E., and Smarty and the Nasty Gluttons games, and three best players in each game were rewarded with prizes.
The latest videos and photos from the event have now been updated to the Finnish Amiga Users Group's event page. (dr)

Virtual Enemies: Devlog #2 - Registration, Network, Language-Support
For the announced strategy game "Virtual Enemies" (amiga-news.de reported), the developers have published a second devlog:
"It's time to give another interim report on the development status of "Virtual Enemies". So how does it looks like:
Character registration is almost complete. That means, the player chooses his language, enters his pseudonym and chooses a sponsor. Nothing is saved yet. This is also not the goal for Amiga38.
What will also not be part of the playable prototype is network communication. Nevertheless, we have already dealt with it a bit and can announce that according to current knowledge, communication with a game server works fine. More details about the planned multiplayer features will follow soon.
Oh, by the way, we have finished the internal tests on the language mod system. The system works great! We just need to add automatic detection of new languages until the final version. But this is not a priority at this point.
Next steps are the provisional creation of a main menu, a mailbox system and the creation of 2 tutorial missions. For everything else placeholder graphics will be used.
After finishing this work the Amiga38 is welcome to come. Some pictures will follow at the end of July, if everything goes according to plan. However, we have to point out that these are placeholder graphics and will definitely still be replaced!" (dr)

AROS distribution: AROS Vision "Sunrise"
Olaf Schönweiß has uploaded a new version of his distribution Aros Vision. There is no information if and what new features there are apart from the addition of Marcus Sackrow's programs AmiDream and AmiTranslate.
Below you can read a general distribution description by its compiler.
"A brief overview of Aros Vision 'Sunrise': AROS/68k is used as a base. This makes it possible to use AROS and Amiga binaries together. The API implements the functionality of AmigaOS 3.1, so many programs run.
From AROS/68k it inherits RTG, AHI, the MUI implementation Zune, the disk image device, network support, themes, the functionality of Magic Menue and 24-bit datatypes. A preconfigured Magellan is used as the desktop.
Many archive types are predefined and can be opened with a double click and searched and unpacked with an interface (xadmaster). The common packers are pre-installed.
WHDLoad is preinstalled and preconfigured with AROS ROMs. These work with about 60-70% of the slaves. If you want, you can add the original ROM files yourself in the Devs:Kickstarts folder. IGames for startup is included, as well as several WHDLoad games and demos.
The time is synchronized via internet at startup (for this, the time zone must be set correctly).
Shell is very similar to the original. Among other things, almost all AmigaDOS commands of version 3.1 are included, plus many more commands in the C directory. In addition, more handlers are preconfigured in the L directory.
The desktop (Magellan) integrates many of the commands from C and makes them easier to use by integrating them into file types and offering specific context menus. Likewise, after double-clicking, display or playback programs are defined for many types. These can be e.g. music files, mods, videos, animations or pictures. Likewise there are conversion possibilities in many cases.
For websites you can use Amifox, in combination with Amitube also play Youtube videos. Alternatively, there is the browser AWeb or an FTP program and the e-mail program Simplemail.
There are many more programs included such as games, demos, applications and interfaces.
Here is a small overview and selection of the preinstalled software:
- Music playback programs like AmigaAMP, Eagleplayer and HippoPlayer. Trackers like HivelyTracker, NewTracker. Other programs like SoundFX, conversion programs etc.
- Developer programs and compilers like ACE, AmiBlitz, AMOS, JForth, FreePascal, E-vo, Moduka and Oberon, script languages like Lua and Python.
- Emulators like ScummVM, DosBox, Frodo (C64), EmuBoy, Hatari and MasterGear
It is also possible to mount ADF and ISO images, create ADF files from inserted disks, scan the system for viruses, backup and restore important data, work with floppy disks, use tools for hard disks and much more. Additionally there are file managers (like DOpus4 and ClassAction), graphic software like WildFire and TVPaint, tools to edit icons or fonts, fractal programs, raytracer, Ignition, image viewer, PDF viewer, text editors, MakeCD, AmigaEyes, gag programs and many more.
The newest programs are AmiDream (AI for photos) and AmiTranslate (translation of texts). The distribution can be downloaded at the title link." (snx)

AmigaOS 4: Status update for the WebKit port
George 'walkero' Sokiano's describes the current status of the Webkit port in a forum post:
Since his last status report, he had not spoken up again, but a lot had happened behind the scenes. The work on the Webkit engine requires changes in adtools, gcc and the runtime library clib2 maintained by Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate - among other things, a pthreads implementation for clib2 is currently being worked on. Not only the Webkit port but also all future AmigaOS applications or ports would benefit from these changes and extensions.
A few weeks ago, they had finished porting most of the libraries required by Webkit to AmigaOS. Sokianos is currently working on a Webkit-based "mini-browser", which will initially load only a single page. The developer states the status of the work on this mini-browser "at 42%".
In the meantime, two new, very experienced developers, 'FlynnTheAvatar' and 'sTix', have joined the small team that takes care of the work around Webkit. (cg)

 "A Tale of Struggle and Adversity in the Fight to keep the Amiga alive. 'From Vultures to Vampires' is the fascinating true account of what happened to Commodore after the fateful New York auction sale of 1995.
Volume 2 chronicles the machinations and intricate shell games surrounding the Amiga's ownership from 2005 to 2010. The heated battle for the post-Commodore Amiga crown led to the ongoing development of competing next-generation PowerPC-based computers and operating systems.
As companies faded from the scene, new champions took up the challenge of keeping the Amiga dream alive. The twists and turns involving Commoodore's trademarks were more convoluted. with repeased opportunistic attempts to control the Commodore brand, something that continues to this day.

- Chapter 1: The circle of life: Happy 20th Birthday, Amiga!
- Chapter 2: Getting better? It can’t get no worse?
- Chapter 3: Powered up
- Chapter 4: Swimming against the tide
- Chapter 5: Breakthrough
- Chapter 6: A new beginning
- Chapter 7: Commodore revisited
'From Vultures to Vampires Volume 2' will be published as a hardback book of 288 pages, priced at 40.00 Euros (£35 / $45), and will be available from well-stocked bookstores, online retailers, and directly from the publisher on July 14, 2023. E-book editions for Kindle and other platforms will also be available.
Delivery to pre-order customers worldwide began on July 7, 2023.
The final volume 3 is expected in September 2023.
ISBN:
978-3-98249-854-6 (hardback book)
978-3-98249-855-3 (e-book)" (snx)
