MorphOS: First beta version of new printing system
Michal 'zukow' Zukowski is working on a port of parts of the CUPS-infrastructure for MorphOS, financed by a bounty. Meanwhile a first, very early beta version is available, which according to the author "sends tons of debug and can crash". Color profiles are not supported in this version.
Zukowski tries to port single CUPS printer driver (called "filter") to MorphOS and then to integrate them to the system. A preferences programm is included as well.
Currently Zukowski provides onyl drivers for Postscript-printer. In contrast to the MorphOS built-in system, his system supports diverse comfort and special functions of the connected devices (e.g. number of copies, scaling and desired printing quality etc.).

X1000: Linux-Kernel 3.11 and a new version of openSUSE 12.3
Darren Stevens made available version 3.11 of the Linux kernel for the AmigaOne X1000 (download site), which better supports power save modes of modern RadeonHD graphic chips and possibly can handle network packages faster.
Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky has released the new archive openSUSE 12.3 for the X1000. The sound support (SigmaTel STAC92HD700) was added. Besides, now there is a separate directory for the 3.9.8.1SuSE kernel modules.

AmigaOS 4: File manager Dir Me Up 2.10
Jérôme 'Glames' Senay has updated his commercial file manager for AmigaOS 4.1, Dir Me Up, to version 2.10. The most important changes:
- Display "toast" messages for cut/copy/paste/deletion processes
- During the copy process, the path is shown in the first progess bar and the file in the second one
- You can now change the selected types of volumes and volumes from the keyboard
- When only a single file/drawer is archived, it provides a default archive name
- In the view by icon, icons are now displayed correctly, including files
- Fixed a display bug that occurred if the loading/resizing of an icon failed. This could result in huge lines or columns
- If a bookmark no longer exists, a message is displayed before deleting it automatically
- Updated Greek and Italian translation

AROS complete system AresOne (late 2013) and Ares Cube S available
According to Pascal Papara, the AROS-computers "ARES mini M1000" and M1600 are not available any longer. They were replaced by the ARES Cube S and the "new" AresOne. The date will no longer be part of the name, "late 2013" was only added for "marking" the new version.
The AresOne now has a faster processor and integrated WiFi, supported by AROS. A Gallium-compatible graphic board is standard.
Because Broadway and AEROS r4 are still in progress, IcAROS desktop is installed. Special wishes can be discussed before ordering it.

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
