MorphOS: IceFileSystem 2.10
IceFS is a 64-bit filesystem for MorphOS which among others works with checksums for all meta data as well as meta-level-journallin and (based on powers of two) supports almost every sector size. Changes in version 2.10:
- Blocksize can be selected from formatting application now (Needs FSFormat)
- FSFormat no longer uses subvalidate.library. It can be safely removed.
- Some extra checks added in filesystem
- Reworked device io layer a bit to allow asynchronus writes
- Fileimages work with non standard blocksizes now

A-EON: Voting on name of the next AmigaOne generation
Press release: Cardiff 2013, 21st October 2013
Following our announcement at Ami-West that we are developing the "Cyrus Plus" motherboard, which could spawn three new AmigaONE models, we carried out a straw poll on possible naming options for the new machines. The AmiWest audience voted on the four naming groups included in items 1 to 4 in the table below. The result was evenly split between groups 3 and 4, with groups 1 and 2 receiving zero votes.
However, since the announcement we have received numerous emails, either agreeing or suggesting alternative naming schemes. As a result of this feedback we are now opening the poll to the wider Amiga community. Eight additional naming groups have been included which reflect the most popular naming options suggested. So here is your chance to help select the names for the new "Cyrus Plus" AmigaONE systems.
If you would like to help shape the AmigaONE's future please select your first and second choices and email your vote to contact@a-eon.com
with "Cyrus Plus name" in the subject line.

Busboard: Mediator for A3000 in desktop case can be preordered
In September, Elbox announced a version of the Mediator-PCI-busboard which only has three PCI and Zorro II/II slots - but instead of that it is built in a desktop case of an Amiga 3000 and for the first time is compatible to version 2.2 of the PCI-standard.
From now on the "Mediator 3000Di" can be preordered but Elbox did not mention a delivery date.

Event: First reports of AmiWest 2013 (Update)
There are some first reports of the AmiWest which is taking place in Sacramento, California this weekend. According to them:
- it was again confirmed that there will not be a laptop for AmigaOS 4
- A-EON Technology has invested 1,2 million in new systems
- which probably will be available at the end of 2014: AmigaOne 3041, 5020, 5040; Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden can already run AmigaOS 4 on the Cyrus-board
- the beta test of the Cyrus boards will start at the begining of the next year, 50 testers are required
- the first production will begin with 500 boards 6 months after the beta tests were started; batches of 300-500 pieces are planned
- the Cyrus board will be available separately to allow international customers an inexpensive access to A-EON-systems; this is also planned for the Nemo board of the AmigaOne X1000
- additional to Alinea Computer in Germany, A-EON is looking for a distributor in USA
- the Ethernet driver for the Onboard-port of the AmigaOne X1000 is currently beta tested and Trevor Dickinson is already using it instead of a PCI-board
- a new AmigaOS-4-kernel is currently tested, called the X-Kernel, which features multicore-support
- the port of LibreOffice is developed further: Soon a beta test programm will be started
- for Amiga computers a new soundcard will be available, which can be connected via the Zorro-slot or the clockport and which can play most of the audio formats; Michael Böhmer (E3B) is developing it, Ian Gledhill is writing the driver and the user-interface is written by Matthew Leaman; originally it should be called Prism but with regard to the spying programm it will be renamed
Update: (09:07, 20.10.13, snx)
Meanwhile further information is available directly from the A-EON Technology website. Furthermore, the information at the title link has been extended and the video of Trevor Dickinson's presentation has been uploaded. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Amiga-Emulator: WinFellow 0.5.2
A new version of the Windows-based Amiga-emulator "WinFellow" has been released. The most important changes of this update:
- new display configuration options for setting scale factor (1x and 2x, retaining a proper aspect ratio), and scaling strategy (solid/scanline); inclusion of higher screen resolutions to allow use of 2x windowed modes
- support for 2x mode in Amiga Forever
- support for model presets to quickly get started setting up model specific configurations (a number of presets is already included)
- automatic interlace compensation (WinFellow will automatically detect interlaced graphics and perform interlace compensation; this can be disabled in various options, but is on by default for new configurations)
- lower system requirements (an SSE capable processor is no longer required)
- Windows 8.1 added to the supported operating systems
Additionally the following bugs have been fixed:
- re-initialize the emulation session when a change of display adapter properties (color depth, different graphics adapter) is detected
- cancelling the configuration dialog no longer performs changes to the configuration
- support for sprites in hires dual playfield mode was fixed, making previously invisible objects visible on the screen
- sprite DMA was being disabled instead of waiting, causing invisible sprites
- PC -2 saved on the stack for address exception
- proper "short frame" when display is interlaced and frame is short
- fix copper list load
- failure to find valid screen mode for screens with unusual refresh rates (Microsoft VirtualPC, ...)
- fixes for several crashes to desktop caused by NULL pointer exceptions
- cancelling an undo dialog in Amiga Forever will no longer close the emulation session
- reset of Amiga Forever emulation session no longer causes input devices to no longer function
- fixed problem with Amiga Forever clipping calculations for left offsets <16 (would lead to only half the screen being visible) or one of the offset values = 0 (would ignore the offsets completely)

Alinea Computer becomes X1000-distributor (update)
According to Trevor Dickinson of A-EON in his latest Blog, the PPC-computers "AmigaOne X1000" will be sold by the German trader Alinea Computer. In the Internet-shop of the company the X1000 is not listed so far. All interested users are to contact Alinea via eMail.
Additional to the well-known complete systems with preinstalled AmigaOS 4.1 there also is a dualboot-option with an installed Linux. We do not have information about prices yet. According to unconfirmed information the former distributor Amigakit listed a X1000 complete system with about 3100 Euro.
Update: (16.10.13, 14:30, cg)
In an article on a1k.org, Simon "AmigaPapst" Neumann from Alinea explained that the exact price depends on the used components - he expects a price of "about 2800 Euro". (cg) (Translation: dr)

Workbench complement: BetterWB 3.1
Today version 3.1 of the Workbench complement BetterWB has been released. Additional to some minor bug fixes and improvements, the update includes the commodity WinToFront (replaces ClickToFront) as well as format64 which can format bigger harddrives.
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench tools for AmigaOS 3.1 which requires low resources. BetterWB may be used by "purists that believe anything beyond 3.1 is an overbloated piece of crap, low end Amiga computers and Minimig users, that are restricted to a 68000 processor".
BetterWB works with any Amiga and is provided as disk images. Additional to the original disks of Workbench 3.1 (3.0 may be sufficient but was not tested) 8 MB harddrive memory are required.

Tracker: DigiBooster 3 Beta 26
Press release: The beta version 26 of DigiBooster 3 for Amiga/68k, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS has been published online. Since it is probably one of the last beta versions before the final release, we invite every user to test and report the version as detailed as possible and write all bug reports directly to the DigiBooster support forum.
Beta version 26 of DigiBooster 3 has all the key features in place and will be the basis of the public release of the program planned in 2014. Major features added since latest public beta 22 are:
- DSP echo engine, already demonstrated in DigiRoller. The echo is
fully compatible with DigiBooster 2.x, but this time it does not
depend on AHI settings, so it is always processed. Additionally new
effects V20 and V21 allow for independent echo parameters for each
single track
- Phase augmented stereo panorama. This has been demonstrated in
DigiRoller as well. Small phase shifts added when setting stereo
panorama improve sound positioning and overall sound space experience
- New envelope editor. Unlike DigiBooster 2.x, it is embedded in the
main window, so it is much larger and shows both volume and panning
envelopes on one diagram, so it is easier to design combined effects.
Diagram width is adjustable, so editing short envelopes is now easier
- Mixer (module renderer). AHI independent, allows for mixing
frequencies from 8 kHz to 192 kHz. Full 24-bit output available,
writes WAVE or AIFF files. Volume boost up to 48 dB (with hard
limiter) with optional autoboost calculation. Works in the background
on separate process
- 24 more fully documented ARexx commands
- Implemented missing E40 effect, fixes in Gxx effect
- Numerous small fixes and improvements, listed in the change log
