Controlling Arduino systems: Hollywood LCARS Connect
Achim Kern is working on a Hollywood programm for controlling Arduino systems (video). It can be communicated with the Arduino Yun, the pcDuino and the Iteaduino as well as with the Raspberry Pi.
The system can access connected sensors, e.g. for humidity, temperature, light or motion and process these values or sned them to a website. Additionally the individual pins and thus e.g. relais of devices can be connected.
The Philips Hue Light system was recently added. The software can access the bridge and turn on or off all available lamps and can choose the colours. The motion detector also is connected with the Light System. If an intruder is noticed, an alert ("Red Alert") alarm is triggered.
According to the author, Hollywood LCARS Connect is still in progress. A beta version for connecting the Amiga to the Yun-Board and the Hue-System is planned. For combining hardware and software,he has to write an tutorial because it is very complex.

AmigaOS 4: Audio-Player AmigaAMP 3.13
Thomas Wenzel has updated his music play programm AmigaAMP. In version 3.13 several minor bugs were fixed:
- Fixed some more playlist/directory handling bugs
- Fixed cover drawing and uniconifying of tag editor window
- Added pattern matching filter to modplug loader
- "Autoplay file" now also works for dragging files on the playlist window
- Dragging directories on AmigaAMP's AmiDock icon now works
- Switched play list handling to saving and loading WinAMP style .pls files
- Revised window depth arrangement and alignment code
- Updated WinAMP5 skin
- Use mouse wheel in equalizer window to move sliders
- Fixed clearing of comment field when opening MP3 file without comment
- Fixed format display in main ReAction window
- Fixed initial playlist display in ReAction window
- Renamed info win to just "Info" because it can't edit tags any more
Important: This new version doesn't load plain text files as playlists any more when using the normal Eject/Open/Drag'n'drop functions. I've you've built your own playlists and want to continue using them then load them via Load List in the playlist window and save them again. They will be automatically converted.
This is to prevent the following bug: If under AmigaAMP 3.12 and earlier a complete directory with all files in it was opened, and a text file is there as well, by mistake it is loaded as playlist. This causes much trouble. In the latest version this cannot happen any longer.

Linux: Kernel 3.10.0 for Eyetech AmigaOne, Sam460 support canceled (update)
Users of an Eyetech AmigaOne can also access a Linux-Kernel: Already in August on Sourceforge a port of Linux 3.10.0 for the AmigaOne XE with G3 or G4CPU was released.
Now 'Spectre660', who was responsible for adapting the kernels to Sam460, stated that he will not continue that. Obviously his Sam460 is damaged and because furthermore some AmigaOS4-users in the official Hyperion forum are angry about the many Linux-News, he is lacking in motivation to keep on investing time or money for the Linux support.
Update: (27.01.2014, 14:30, cg)
Obviously ACube offered to replace the damaged Sam460 and thus to put Spectre660 in the position to provide further updates of the Linux-kernel. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: MUI-port has to be registered (Update)
According to some posts, since the last update the MUI4-version of AmigaOS 4 requires to register. The authors of the port could not contact the original developer, Stefan Stuntz. Therefore they first offered MUI4 with a keyfile.
Meanwhile Stefan Stuntz, who still is active member of the MorphOS-team answered and claimed the rights to MUI. If you already have a valid MUI-key you can use it with MUI4.
Update: (12:06, 22.01.13, snx)
As mentioned by one of the authors of the AmigaOS 4 port in our german thread of comments, the previous version of MUI4 did not include a keyfile. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Project Synergy: App-Store for all Amiga systems
In November, Pascal Papara announced an App-Store which currently is in beta test. He wrote:
"Developers already can register and provide feedback.
Pleasenote: It does not become a Web frontstore! The Web interface is meant for developers/content creators (music, books, magazines, films, demos).
Customers will access via client applications and will not via the browser. The API will be documented and in future third-party-developers can create other clients.
A referral-system will be made available, thus distributions can benefit from the proceeds. Via the referral-system, 3rd-party-webstores can access the store via API.
The virtual currency is used mainly for supporting Amiga-related projects. Additionally, traders can join in. The user beta test will start as soon as possible.
Similar to Apple's App-Store, our client will provide future system updates for AROS-Broadway and AEROS."

AmigaOS 4/AROS: Anniversary special edition of arcade game "Boh"
On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the arcade game Boh, the author has released a "special edition" on CD which provides some improvements:
- includes all the updates released previously
- reworks the video modes handling (full screen by default; window on 16-bit screens allowed; more robust; etc.)
- adds the CRT and LCD pixel modes
- adds the 5x zoom
- adds 5 new missions, bringing the total to a massive 60
- assigns the pause to the [ESCAPE] key (instead of a specific key), which thus no longer causes the immediate abort of the current mission
- reworks the menu controls (more keys; do not depend anymore on the in-game controls configuration)
- adds the emergency configuration reset (assigned to the key [F12])
- adds the screenshot functionality (assigned to the key [PRINT])
- makes quitting by means of [ALT]+[F4] available on all platforms
- sets the default URL for records submission to www.retream.com/BOH (it is no longer necessary to specify such URL manually in the configuration file)
- replaces the copy code with an email address for the records submission
- updates the manuals
- applies many other optimizations/changes/fixes, for more performance, polish and robustness
The CD includes versions for AmigaOS 4, AROS, Linux, MacOS and Windows and provides an installation programm which installs the latest version or can update an existing version as well as the complete soundtrack and high-resolution images of the DVD-covers.
A demo version of the "special edition" for diverse systems is available on the website of the game.

Enhanced emergency disk for AmigaOS 3.9
Soon an update for the bootdisk-creator Amiga 911 Maker will be released which can create an enhanced version of an emergency disk for AmigaOS 3.9. As a little preview the author has made available some versions of his "Emergency Disk II":
The new emergency disk should work on all A600/A1200 with at least 6 MB RAM. Additional to the option to boot with a disk, then to integrate a CD-ROM drive and accessing the OS 3.9-CD, the Emergency Disk II supports further options to boot or install the system :
- You can use an AmigaOS 3.9 ISO image which can be present on any drive that gets mounted on startup
- You can also use an external USB CD-ROM drive
- you can make a AmigaOS 3.9 USB pendrive or a Compact Flash card to be used with a CF-PCMCIA adapter
Due to legal reasons the disk does not include all necessary files - they have to be imported with the tool "Activate E-Disk-II" from an existing AmigaOS CD or installation.

AROS: Nano VM 3.2.1
Stefan Pietzonke has released version 3.2.1-2 of his virtual maschine Nano (amiga-news.de reported). Unter AROS/i386, the JIT-compiler of Nano is switched off because the author thinks of it as a cause of trouble.
"The new rights management makes it possible to run programs in sandbox mode." (have a look under the title link)
