Already today the preview of the Amiga Future issue 58 (January/February 2006) has gone online.

In this isue there are all articles for all sectors included again.

We have tested Desert Racing for the classic Amiga, Blobwars for AmigaOS 4 and Virtual GP for MorphOS.

David Holm (dholm) has released the source code needed for writing your own bootable kernel on the Pegasos. This includes the mysterious CrabOS and a bootloader. Everything is released under a BSD-style license. You are free to modify it in any way you want.

David also gives you links to various information sources. Everything is in a new topic over at PPCZone Forum.

Around this time of year, every year, there is a a special GoldED x-mas promotion. It's usually about selling the latest and greatest version at a ridiculously low price to gifted developers. But this year, it will be a bit different:

Sponsor a development package for a developer!

That's right: purchase a state-of-the-art Cubic IDE development package not for yourself but for somebody else. At a ridiculously low price, of course. Make another Amiga/MorphOS developer happy and give him a brand new development package as recognition for good work done. If you are not familiar with creating software and can't program for toffee, sending a development kit to a gifted programmer might be the next best thing to writing software.

After months and months of hard, relentless and tenacious negotiations with Computer Corner and 1 day of porting, #amigazeux and iti are proud to present Diavolo Backup - your favourite Backup-utility from the 90s - in MorphOS native flavour.

Heinz M. of #amigazeux commented: "From backing up to tape streamers over other devices and even files everything is possible. I like the boss of the 2nd level most!"

This action packed backup program with GUI elements offers everything the spoiled amiga user needs when he feels bored and is in pressing need to create backups of his most precious data.

One of the best features of this exciting backup program experience with its long lasting appeal is that it doesn't come in any pre-release version. The version you will download is full and free.

Download is available here.
