Morgue Soft stops developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow"
After more than 27 years, Juan Carlos 'Templario' Herran Martin has stopped his developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow" which is a point'n'click horror adventure written in Hollywood:
According to 'Templario' this game is "a little summary of the best games and programs made for me with my programming and graphic design skills". It is available for MorhpOS 2.7-3.x, AmigaOS4.x, AROS, Windows and Linux.
During the past years he has released software like the picture viewer Videntium Picta, the picture editing programm Pintor Web or the PDF viewer GrimoriumPDF. Furthermore he wrote diverse slot machine games and adult games.
His first projects 'Templario' wrote in AmiBlitz/BlitzBasic for his brother. Since 2010 he has used Hollywood as his main developing software. In response to our question about the reasons for his decision he answered that it "is very complicated making games for Amiga systems when there are not skilled graphic designers in this hobby, and the motivation and the input of fresh ideas is low."
Now he is enjoying his hobby as another spectator of the scene. We wish him much fun in the new period of life and all the best for the future!

Virus Help Team: New Bootblock virus Game Over
Again a new bootblock virus was found, called "Game Over". The Virus Help Team describes it as dangerous "due to no antivirus program can find it" but also because the virus injects its code into different places "where there is room on the host disk, so it does not overwrite any data".

Text editor: Amiga Source Editor 1.2 (2019)
The "Amiga Source Editor" (ASE) is a text editor written by Alain Fontanin. He started to develop it in 1989 but stopped it in 1991. When Fontanin watched the documentary "Viva Amiga" last year, he was reminded "of this beautiful time". Since he no longer develops anything on Mac, he decided to "carry out this personal project and redevelop ASE".
Unfortunately he could not find any of the source codes except the "linked list manager (GLC) which had been published in 1991 in "le Petit Amiga Illustré". Additional to the source codes, he also lost the ASE distribution disks which he is looking for. They were distributed in France at Free Distribution SoftWare (FDS) with the number SH 1064. If anyone finds or has it please write the author.
ASE is a "multi-document" text editor: "You can open as many documents as your activity requires or your machine allows (especially in terms of memory and CPU power). The theoretical limit of the number of lines per document is 4.2 billion! The theoretical limit of the number of characters per line is 4.2 billion! ASE2019 has 1 level 'undo' function and Select / Copy / Cut / Paste editing functions." According to the author the editor runs on Amigas equipped with Kickstart zwischen 2.04 until 3.1, higher versions he could not test under FS-UAE. But we can confirm that ASE2019 also runs fine under OS3.9

FreePascal: Docker container for developing software on Amiga systems
Docker (Wikipedia entry) provides containers which "are a standardized unit of software that allows developers to isolate their app from its environment".
Such a container for Docker, Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow now has created for the Pascal compiler FreePascal as well as for the Pascal-based Lazarus Component Library (LCL) in order to being able to develop programms for AmigaOS 3.x, MorphOS and AROS. A VNC server is used for accessing the container. Due to some problems occuring if LCL is tried to compile for AmigaOS 4, this operating system currently is not supported.
