`19.Jul.2023` Apollo-Forum	FPGA: Apollo-Core-Update GOLD 2.17 "Bronto" The Apollo-Core is a FPGA reimplementation of the m68k series produced by Motorola which also provides a separate graphics driver called SAGA. The core is used in the Vampire accelerator boards 600 V2, 500 V2+ and 1200 V2. Changes: Card supports now to run in one of 4 different speed mode. This allows for run old games e.g. in speed of A500 or A1200, to improve running old games that have problems running on faster CPUs. Support for new instruction EXTUB.L This instruction is very useful for type conversion. It is used by some GCC versions. Supporting it does improve code density and improves performance. Support for new instruction EXTUW.L This instruction is very useful for type conversion. It is used by some GCC versions. Supporting it does improve code density and improves performance. Support for enhanced instructions BRA.s+ BSR.s+ BCC.s+ This instruction is supported by some compilers and assemblers. This instruction improves code density and improves performance. Hardware optimized version of FPU instruction FDBcc.w Hardware optimized version of FPU instruction FDBcc.l several FPU Performance optimizations ported from V4-FPU to V2 (dr) [News message: 19.

`19.Jul.2023` Mastodon	Platform game: Rastan demo v0.31 Rastan was released in 1987 by Taito for arcade machines. Now an Amiga port is in development and after a first preview video (amiga-news.de reported) there are now also demo versions, which the developer still calls alpha versions. Changes in version 0.31: 2nd fire button to jump properly implemented. Fixed Rastan's castrato death howl. Fixed horizontal movement for downward plunges to make them behave the same way regular jumps do. Fixed AI ledge bug for level 1-B warriors. Added hard-drive version. (dr) [News message: 19.

`18.Jul.2023`	AmigaOS 4.1: Finance management LüttjeBookholler 1.86 "Lüttje Bookholler" is a German dialect and means "little accountant". The program is capable to import account data via csv-import. Changes since our last news item: Recognises a transaction as existing if there are many spaces in a row in the reason for payment. (Duplicate entries may occur after the update if the next import overlaps in date with existing data. Then simply delete them) No crash when printing if no printer is set up. Italian catalog by Samir Hawamdeh Under certain circumstances charts were not saved during evaluation. FullHD tables for Ignition evaluation (dr) [News message: 18.

`18.Jul.2023`	AmigaOS 4.1: ignition-OpenDocument plugin v0.38 The ods-addon of the spreadsheet ignition (amiga-news.de reported) was updated to version 0.38. The addon allows loading and saving tables in OpenDocument format, which is used in LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc among others. Some improvements were made to prevent endless reading and the debug outputs were removed to speedup performance. (dr) [News message: 18.
