AROS / MorphOS: Bounty-Project for Qt 4.8 replaced by Qt 5.4 (Update)
The description of the bounty for adapting the C++ class library Qt (amiga-news.de reported) to AROS, which Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró would accept, has been changed to the current version 5.4 due to a lack of interest of potential donors.

Nevertheless, Szilárd Biró is going to adapt Qt 4 because he himself requires this version. The donors of the original bounty project have been informed and can give their money for a different project or can get it back.

Update: (08:10, 26.01.15, snx)
On Szilárd Biró's request, MorphOS has been added to the bounty. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Internet via parallel port: plipbox 0.6
Christian 'lallafa' Vogelgsang's plipbox helps low-end classic Amigas connecting to a network. Linked to the parallel port, the Arduino-based adapter provides a connection to the Ethernet-port of the Arduino board. The magPLIP-protocol is used.

In version 0.6 a new parallel burst transfer mode was added which "really improves the I/O speed on this Amiga port". You can find some performance numbers of this mode under the title link. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4 / MorphOS: E-UAE PowerPC JIT 1.0.0
Álmos Rajnai's integration of a just-in-time-compiler in the Amiga emulator E-UAE for PowerPC-systems is no longer a beta version but version 1.0.0 and available for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS (as well as for Mac OS X and Linux).

Additionally under the title link he has suggested that his JIT-implementation - different from the x86-JIT - might be easily adapted to other processor architecturs like ARM. If he himself is going to do it, he does not know - he has developed the JIT-compiler for so many years that it would be time for something new and different.
