Puzzle game: AmiBrixx 2.0 for all Amiga systems
Jörg 'Evil' Renkert wrote about the game: "In a field of stacked stones, your target is to elminate groups of stones of the same color. Thereby the other stones will fall down and form new groups. The game ends, when no more groups can be eliminated."
The gameplay of the original release from 2004 is the same as in version 2.0 but online highscores and the option of downloading "skins" from within the game were added. AmiBrixx was written with Hollywood and therefore is available for AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, AROS, Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android.

Final Writer: New screenshots / release date is getting closer
In 2015 Timothy 'terminills' Deters has acquired the rights to the word processing software "Final Writer" (amiga-news.de reported). The latest screenshots show font rendering and spelling.
Final Writer will be able to save documents as a PDF. Furthermore Deters wrote: "RTF has been updated to the final spec as well. I have many future enhancements planned based on how quickly I can recover my costs. You can print to selectable devices and PDFDirect support has been started but it'll take a little bit before I would say that is feature complete."
He also said that there is a "a slim possibility of releasing FW before the end of the year".

Event: Video and reports of AmiWest 2020 (update)
This year's AmiWest is taking place this weekend - as usual in Sacramento, California. Our news-item will be updated as further videos, news (besides release of Enhancer Core) and reports are released.
Videos:
Reports:
- Report of Thomas Richter: Individual Computers has released version 3.0 of the RTG driver P96, free for those ones who purchased the software during the last 12 months. It now "supports screen dragging for all graphic cards included in the package, except for the CVisionPPC whose hardware lacks a particular feature to make it work. The next important feature is that there is a new driver pair, namely for the CVisionPPC and BVisionPPC boards. They support all bitmap types (unlike under CGfx) except planar, namely chunky 8 bit, 16 bit RGB, 16 Bit RGB PC, 16 bit BGR PC, 24 bit RGB, 24 bit BGR, 32 bit RGBA, 32 bit BGRA, 32 bit ARGB and 32 bit ABGR."
- Report of TribbleSmasher: The accelerator board ACA 1260 developed by Individual Computers "is still delayed as features are added and it seems the focus will be on the 040 version because of the shortage or insane prices for 060 cpus.
IComp also produced new dsub23 connectors and will create a bugfixed Buster12 chip with Dave Haynie! - ACube will produce the Tabor A1222 prototypes and Tabor is no longer called by its code name anymore.
Also the sound driver is ready..." Only "a few bugs to iron out" (AmigaKit). - TribbleSmasher continues writing: "AmigaOS4 updates and bugfixes are plentiful but there is some controversy how to distribute them: new disc or other methods, and date is ambigious too."
- Report of Amifrog (not public): The kernel ExecSG now boots faster and includes new mechanism for later support of multiple cores; a new version of the Enhancer Software is planned for X-MAS; a PPC-native version of ImageFX Studio was announced.

ATnoX: ATX power supplies for Amiga (update)
The Amiga 1000 (and, depending on additional hardware usage, also the Amiga 2000 and 3000) require a so-called tick signal not provided by ATX power supplies. It is a 50 or 60-Hz reference signal for the video chipset. ATnoX is an open source board for using ATX power supplies on the Amiga which adds this signal.
Update: (06:52, 15.10.20, snx)
Additional information regarding the Amiga 2000 and 3000. Both mainboards can be configured to generate the tick signal from the clock rate instead (like those Amiga models with integrated keyboard do). This jumper setting reduces accuracy, though. Thus for certain applications, e.g. genlock usage, also these big box Amigas do require a power supply providing the tick signal.
