Video tutorial: Creating a vertical scrolling demo with Scorpion Engine
Erik 'earok' Hogan has posted on YouTube a recording of a Twich stream showing how to create a vertically scrolling demo from scratch on the Amiga (and Sega Mega Drive) using the Scorpion Engine.
As the developer explains, the Amiga has no native support for column scrolling, but it does have the ability to display sprites with infinite height, which makes it possible to emulate the effect. The demo versions for the Amiga and the Sega Mega Drive look the same, but the setuo is fundamentally different.

Video tutorial: The Blitz Basic tool "Drawer Helper"
Rob 'daedalus2097' Cranley has streamed another part of his Blitz Basic tutorial on Twitch (amiga-news.de reported) and made it available on YouTube: this time he dedicates himself to his second contribution to the Amiga Tool Jam after Closer, the tool "Drawer Helper" which is currently under development.
The basic idea of the Commodity is to integrate a little of the functionality of Directory Opus into the Workbench. When a window is open, pressing F1 gives a small toolbar and thus the functionality to, for example, refresh the window, create/delete a folder or insert files.

AmigaOS 4: USB Audio 2 Recording and Playback with "USBAudio2
Lyle Hazelwood had already worked intensively on audio playback under AmigaOS 4 in the past: he had completed a USB-CAMD-MIDI driver, further developed the MIDI sequencer BarsnPipes for AmigaOS 4 or published various MIDI libraries and tools. Now he has written "USBAudio2", a small tool that supports USB devices with the "audio protocol 2" of the USB standard. It should now be possible to operate webcams, for example. The tool is controlled via the shell by means of three commands for playing and recording or displaying the input level.

Font: "TopazDouble" as Amiga-native recreation of Topaz
"TopazDouble" is an Amiga-native recreation of the 8×8 pixel Topaz font, now rendered in 8×16 for modern resolutions. As the developers wrote, the classic Amiga with 640×256 (PAL) uses a resolution close to 2:1 - which means that the standard Topaz font would be half-height if used with resolutions with a pixel aspect ratio closer to 1:1.

After the nine-month journey, they spend 16 months on the surface of Mars and another 9 months on the journey home to Earth.
In space, you can visit asteroids and search for ice, like on Mars for signs of life. Using equipment, you can produce air, fuel and food from ice.

In addition to some adjustments and bug fixes, the information on a selected program is now no longer displayed on the bottom right-hand side, but on the left-hand side in a separate tab, which is automatically switched to when a program is selected.

AROS: Forum closes, successor recommended
Already in the middle of July Ola '4pLaY' Jensen had announced that the forum "AROS-Exec" would be closed on September 19 for health and financial reasons. Since nothing has changed since then, Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz recommends to use AROSWorld as successor.
Ola Jensen's withdrawal from the AROS Archives, on the other hand, has no further consequences, since Krzysztof Śmiechowicz has already supported him here since the end of 2021 and continues this commitment.

AmigaOS 4: Sylpheed 3.7.0 for AmiCygnix released
Edgar Schwan wrote: Version 3.7.0 of the email client Sylpheed is available for AmiCygnix (snapshot). It is based on GTK+ GUI Toolkit. The design and
user interface is similar to many well-known email programs from the Windows
world, such as Outlook Express.
Why another mailer? Sylpheed has a very good support of the IMAP4 protocol,
which is currently only available with a few Amiga mailers. But Sylpheed
also has other interesting features.
New in this release:
- Update to the latest stable version of Sylpheed. The program was ported from scratch and some bugs were fixed that way.
- Working remote control of Sylpheed. Sylpheed can only be started once, when started again, the options are passed to the running program.
- Update to SQLite 3.9.3 in "bogofilter 1.2.5".
Supported protocols:
- POP3 / APOP
- IMAP4rev1
- SMTP / SMTP AUTH
- NNTP (News)
- SSL / TLSv1 (POP3, SMTP, IMAP4rev1, NNTP)
Features:
- multiple accounts
- thread display
- newsreader
- printing
- address book
- templates
- external editor (e.g. Vim, which has spell checking)
- powerful filtering (POP3, IMAP4, local spool)
- powerful search (query search, quick search, search folder)
- customization of toolbar
- mark / color label
- and much more

Video: Emulator E-UAE for AmigaOS4
UAE (abbreviation for Unix Amiga Emulator or Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator) is a software emulator that can be used to run Amiga programs on various operating systems. For Windows, a special variant called WinUAE was developed on the basis of UAE. Based on WinUAE, E-UAE was developed to make its special functions usable on other operating systems. The version ported and available on AmigaOS 4 dates from 2015 (amiga-news.de reported).
Roman 'kas1e' Kargin has created an extensive video about E-UAE under AmigaOS 4, in which he describes the basics and the development. He also explains how the changes made to the source code since 2015 affect it by compiling a current version and showing this using the example of the emulation of AmigaOS 3.2.2.1.

RTG driver: P96 V3.4.0 released
Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) has released version 3.4.0 of his RTG driver P96, which can be bought or downloaded from the order history at iComp. He wrote: "Highlights of this new release are emulation of EHB mode (64-colour mode of the Amiga chipset) and support of the RainbowII card, which is identical to the BSC Framemaster. Further, the Commodore A2410 board is supported - this card is also known as the "Tiga card". This driver is still in an early development phase, and it does not yet use DMA. Further, P96Prefs (amiga-news.de reported) and P96ScreenCX are now part of the package - the latter for multi-monitor operation with a native Amiga screen alongside the GFX card's output."
