Benchmarks: AmigaOne X1000 compared with other PPC-hardware (Update)
The first benchmarks of the AmigaOne X1000 have been posted on various forums (sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The following graphics were created by MorphOS developer Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, used here with kind permission from Mr. Sintonen.
LAME
With the MP3 encoder LAME the file AKsack.wav was converted into the MP3 format without using any parameters. All systems used LAME builds with Altivec support. The value for the X1000 was confirmed by OS4-developer Hans de Ruiter.
Blender
With the raytracer Blender the included example bricks_and_water_plugin.blend was rendered with the following command line:
blender_binary -b projects/bricks_and_water_plugin.blend -o ram:pool -F JPEG -f 0
The value for the X1000 was reported by AmigaOne tester sundown, the value for the Sam440ep by the developer who ported Blender to AmigaOS 4, Andy "broadblues" Broad.
MPlayer: H264-decoding
With the MorphOS MPlayer (and the corresponding AmigaOS 4 port MUI-Mplayer) and the parameters specified below the graphic the H264-encoded video file prometheus-trailer.zip was decoded without showing the result on the screen. The value for the X1000 was reported by X1000-tester Stephen "stevieu" Umney.
dnetc
Using the distributed.net client, keys for the OGR-NG and RC5-72 projects were calculated (source). All Systems are using the Altivec unit of their processor for these tests - with the exception of the Sam460, which doesn't have Altivec.
Copying file
A 46 Mb file (AKsack.wav) was copied from one partition to another and then from a partition to the Ram Disk. The results of this test are affected by many external factors like the filesystem used or the mass storage device the partitions reside on. The value for the X1000 was reported by X1000 owner Mufa.
RageMem
The benchmark tool RageMem tests the access time for various memory types. Due to a missing MorphOS version, the test on a PowerMac was performed running the AmigaOS 4 build on OS4Emu:

Firefox-Port: Status-Update for Timberwolf
Thomas Frieden has published a new status update for the Firefox port "Timberwolf". He wrote:
"I haven't posted a progress report for a few weeks. This is not because there was nothing new, but the news are mostly "boring": Fixing bugs, implementing some missing features and so on.
One feature worth mentioning is that Timberwolf will now adapt to the color scheme of your workbench. That means it will use the GUI prefs colors for it's user interface drawing and this will be a big step towards making it feel more like an Amiga application.
Stay tuned for more news in the coming days."

MorphOS: 3D-Shooter "Cube 2: Sauerbraten"
Guillaume "Yomgui" Roguez has ported the 3D-Shooter Cube 2: Sauerbraten to MorphOS. The PowerSDL 14 as well as the original files of the game are required which are available on the official website.
In order to start the game in a window on a Ambient screen you have to put in the options "-t -w640 -h480" (for a 640x480 window) at the start. The author is looking for an older version of PowerSDL because v14 has some stability problems. Additionally the server was not tested and the client has still some bugs. Currently the most stable client is the RPG-client.

AROS: Bounty for adapting Zune to MUI 3.8
Neil Cafferkey has accepted the bounty project (currently donated with 1020 US-Dollar) for adapting and improving Zune. The goal is to adapt the open source clone of MUI to version 3.8 of it by adding all missing features and deleting all difference.
With this step porting software to AROS or developing cross-platform applications (AmigaOS, AROS, MorphOS) is supposed to be facilitated. Cafferkey will try to finish the project until the end of July.

AmigaOS 4: RadeonHD driver 0.32 for Sam460 / AmigaOne 500
ACube Systems has published a new version of the RadeonHD driver for PCIe- graphic boards written by Hans de Ruiter. If you did not get the update via eMail then please use the ACube-contact formular.
Bug fixes in version 0.32:
- Some R700 GPUs were locking up when compositing "large" vertex arrays. FIXED
- Screens that were larger than the display resolution were garbled. FIXED
- R500 vertex array clipping was one pixel larger than it was supposed to be (could cause the right-hand edge to spill over to the left most column of pixels). FIXED
- Fixed an R500 compositing bug that could cause corruption if one compositing operation rapidly draws directly over the previous one
- WaitTOF() and similar functions could cause the machine to lockup when called from a task with a priority >= 1. FIXED

AROS: Workbench replacement Scalos ported
Matthias Rustler has ported the Workbench replacement Scalos to AROS. Because Scalos requires DOS-packages, the port is only available for AROS-systems with the ABI-V1 binary interface.
In a statement on aros-exec.org the author explained the problems which still exists: Drag'n Drop as well as the "Lasso" for choosing several icons do not work. The AROS-icons do not look very nice because the format of the pictogramm is still not supported. Additionally the content of a directory is not listed. Then simply choose "update" from the menu list.

AROS: Patch 03 for Icaros Desktop 1.3.3
For version 1.3.3 of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop, Paolo Besser has published a new update which includes new system files as well as the latest PaperCuts.
Chganges:
- fix for commodities like FKey: they don't appear iconified on the desktop anymore
- fix for italian translation: it will now be re-enabled in Wanderer
- added iconify button to Zune windows title bar (must be enabled by user)
- fix for ICE, Icaros Classic and Icaros Blue themes to support iconify button
The following problems are known:
- Wookie Chat, PSI prefs and other programs crash on de-iconification
- InstallAROS (and maybe others) crash on iconification
- SimpleMail crashes if double-clicked on its custom AppIcon
- no fixes to problems reported with icon.library
- iconify gadget has no image in other Icaros decorations, so default "3.1" rectangle will be used

Aminet celebrates 20th anniversary
On January 16th 1992 an user called Urban Müller posted announcement of a new FTP-server to the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.misc: There not only several Amiga files could be found under amiga.physik.unizh.ch but it also is the official FTP-site for Amiga Unix. This first announcement have already included the typical upload lists.
From this little server hosted on an Amiga 3000 UX which should not be accessed "between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m." by external users so the administrators could use it for its own purposes it has become the center for Amiga software as well as the biggest software archive of the world with 34 servers and about 100 MB uploads per month.
You can find a detailed description of the history of the Aminet on Aminet-Wiki.
