AmiKit (ANF)


Workbench distribution: AmiKit XE 11.2 (gaming update)
Press release: Today's update brings a number of legendary games to your AmiKit! One of them is premiering on Amiga, actually. It's an action role-playing hack and slash game called Diablo (shareware). Yes, that's right! And you can play it in a window on your Workbench too!

The same with Dune II - you can play it in a window thanks to OpenDUNE port which enhances the original version as well (note that you need the original 1.07eu game files). We've also included a DOS emulator called DOSBox with several shareware games pre-installed like Prince of Persia 1 & 2, Wolfenstein3D and SuperMario. Nice, right? If you have kids, they will love Elfie the Unicorn! We've also included a special easy peasy version for them :-)

The update also contains a handful of important software updates and fixes. Enjoy! The complete changelog. (snx)

Settlement discussions between Cloanto and Hyperion aborted
As amiga-news.de has been told by several sources, the settlement discussions between Cloanto and Hyperion regarding a settlement agreement have been aborted without tangible results last week. As far as we know, the next step to avoid a lengthy and costly trial would be mediation involving a neutral mediator - but we don't know if both parties are actually working towards that option right now.

Leu 0.08: Opening Excel and ODS files
Version 0.08 of Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's FreePascal program for loading and editing Excel- (xlsx), Open- and LibreOffice- (ods) as well as TurboCalc- (tcd) and ASCII files (csv), called Leu, has been released for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS (ARM, x86, x64).

Regarding the chnages the author wrote: "Implemented basic sorting and search function including replace, very basic but working, also the sorting close to the LibreOffice sorting, multi key sorting (up to 3 but in principle could make more, but is more than 3 really useful?)."

Commercial puzzle game: MATCHIC Collector's Edition (Update)
In the puzzle game MATCHIC you have to place tokens of the same colour next to each other to make them disappear. The game was already commercially released in 1991 but only available only for a short time due to the bankruptcy of the publisher. The British publisher Psytronik is going to relaunch the game in a big box.


The box contains the following items:
  • MATCHIC game on 3.5" disk presented with a vinyl disk label.
  • A3 game artwork poster.
  • Glossy instruction manual.
  • Glossy art card.
  • Badges.
  • Stickers.
  • Keyring.
The game will be delivered in March. Everyone who pays in advance will get a discount of 10 percent on the selling price of about 47 Euro.

Update: (16.02.20, 00:00, cg)

In addition to the Collector's Edition, there's also a Premium+ Edition (disk and booklet in a plastic case with a professionally printed inlay for 13 GBP or 15.70 EUR) as well as a Budget Edition (just disk and booklet for 6.30 GBP or 7.60 EURO) available. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: SSHTerm 1.2
Fredrik 'salass00' Wikstrom has released version 1.2 of an Amiga spezific SSH solution called SSHTerm. It requires AmiSSL 4.3.

Changes in version 1.2:
  • Specifying the KEYFILE argument now implies that public key authentication should be used instead of any other method (same as in ssh2-handler).
  • Now uses an offscreen buffer for text rendering which should speed up anti-aliased text rendering on most platforms.
  • Increased read and write buffers in main loop from 256 to 1024 bytes.
