Compiler: vbcc 0.9d Patch 2
vbcc is a C-compiler written by Volker Barthelmann (compiler core) and Frank Wille (Amiga-specific adaptions). The compiler supports AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, PowerUp and WarpOS and meets ISO-C (ISO/IEC 9899:1989) as well as a part of the new standard ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99).
As patch to the current version 0.9d, some changes are added (s. Patch 1):
- make setjmp() and longjmp() save and restore FPU registers, which seems required since C99. Note that, for 68k, you have to link with the respective math library (m881, m040, m060) to get the function with FPU support. The PPC vclib will always assume that an FPU is present.
- Additionally, the 68k archive contains the missing kick13 configuration file.

Amiga-Emulator: WinFellow 0.5.3
In close succession, two versions of the Windows-based Amiga emulator WinFellow 0.5.3 have been released. The second one ("0.5.3 build 1004") was compiled again with Visual Studio 2013 Update 5, to avoid compatibility problems with Windows XP. The originally released version provides the following changes:
New features:
- support for high DPI configurations, also when used together with Amiga Forever 2016
- support for the original Amiga 1000 boot process from Kickstart disk boot; configure the A1000 bootstrap ROM like any other ROM image for the feature to be automatically enabled
- support for keyboard-initiated reset - press Ctrl+Left Windows+Right Windows or Ctrl+Left Windows+Context Menu (as not all keyboards have a right Windows key) to initiate a reboot within an emulated session
- support for extended ROM images; this gives the ability to use the AROS boot ROM
- support for screenshots, clipping editor/live preview and scanlines in Amiga Forever
Changed functions:
- WinFellow is now compiled using Visual Studio 2015
- the default configuration contains 512kB chip/bogo memory now and has the real-time clock active (Amiga 500 with A-501 expansion)
- the default configuration is now windowed and has LEDs active
- chip memory mirroring has been implemented for OCS chipsets; the change was required for compatibility reasons, as some titles rely on it. because of this change, chip memory is now limited to 512kB when an OCS blitter has been configured; if you need to use more, please use the ECS Agnus blitter in your display configuration (it is an actual limitation of the OCS chipset)
- 2x mode in Amiga Forever now scales via DirectX instead of the internal draw modules (design change was necessary to enable live preview in 2x mode)
Fixed bugs:
- implemented bogo memory mirroring for ECS chipset with 512kB chip/bogo memory (required by the demo Move any Mountain)
- fix for CIA timer logic (fixes the game Atomix)
- fixes for several CPU instructions:
- '020 bit-field instructions were re-implemented (fix for Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 96k)
- ASL instruction's overflow detection was improved
- MULU flag check improved
- escape key special handling in Amiga Forever improved (some titles would not detect an escape key press before)

AROS: FUSE file system bounty project finished
The project for implementing the FUSE API including a NTFS-driver for AROS/i386, donated with 524 US-Dollar, has been finished by Fredrik Wikstrom in this year's attempt.
Currently the FUSE-system has been not added to the AROS-builds, but can be downloaded. You can find information about the installation and usage on AROS-Exec.
Please note, that automounting is still not supported. How you can generate a mountlist using the HDToolBox, you can also learn in the thread on AROS-Exec.
The port of the ALSA audio driver for the Linux-hosted version for AROS has been almost finished by Krzysztof Śmiechowicz. Currently it is tested. You can still donate for the project.

A Laptop featuring preinstalled UAE: A-EON introduces A.L.I.C.E.
In a press release that was apparently meant to be published prior to AmiWest, A-EON is officially announcing the A.L.I.C.E. project:
Press release:
Introducing the A.L.I.C.E. Laptop
A Laptop Incorporating a Classic Experience
Sacramento 17th October 2015
A-EON Technology is pleased unveil the A.L.I.C.E. prototype at AmiWest 2015. A.L.I.C.E. is an x86 laptop that boots straight into the AmiKit Classic Amiga environment.
A.L.I.C.E. utilizes ordinary PC Laptop hardware to achieve extraordinary results. A truly immersive "Classic" experience has been created in a modern portable package by leveraging commodity hardware and existing emulation solutions. The core of A.L.I.C.E. is Amiga Forever and the freely available AmiKit software environment running on top of Linux. The Linux environment is completely hidden, but easily accessed if desired.
A.L.I.C.E. also includes a "Rabbit Hole" feature which integrates both Windows and Linux applications into the AmiKit environment. Amiga document and media files now open up in Libre Office, MPlayer, Firefox, etc. In fact any application that can be installed under Linux can be run from the AmiKit workbench. A.L.I.C.E. also provides a platform to easily access AMIStore and all of the upcoming software releases planned for Classic Amiga users. Exclusive add-on features are also planned that will only be available to A.L.I.C.E. users.
Ján Zahurančík, the developer of AmiKit said, “I have been dreaming about a portable Amiga computer ever since my real Amiga desktop could not keep up with my travel plans anymore. The A.L.I.C.E. laptop is the dream come true. Actually, the reality is more beautiful and more feature rich than the dream itself!”
Trevor Dickinson added, "I've always been a big fan of Amiga Forever and the AmiKit distribution but running an Amiga on top of Windows always felt a little clumsy to me. Several years ago I came up with the A.L.I.C.E. concept for a Classic Laptop but it has taken the combined skills and talent of the A.L.I.C.E. team to make the idea a reality. Amazing-ly, not only is A.L.I.C.E. portable it also delivers a lightning fast Classic experience.”
In addition to AmiKit, A.L.I.C.E. Can also boot into standard Linux and Windows environments and can support AmigaOS 4 Classic if the pre-requisite PicassoIV and PowerPC ROMS images are supplied.
The A.L.I.C.E. Team includes Ján Zahurančík (AmiKit), Ken Lester, Toni Wilen, Rex Schilasky, Kevin Saunders, Michael Battilana (Cloanto) and Pat Wall & Trevor Dickinson (A-EON)

Preview and pre-order: Wings Remastered Edition (AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS)
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener has released the first playable preview of his Amiga port of Wings Remastered Edition, which was announced at the "Amiga 30" in Neuss.
Müßener emphasises, that it is a very early pre-version which has not been sufficiently tested. Besides, some graphics have been not completed and are replaced by placeholders. Speed and the whole quality will be improved until the final version.
Simultaneously with the release of the preview, the Amiga version can be ordered in the online shop of Cinemaware - you have to pay in advance. Cinemaware stated that the game will be released in February 2016. In order to make the Amiga port happen, according to the developer "sufficient pre-orders" are required. He guesses a figure of about 300. If there will be not sufficient pre-orders, the users will get back their money.
While "Wings Remastered Edition" can be purchased at Steam for 15 Euro, the Amiga port costs 55 US-Dollar. But for this money, the game will be delivered in a big box including a printed manual ad a poster.
Ports for AmigaOS 4 with Warp 3D, AmigaOS 4 with RadeonHD-Compositing (for users without 3D-driver), MorphOS and AROS are available. Some graphics bugs which Müßener reduces to bugs in the graphic boards are already known:
- AmigaOS 4: Warp3D creates some missing polygons in the corner of the screen
- AmigaOS 4: Compositing should not be used with SouthernIsland and R200 chipsets due to heavy graphics bugs
- MorphOS: on some systems (e.g. Powerbook Radeon 9700) the lightning of the 3D models does not properly work; the objects appear too dark, the fog has the wrong colour

Playable Previews: Alter Ego, Chase
With the permission of the authors, 'Asman' has ported two Homebrew-NES-games for the Polish "RetroKomp GameDev Compo" to the Amiga. Originally released in 2011 for the ZX Spectrum, in "Alter Ego" the player has to toggle between his character and its second identity to collect all treasures.
"Chase" is a clone of the classic Pacman. In this version the enemies attack the player more determined. In return, the player is even faster then the enemies.
Both games can be quitted with the last mouse buttom. An Amiga 500 with 512 KB RAM is required.

Database: MUIbase 3.2 (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS)
Steffen Gutmann has released an update of his programmable database MUIbase. Changes in version 3.2:
- When a project has been changed, a '*' used to be prepended to the window title. This has been replaced by prepending the text 'Changed' instead. In addition, if a project has been locked by another MUIbase instance, the window title is now prepended with 'Locked'. Finally, if there is a newer version of the project on disk, the window title is prepended with 'Old'.
- Amiga: allow quick search in select-from-where lists similar to how this works in GTK.
- The programing functions MIN and MAX are now defined over arbitrary data types not just integers and reals numbers.
- The generation of the user manual has seen an overhaul and unused document formats such as PS and DVI have been removed.
- Linux: only non-deprecated functions of GTK3 are used now and the color and font choosers have been updated accordingly.
- Several bug fixes.

Firefox port: Source code of Timberwolf released
In July 2012, the bonus of 6700 Euro for a port of Firefox for AmigaOS 4 was paid out to the Frieden brothers, although "Release Candidate 1" of their port of Firefox 4.0 named "Timberwolf" did not run smoothly. Two other updates have been provided, then the project seemed to have been put on hold.
According to a comment of Thomas Frieden on amigans.net, both software programmers decided to releases the complete source code of the project on Github. Although the files sporadicly include copyright notices, which expressly prohibit the transfer of the source code, according to Frieden the complete source code is under the Mozilla Public License. If you change it, you are asked to add it to the original Github archive. Please contact Thomas Frieden.
