MorphOS: Word processor Folio 1.0
Folio "is a word processing tool that utilizes web browser technologies to satisy basic word processing needs and to provide a user experience that is similar to long-established programs such as Microsoft WordPad and Apple TextEdit" (amiga-news.de reported).
Full list of changes:
- Added support for Odyssey Web Browser v1.24. Folio no longer requres v1.23 to run.
- Added support for locally installed fonts (including filtering of unsupported ones).
- Added User Interface Settings to enable users to adapt the application look so it can be made to fit seamlessly into anyone's personalized OS environment.
- Added ability to save a 'native' file format, which adds various application-specific properties but remains compliant with the HTML standard, thereby retaining full cross-platform compatibility.
- Added 'focus mode' to hide the application user interface during writing sessions via toolbar or repeatedly pressing F2. (Useful to remove distractions and to increase the visible content in smaller screen resolutions.)
- Added per-document settings.
- Added ability to scale down and up the document content. Note: Zooming in does degrade performance.
- Added ability to alter line heights. (Useful for moving text to the right place on a page.)
- Added ability to alter letter spacing.
- Improved printing & PDF export: Application UI should be hidden while exporting to PDF or printing via Odyssey Web Browser.
- Added HTML and MHT file export options for improved interoperability with all common office suites.
- Added (very) simple RTF file export.
- Added plain text file export.
- Added ability to run Folio from shell.
- Added ability to load native Folio documnents from shell. (folio yourdrive:yourfolder/yourfile.folio)
- Added Ambient Folio file type. (Folio checks for its presence and installs it if needed.)
- Added Ambient Folio document icon. (Folio checks for its presence and installs it if needed.)
- Replaced the program icon.

A600: Vampire HDMI mount/ESC VGA mount
Stefan Egger offers slf-made mounts for the HDMI port of a Vampire 600 and for the VGA port of an Indivision ECS. If you have removed the TV modulator from your Amiga 600, you can set up Egger's mount instead of it - the case has not to be changed. The Vampire version has a HDMI extension and is available for 15 Euro, but only as "limited quantity". The mount for the VGA port is available for 7,50 Euro, but according to Egger "the design has not yet been installed and therefore not tested."
For the VGA mount a STL file is available for free for printing the mount using a 3d printer.

FPGA graphics board: Driver and firmware 1.7 for the VA2000
Lukas 'mntmn' Hartmann has released another update of the firmware and driver for his FPGA-based graphics board VA2000. Additional to some bug fixes, an experimental autoconfig/autoboot function for the SD-card was added. Hartmann did it with a SanDisk SDHC 16 GB. Currently only the first 4GB are accepted as partition and there are crashes on a 68060 - slower processors work fine.

Music composed with Amiga: Calvin Harris - "I created Disco"
In an interview with musicradar.com, the Scottish DJ Calvin Harris has talked about his start as musician and descibed how he did produce electronic music with the A500 and later with the A1200. His first album, released in 2007, was called I created Disco - which among others got a top ten position in the British album charts - and was completely produced on an Amiga 1200. Quote Harris: "Why not? The Amiga did a great job!".

Münch now announces (German) on his website that after twelve years, he has been contacted by Hyperion and was asked to remove some of the downloads, since they contained code to which Hyperion holds some rights. In response, Münch decided to take the entire site offline.

Stereo headphone amplifier for Amiga computers: KA71
The sound output of the Amiga is given out on four channels: two on the left stereo channel and two on the right one - this is not an advantage if you use headphones. rastport.com offers a solution for this problem: An amplifier for the Amiga called KA71. "KA71 can mix stereo channels at a level adjustable with a knob, from full separation to mono output." Still it is not clear when the device will be available at the distributor of rastport.com.

As an example project Amibian.js is included.
While Gunnar Kristjansson's Amibian is an image for the Raspberry Pi starting right into Amiga emulation (amiga-news.de reported), Amibian.js is an AmigaOS emulation in JavaScript, which similar to FriendUP runs in a browser (Amiga Cloud Desktop).

The arcade shooter "Tower 57" which was financed in summer 2015 by crowdfunding has not been finished yet. But Daniel Müßener updates his Amiga port of the game which is also in development.

Now Müßener has published a video at Youtube which demonstrates the latest devlopment status of the AmigaOS version. The author explicitly has pointed out that this a unfinished preversion of the game.

Cloanto: Transcripts of speeches on events (2014-2017)
In the forum of Amigaworld.net, 'Tripos' transcribed three videos in English, in which Mike Battilana gives an insight into the work of Cloanto from now up to 1986.
'Tripos' was inspired by A Discourse on Possible Futures, recently published on cloanto.org, discussing "discuss possible futures involving open source, a nonprofit and/or foundation, and other long-term preservation scenarios for the legacy which we worked so passionately to keep alive". Similar considerations about a network for possible releases of Amiga components also had Olaf Barthel.

Commodore documents on Hombre chipset found
Dr. Ed Hepler, who is the former "Director of System and VLSI architecture" at Commodore, has provided detailed documents on the Hombre chipset. The PA-RISC-based Hombre would have been the base for the planned next generation of Amiga computers - if Commodore would not have gone bankcrupt. Until the last moment obviously they tried to sell the technology or to find an investor: a presentation featuring Hombre was created for a "Philips / Commodore Meeting" is dated 15. April 1994 - two weeks later Commodore Geschichte does not exist anymore.

Emulator: iUAE 1.3 for iOS
iUAE is an implementation of the Amiga emulator UAE for Apple's iOS devices. Because Apple does not add emulators to its Appstore in a simple way, iUAE is available via Cydia, which requires a Jailbreak. Users of a Mac-OS-X computer can install the program without using Jailbreak via Sideload to the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, by compiling the source code on their own.
