Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.72 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is a graphical user-interface with 128 colours which is meant for starting WHDLoad-games (.slave, .exe).

In version 0.72 a bug was fixed. Additionally now by pressing the DELETE-key it is possible to prevent X-bEnCH to be loaded and instead to start the Workbench. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Dragon-/Tandy-Emulator XRoar 0.28.1
XRoar ported by Ventzislav Tzvetkov emulates the 8-Bit-systems Dragon and Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer. A minimal firmware is included in the archive but for the real compatibility the ROM-image of the emulated computers is required.

Changes since our last message:
  • CPU timing fix
  • Temporary fix for French keyboard: superscript 2 mapped to Clear
  • Fix emulation of Dragon 32 with 64K
  • New keyboard map: Canadian French [Pierre Sarrazin]
  • CPU core optimisations
  • VDG palette tweaks
  • Allow user to specify rom lists with -romlist, and inspect the currently defined lists with -romlist-print
  • Similarly, allow user to specify ROM CRC32s that are equivalent with -crclist, printing current list with -crclist-print
  • Use ROM CRCs to determine which breakpoints are effective
  • Force CRC matching (breakpoints only based on arch) with -force-crc-match
  • Add -tape-write option to specify an output tape file on the command line
  • Add -type option to type a string into BASIC
  • Permit incomplete last tracks in JVC disk images
  • Removed GP32 and NDS support from main tree
  • Remove obsolete GTK+ version 1 file requester
  • Test for and use GLib list and hash functions if available
  • Data bus state updated during NVMA (fixes Manic Miner protection)
  • -tape-pad-auto leader thresholds updated
  • CPU fixes: verified flags set/cleared in SEX and DAA instructions
  • Tape fixes: various usability fixes
  • VDK files: fill in header bytes more completely when writing
  • SAM-VDG interaction fix - 48 byte-per-line mode now works
  • More resilient fast tape loading

MorphOS: Audio-converter Zormanita 1.1
Zormanita is another example how the Reggae-library can be used. The source code is available under a BSD-licence. Currently Zormanita can convert AIFF-, 8SVX-, 16SV-, WAVE- and MP3-files to the formats AIFF, WAVE or RAW. Altivec is supported.

Version 1.1 also includes an update for Reggae which now supports the 24- and 32-Bit modes of AIFF, WAVE, and RAW. Additionally default file name extension based on selected codec was added. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Hollywood-Plugins for Android available
Since July the development environment Hollywood also supports Google's Handheld operating system Android. Meanwhile most of the Hollywood-Plugins also are available under Android.

The plugins are available in two different versions: The so called "armeabi"-Build works with floating-point numbers in a software library similar to AmigaOS' math*-libraries. The "armeabi-v7a"-versions use the faster floating-point hardware of modern processors which all newer Android-devices contain - in case of doubt have a look at the manual of the device if it supports hardware floating-point calculations.

The plugins have to be copied to the directory "Hollywood/_Plugins" on the SD-card of the Android-device. You can get more information in the Android Release Notes. (cg) (Translation: dr)
