Crowd funding: Another A1200 case
At Indiegogo, Jarno Smit has started a crowd funding project called "AMIGA CASE". It is a case which according to the description is "based on classic Amiga 1200" and "is meant as a replacement for the old (yellowed/damaged) Amiga 1200 case": AMIGA CASE looks like a real A1200 but is slightly larger which provides more space for any expensions or a different motherboard.

AROS-Distribution: Aros Vision PAL and Aros Vision RTG 3.1
Olaf Schönweiß' has released new versions of his AROS/68k distribution "Aros Vision". The RTG version 3.1 (mainly meant for emulators) provides updated system files and you can choose between different MUI-implementations (Zune, MUI 3.8 and MUI 4 for AmigaOS) and Workbench replacements (Wanderer, Scalos, Magellan) (screenshot).
The new PAL-version is meant for slower hardware and provides less software. Because the author cannot test it on real Amigas, any feedback is welcome.

Voice output: speak-handler 39.1
Alexander 'selco' Fritsch has written a new speak-handler which is a replacement for the original one available on the Workbench disks starting with version 2.1. It is a new development and not a patch.
The new speak-handler can simultaneously use (experimentally) different versions of the translator.library and of the narrator.device. (In this way it is possible to use the retro sound of the old narrator.device provided by AmigaOS 1.3 as well as the modern sound of the device provided by AmigaOS 2.0.)

3D driver system: A-EON announced Warp 3D Nova and OpenGL ES 2.0
"Warp 3D" is a 3D driver system for AmigaOS which was developed by the Frieden brothers at the end of the nineties. Originally the archive was Freeware and in 2001 became a commercial product, distributed by Hyperion. Later it became part of AmigaOS 4. Unfortunately the drivers have not been developed further for years neither by the Friedens nor by Hyperion. Instead of, drivers for current graphic boards has been developed by Hans de Ruiter on behalf of A-EON. NOVA should be the name of the fifth version Warp 3D which was never released.

Hollywood 6.1 available
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present Hollywood 6.1. Hollywood 6.1 is a major update with many new features and bug fixes. The most important new feature is that Hollywood 6.1 now comes with GUIs for Mac OS (x86 and PowerPC) and Linux (x86, PowerPC, ARM). Previously Hollywood could only be used from the command line on these systems. Starting with Hollywood 6.1 the Mac OS and Linux versions come with a native GUI which is identical to the GUI used in the Amiga version.
Additionally, Hollywood plugins can now be linked into executables compiled by Hollywood. Speaking of plugins, Hollywood 6.1 contains major extensions to the plugin interface which will be utilized by a soon to be released killer plugin which has been three years in the making. This plugin (codename: Secret Weapon III) will be the most powerful plugin in the history of Hollywood and it will open up a whole new world of programming with Hollywood. And it will be released free of charge for all Hollywood users. So watch this space...

AmigaOS 4: Beta version of Cinnamon Writer 0.95
Claus Desler's Cinnamon Writer is a "compact and efficient word processor developed especially with Amiga and Amiga-like systems in mind" which can import RTF and DocX files and offers a spellchecker.
Almost three years after the last release, at least for AmigaOS 4 a new beta version is available which among others supports inserting pictures. The version for MorphOS still has some bugs. Therefore it has not been released yet. A version of the Cinnamon Writer for AROS will be released if the author once is "happy with AOS4 and MorphOS versions."
