AROS: Text editor 'TwinsIDE 0.1' in progress
According to the developer 'serk118' under the title link, he has started developing a text editor called 'TwinsIDE' for AROS IDE. As he writes, the original plan was to either finish his work on porting AmiDE or to work on porting MurksIDE. But since the latter does not support syntax highlighting, he decided to write a text editor from scratch.

Book: Interest in a German version of Commodore - The Inside Story? (Update)
Three years ago the English book "Commodore: The Inside Story" became available at retailers. There the former Commodore UK Managing Director David Pleasance describes the twelve years in which he worked for the company.
Currently he wants to find out interest in a German version of the book, translation would be done by Anton Preinsack. Sufficient demand given, a crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter would be started, with a price of 35 British Pounds for the hardcover book (almost 42 Euros currently). An e-book version would follow. If you are interested in it, please write an e-mail to email@davidpleasance.com with the subject "German Translation".

It is recommended to copy the libraries bullet.library and rexxsyslib.library from AmigaOS 3.1 to Libs: and the command rexxmast to C: and to use the Installer 43.3 by Amiga Technologies (Aminet) for installation. WHDLoad is pre-installed using AROS ROMs; for full support, you will need original Kickstart ROMs (description).

RTG driver: P96 V3.2.1 released
Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) wrote:
"We've released P96 V3.2.0 in time for Christmas. Now some changes have now been implemented after lots of customers have used it in a large variety of configurations. Errors that were reported in our support forum have been addressed immediately. The update is already available in our shop system, so every new download is providing the latest version.
This time the list of changes is very extensive. The biggest changes have been in the area of blitter emulation, but even older cards could be persuaded via a software trick to use a hardware sprite as a mouse pointer, which brings noticeable speed gains. Perhaps the biggest change is that the ZZ9000 is supported with its dual-palette feature, so screen dragging is possible without color artifacts."
The detailed list of changes is available in the Support Forum.
