Promotion video: Tanks Furry is (also) commercially distributed
In "Tanks Furry" you have to destroy the opponent's tanks before they can destroy your base - at the beginning of December, a playable demo was released. Now the developers have published a very professional promotion video and have pointed out, that the game will be not only distributed as free download, but also on CD in a DVD-case.
Tanks Furry offers a single and a two player mode and requires an Amiga with 68020-processor and at least 1 MB RAM. The game will be probably released in Februar. The commercial game will be distributed with a 12-page manual as well as with stickers, so you can create "original disks".

Web Browser: Github-Repository for Odyssey
Against a payment of 7500 Euro, in January 2014 Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly released the source code of his web browser Odyssey. After the release of an AmigaOS 4 port, for some months the available AROS port provided by Krzysztof 'Deadwood' Śmiechowicz is the only one which is currenty developed further.
On Github, the programmer has published the source code of his Odyssey port and has invited all Amiga developers to join the work. He is willing to introduce the code base and the developing process to unexperienced programmers. If you are interested in, then please contact him via eMail.
The archive on Github includes the latest version 1.25 which is based on Coeurjoly's latest release Odyssey 1.24 and provides the following improvements:
- uses directly the Webkit engine - the Orygin layer is no longer required - which makes it easier to use Webkit updates
- uses WebKit revision 187682 (from end of July)
- Source code and build configuration are prepared for the development of several (Amiga) destination platforms

Tracker: Symphonie Pro can be compiled again
Patrick Meng's tracker Symphonie Pro supports 256 physical audio channels, a 16-Bit software DSP as well as 16-Bit samples. Originally the pro-version of the programm was distributed for 120 D-Mark and eight years ago it was made available with its source codes on Aminet.
It turned out that the source code was incomplete, but now the missing parts could be filled. Under the title link on GitHub the completed source code as well as the programm are available, all programmers who are going to develop the programm further are very welcome.

Hyperion: AmigaOS 3.1 source code leak - official statement
Press release: Brussels, January 5, 2016 -
Hyperion Entertainment wishes a happy New Year 2016 everybody!
The days between last Christmas and New Year were actually clouded by the sad fact that the source code of AmigaOS 3.1 and additional content dating back to 1994 was published and widely spread without permission of the rights-holder. Note that no code of AmigaOS 4.x was released or distributed.
Hyperion Entertainment holds an exclusive, world-wide, perpetual source-code license to the intellectual property of AmigaOS 3.1 and additional content as documented in the publicly available settlement agreement between Hyperion Entertainment and Amiga, Inc. which has taken the form of a stipulated judgement.
Based on this license AmigaOS 4.x development was started in 2001 by Hyperion Entertainment using the AmigaOS 3.1 code as a basis and as the direct successor of what Commodore left behind in 1994. AmigaOS 4.x is an actively developed product on sale and still incorporates a substantial amount of AmigaOS 3.1 code.
While this would be already more than enough of a reason to care about the unauthorised disclosure and distribution, it is also the very same settlement agreement which made all of this possible in the first place, which contractually requires Hyperion to enforce and protect any intellectual property rights associated with AmigaOS including the AmigaOS 3.1 source-code.
This entails that Hyperion Entertainment will examine all possible legal action against any unauthorised source of or use of this material it is aware of. All of this leads up to the reason why we "make such a fuss" about code which is more than 20 years old by now. While the original leak seems to stem from someone outside of the active community, it is even more sad to see quite some of the remaining active users happily participate in distributing this unauthorised copy, compromising years of development work and all possible future versions of AmigaOS and therefore biting the hand that feeds them against all common sense and in blatant violation of copyright.
Having said that, our most special thanks go to all loyal customers, user groups, dealers, partners and all others who showed and continue to show their support to us. You are the reason why AmigaOS still exists, why it remains under active development and why we care.
Thank you,
on behalf of Hyperion Entertainment, all associated developers, translators and testers.

MUI für AmigaOS with licensing issues (Update)
In December 2014 it was revealed that the MUI distribution "MUI for AmigaOS" contained API documentation that had been copied from the MorphOS SDK without acquiring a proper license first. During the following discussion, both developers of "MUI for AmigaOS" - Jens "damato" Maus und Thore "tboeckel" Böckelmann - apologized for their mistake.
When the latest update of the distribution was discussed on amiga-news.de today, Christian 'Tokai' Rosentreter issued another statement (German) claiming that the developer documentation inside the archive still contained large parts copied verbatim from the MorphOS SDK. After a short conversation with Rosentreter and an indepth look at two of the files listed by him, we found evidence (German) that suggests his allegations are true.
After discussing our findings with Maus and Böckelmann, amiga-news.de decided to stop covering any future versions of "MUI for AmigaOS" until the documentation in question has been rewritten from scratch.
Update: (03.01.2016, 21:00, cg)
Replaced the original news item about the latest update to "MUI for AmigaOS" with an explanation of the licensing issues. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.8.3
Already in March, version 0.8.3 of the Scripted Amiga Emulator was made available, which was originally released more than three years ago.
Rupert Hausberger's Scripted Amiga Emulator was written in Javascript and and should run with all modern web browsers, but is highly recommended for Chrome.
Changes in version 0.8.3:
- Audio
- Fixed a heavy bug i added myself around v0.6-0.7 on the seek for other bugs. Big thanks to 'Ralf Sommer'
- Dropped usage of the ring-buffer and wrote a new and faster queue-buffer
- The audio-data is now first sampled at 15.65KHz and then resampled to the rate of the soundcard. This does reduce internal CPU-usage
- Removed 'Audio/Samplerate' in the GUI, because it's no longer used
- Events
- Fixed a bug in combination with frameskip
- Frameskip is now disabled by default
- Common
- Updated AROS-ROMs to actual version SVN50213

Jump'n Run: Final version of "Zerosphere"
In "Zerosphere" (Youtube video) the surrounding area of the player is highly blurred. Only if the player "blinks" by pushing the fire button of the joystick, it is possible to see the real dimension.
In August a pre-version was released. Now at the demo party "Under Construction", the final version of the game has been released which according to the author provides "lot of bug fixing and new features".

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 18.2 now Freeware
Using WHDLoad you can install games, scene demos and intros from cracking groups to your harddisk that were only working from floppy disks previously. Version 18.2 now is Freeware. It is no longer required or possible to register the programm:
- the WHDLoad install script speaks german now
- some small fixes in the Autodoc file (Psygore)
- small fix in the supplied ITD program to avoid problems while detecting the destination device
- RoadShow added to the example Startup/Cleanup scripts
- dumping of loaded files via resload_DiskLoad was broken
- due to small internal buffer the argument parsing when started from the CLI did not detect a bad argument (Psygore)
- the blitter wait check (ChkBlitWait/S) now resets the internal run flag also at word reads to dmaconr on the 68030, previously only bytes did that (StingRay)
- WHDLoad no longer requests a keyfile and it is no longer possible to register WHDLoad, if you have a keyfile it is still loaded/checked and your name will be displayed in the splash window, Thanks to all registered users!

Ralph Schmidt: Amiga Forever contains unlicensed copies of the Cyberstorm ROMs
The emulator distribution Amiga Forever 2016, released in November, contains images of the CyberstormPPC ROMs to simplify the installation of AmigaOS 4 for the end user. As this fact was not mentioned in the official press releases, it only became known when the download edition of OS4 Classic was discussed on amiga-news.de. During said discussion Ralph Schmidt, author of the ROMs in question, issued a statement (German) regarding the legal status of his work included with Amiga Forever.
In both his comment and a mail exchange with amiga-news.de staff, Schmidt states that Cloanto does not have a licence to distribute complete ROMs. He points out that official Flash updates are still legally available from Aminet amongst other places. When approached by us, Michael Battilana from Cloanto rejected Schmidt's claim and stressed repeatedly that he's still convinced he owns a valid licence for distributing the files.
Cloanto provided amiga-news.de staff with excerpts from the mail exchange between Battilana and Schmidt from 2014. A short look at the statements from both parties in these mails suggests that a simple misunderstanding is the cause of the problem, but neither party was interested in discussing details.
Ralph Schmidt explains that he will not take any legal steps, since that "wouldn't make any sense". If and how Cloanto will react to this situation is currently not known to us. (cg)

Amiga Forever: Alleged SFS problem turned out to be user error
In our reports about version 2016 of the emulation package Amiga Forever a problem was mentioned when using the Smart File System that had been reported by some users on the forums and was also observed in the tests for amiga-news.de.
Thanks to the extensive support of Cloanto, trying to solve the alleged problem, it turned out once more that the real error quite often is located between keyboard and chair. In addition to the installation guides for the emulator, one must not forget to follow the official booklet of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition as well to make sure that the 68k version of SFS from the CD's L: directory is used.

PCI-Busboards: Mediator PCI 1200 TX Black and Mediator PCI 4000 Di Black
In a press release Elbox has announced that two new versions of the Mediator 1200 TX and Mediator 4000 Di will be available from December 21st on. The solder mask of both editions is black, therefore the producer calls it the "Black Edition".
The version 1200 TX has six PCI-slots and a red LED which indicates when PCI cards cannot be removed or inserted. The Mediator 4000 Di is meant for A4000 computers in the desktop case, has four PCI 2.2 slots (which also support 3.3-Volt boards) and four Zorro II/III-slots ("one of them used by the Mediator 4000 Core Logic card").

Cloanto: AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Classic available for download
Since version 2016, the emulation package Amiga Forever also supports the emulation of an Amiga 4000 with CyberstormPPC accelerator board. In order to install AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition "classic" to Amiga Forever, the operating system had to be bought as CD.
Starting today, Cloanto offers it online for download. The download includes an ISO and an ADF file (CD and boot disk), artwork for the DVD cover and the CD, a PDF file and the serial number.

Amiga Forever: Version 2016.0.22.0 (2nd Update)
Since today, an update to version 2016.0.22.0 of the emulation package Amiga Forever is available. As usual, existing installations can be updated using the Software Director.
New, besides other enhancements, is an easier installation process for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition, since it is possible now to directly boot from CD, so that the Bootdisk ADF is no longer needed. Accordingly, Cloanto's installation guide at the title link has been updated as well.
The problem mentioned in our previous news-item - i.e. that on some systems a hard reset or restarting the whole emulation leads to a Guru Meditation when booting from the harddisk image file - persists, though. On the other hand in our tests we could now narrow down the cause to be the Smart File System. Thus, taken together, we recommend the following installation procedure for AmigaOS 4:
- In Amiga Forever, under "Systems", choose the configuration "Amiga 4000 PPC" by clicking with the right mouse button and "Create Copy" of the configuration file.
- Now choose "Edit" the same way for the copied configuration file. In the Media tab you can "Add" the ISO file of your AmigaOS 4 Final Edition Classic CD to the "Disks". While doing so, for performance reasons you may want to set the cycle button to "external", since embedding would result in an incorporation of the CD into your RP9 configuration file. For the same reason the preconfigured harddisk file (HDF) can be changed to "external" as well by editing it.
- In the configuration tab, for the network card specify an RTL 8029 device.
- Now you can start the emulation by double-clicking the configuration file. Shortly after, the installation menu of AmigaOS 4.1 will appear.
- At first you can set your local keyboard language and time zone.
- Afterwards you can start the actual installation of AmigaOS 4. Once you get the chance there to format your HDF, do so by entering a name for the drive and choosing "Quickformat".
- Continuing the installation process, you can keep the preset options except for adjusting the graphics card ("Picasso IV") and your monitor settings.
- Before closing the installation window by clicking "finish", you have to eject the ISO file using the corresponding icon below the window. Afterwards, the emulated PowerPC Amiga will be reset automatically (if not, you can do so yourself by pressing the key combination Ctrl-Win-Win) and boot from the HDF. Once booting from harddisk has been finished, you can install some optional programs from CD.
- After exiting the emulation, you should edit your configuration file again to remove the ISO file from the Media tab.
Update: (21:02, 15.12.15, snx)
Cloanto meanwhile has adjusted the installation guide as well with regard to the file system - thus we recommend our readers to follow the more detailed instructions at the title link.
2nd Update: (19:46, 17.12.15, snx)
The alleged SFS problem turned out to be a user error meanwhile. (snx)

Bounty: Enhancing "Workbook" to real Workbench 3.1-clone
"Workbook" is the minimalist Workbench-clone for AROS 68k. Due to the limited usage of this solution, Olaf Schönweiß has established a bounty for enhancing it to functionality of the original Workbench 3.1.
The following requirements have to be fulfill to complete the bounty:
- Support standard AmigaOS3.1 .info files
- Manually position & snapshot / unsnapshot icons and windows
- Drag & drop icons to copy / move (the icon being moved must be shown below the mouse pointer while dragging occurs)
- Make new directories
- Delete files & directories
- Rename files & directories
- View / edit file information / tooltypes
- Leave out / put away
- Make Show All Files / Show Only Icons work as per description
The required functionality has to be available in the ROM version of Workbook, "that is booting a disk only containing the LoadWB command will allow usage of Workbook with these functionalities."
Additionaly the following functionalities can be added at the discretion of the developer but are not required:
- Support for the Tool menu
- List-view mode (view + manage files as in icon mode)

Video: Egoshooter on an Amiga with "SharkPPC"
With their project SonnetAmiga, the Polish developers of Sakura IT (available products: PCMCIA-SRAM-card, external disk drive) has put into practice the idea of a PowerPC exzension for Mediator-PCI-boards, which originally Elbox was going to.
Under the title link Quake II runs on such an Amiga equipped with a Sonnet-7200-card. To the SonnetAmiga project mainly belongs the sonnet.library, which is supposed to be API- and ABI-compatible with the powerpc.library of WarpOS. Because the project still is in development, there are only limited features so far. An Amiga 3000/4000 (T) as well as a Voodoo 3 or Radeon-92xx graphic board are required .
