WarpOS port of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (update)
Raven Software's Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is a 3D action game released in 2002. Its source code was released in 2013. The WarpOS port requires the level files of the commercial release. The developer warns against several bugs which still have not been fixed.
Update: (22.07.20, 21:30, cg)
In the German comment area a reader has pointed out that the game is not suitable for the original accelerator boards produced by Phase 5 due to the hardware requirements - it might be meant for G3/G4 based PCI cards in a Mediator-PCI busboard which are integrated by the sonnet.library into the system.

Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.28 released
Thomas Wenzel wrote: After extensive testing, the new version of AmigaAMP now is ready for an official release. Mainly bugs have been fixed.
In the 68k version now Bebbos GCC 6.5 is used which now again produces correct Non-FPU-Code. Therefore AmigaAMP again works on an unexpanded 68020. The support for the sndfile.library was implemented again, so classic sound files (AIFF, WAV, 8SVX) can be played. As usual first of all the new version is available on the homepage of AmigaAMP, later also on Aminet.

The 100% useless AROS distribution version 0.2
By releasing version 0.2 according to the author Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow his AROS distribution "it's only 99% useless". His version is based on AROS64 before SMP was added.
The author wrote: "I added some more programs, (not only my own) the FP-IDE does work, but sadly the compilation still crash, so you have to use the shell to compile. I even got the network to work and MUIMapparium shows the map nicely and search also works".
