AmigaOS 4: Graphic program SketchBlock 2.2
The latest version of Andy Broad's graphic program SketchBlock now can use selected areas as mask for a graphic operation. You can mark rectangles, ellipses and areas with identical colour. "It's also possible to create a selection mask from the alpha channel of a layer". Other changes:
- There now a thumbnail in the layers list
- Pixel transforms are now true plugins. Also added SaturationAdjust and GradientFill, RadialFill, and Ripples filters.
- Martin "Mason" Mertz has contributed some great new toolbar images and a splash logo. Thanks Mason!
- All (well nearly all) actions can be recorded into a macro, which can then be run or edited as needed
- Some bug fixes

A600-accelerator board Fúria EC020 finished, production started
As Boris 'Boboo' Krizma reported, the development of his accelerator board "Fúria EC020" has finished and the production was started. First boards will be delivered to users who supported the development financially.
Likely the delivery will start at the end of September. One board costs 90 Euro. The number of the boards is limited by the number of available CPUs. A MC68EC020FG25 processor is used as well as FPU MC68882FN40. The processor has 28Mhz but can be overclocked by the user up to 37,8 Mhz.
With the help of included tools "Furiatune" provided by Martin Kuchinka you can configure some of the features of the Fúria:
- Set FPU and CPU-caches on/off
- (De)activate IDE-Speedup
- ShadowROM (copy Kickstart ROM to RAM)
- MapROM (load and use ROM-images from harddrive with up to 1 MB)
- integration of additional 1,5 MB of virtual memory [probably at the expense of ShadowROM-/MapROM-functions, editor's note]
- Rebbot of the computer
- Display or reset of all Fúria-paramters
If you are interested in this board then please contact Boris Krizma via email.

Text processing: Rashumon source code offered
Under the title link Michael Haephrati who is the author of Rashumon has contacted the users because the Wikipedia entry might be deleted. Possibly Rashumon, which was written in 1989, was the first Amiga text processing software which supported multiple languages. Also, he offers the source code, if anybody is interested in developing it further.

Workbench complement: BetterWB 2.9
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench tools for AmigaOS 3.1 which are simple and require low hardware resources.
BetterWB works on all Amigas, is available as disk images and requires the original Workbench 3.1 disks (3.0 might work as well but was not tested) and 8 MB harddrive memory.
Changes:
- CAMD.library and Midiports preferences for midi supported programs
- DMS command writes and reads its floppy images from CLI
- Gzip, the very popular multiplatform compressor is now included
- LZX is yet another compressor
- PFS3 All in one (now requires less memory for usage and autodetects large drives)
- SuperPlus has been updated and no longer shows the infamuos beta warning message
- TSGUI lets you read and write adf and dms floppy images with an easy to use interface
- WBStartup preferences enables you to select the commodities you want to run when workbench loads
- New commodities: DontShowIBorder (removes icon borders), ModePro (screen promotion) and MagicMenu (flying menus)
- Printfiles tool has been updated with plenty of features and an arexx port
- TagLiFE is a simple patch for the utility.library to install a
new set of optimized assembler routines to get a faster TagList support
- Now boot in CLI mode with maximum ram to run memory demanding games and demos by booting without startup sequence and running add44k from CLI
- Text datatype was rolled back, due to printing bugs
- Lha can now adequately work under low memory condition
- Boards.library allows proper identification of Amiga hardware
- WhichAmiga replaces showconfig, as it has plenty more features
- PatchWB solves many workbench bugs
- Many minor tweaks and bugfixes
