Operation Backstab appears to still be in development rather than released. via amiga-news.de
A new puzzle game called Witch Jam has been released for the Amiga. Players collect eyeballs falling into a jam jar, and when two identical eyeballs collide they merge into a larger one, similar in concept to merge-style puzzle games. The aim is to score as many points as possible before the jar fills up, which ends the game. via amiga-news.de
AmiWordle 2.0 has been released for the Amiga, a homebrew recreation of the popular word puzzle game Wordle written in Blitz Basic. It supports German, English and French word lists, and lets players pre-assign known letters to help narrow down the solution by clicking a tile or using the cursor keys. The update is not compatible with high-score lists saved by previous versions of the game. via amiga-news.de
Andreas Falkenhahn has released version 5.2 of his Hollywood APK Compiler. The update's main change allows users to disable compression, which improves performance.

Manfred Bergmann has released version 0.12 of AmiLisp, a Common Lisp implementation for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS formerly known as CL-Amiga. The update introduces a new garbage collector architecture with an abstracted interface and adds the Immix collector, which runs on both AmigaOS and MorphOS and is described as significantly faster than its predecessor in most situations. The release also improves Clamacs, AmiLisp's bundled editor and IDE, adding project support so that groups of windows and buffers can be opened or closed together when switching between projects, a feature similar to Emacs perspectives. Multiple cursor support has also been added to the editor. via amiga-news.de
Marcus Gerards has released version 3.2 of the PrismaNG driver and tools package for the Prisma Megamix, an Amiga expansion card for the Zorro II slot or clock port that offloads decoding of compressed audio formats such as MP2, MP3, WMA and OGG from the host CPU. The update adds a long-awaited AHI driver, though it is noted as not suitable for every use since the card's vs1063a chip is a DSP tied to compressed formats, along with a benchmark tool to help find suitable modes. CPU usage is reported at 15 to 25 percent on Zorro machines, with higher usage on clock port setups. The PrismaPlay tool also gains support for streaming internet radio and recordings, plus an ARexx interface. via amiga-news.de
Christian Foltin has released version 1.1 of Avibe Coder, a development environment for AmigaOS 4.1. It combines an editor, project management, build tools, debugging and reference material within a single MUI window. The software is written in C specifically for the Amiga and offers a choice of German or English user interface. A full feature list is available on the project's page. via amiga-news.de
A new point-and-click adventure called Bibula has been released for the Amiga. The game is set in Poland in 1982 during martial law, casting the player as a university student expelled from their studies after their grandfather's arrest for opposition activity. The task is to work with allies to write and distribute an underground newspaper, known as a bibula. It requires at least an Amiga 500 with 1 MB of RAM to run. via amiga-news.de
Tomasz Paul has released version 0.4.2a of piAROS, a pre-built distribution that runs the 64-bit version of AROS on Raspberry Pi hardware. It supports the Raspberry Pi 3, 4/400, 5/500 and 500+ models. This build is based on the AArch64 nightly build of AROS from November 2, 2026. AROS is an open source reimplementation of the AmigaOS APIs, allowing Amiga-style software to run on modern hardware. via amiga-news.de
Amigadex has launched as a free search engine covering the Amiga community across AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS, as well as both classic hardware and emulation. A single search field covers news sites, blogs, forum threads and release feeds such as Aminet, OS4Depot, WHDLoad and AROS Archives, along with more than 5,000 open-source projects hosted on GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg. Each result links back to the original source. The tool is aimed particularly at developers, letting them check for existing similar projects before starting new work, and includes an "Overlaps" feature that groups related project families together. via amiga-news.de
The amigazen project has released a 3.5.3 beta of Voyager, the AmigaOS web browser originally developed by David Gerber and the late Oliver Wagner. Gerber released the browser's source code under the GPL nine years ago, and this update focuses on getting it to compile cleanly and fixing bugs. New features include HTTPS support via AmiSSL or the bundled AmiTLS, completed printing functionality covering dialogs, menus, ARexx and TurboPrint, and mapping of UTF-8 HTML content onto the OS3 Latin-1 character set. The default User-Agent is now set to Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7. via amiga-news.de
Developer BrokenBytes has released an Amiga port of Fix-It Felix Jr, the fictional 1982 arcade game featured in Disney's Wreck-It Ralph film.

It recreates the original concept of repairing windows with a hammer while avoiding the villain Ralph. via indieretronews.com
