MicroPython (dev/lang, 248KB, OS3) — MicroPython interpreter for AmigaOS 3. Python scripting on your classic Amiga — now a reality.

ygame (dev/src, 506KB, OS3) — An open-source 2D AGA game engine with source code, uploaded in the March batch. Alongside Sevgi Engine, the number of open game frameworks available for new Amiga development is quietly growing.

HWP_AVCodec (dev/hwood, 5.9MB, VAR) — A Hollywood plugin providing FFmpeg-based audio/video codec support. Expands multimedia capability significantly for Hollywood-based applications across all modern Amiga platforms.

ANAIIS USB Stack — Three simultaneous updates in the 18 April batch: the main stack (284KB), boot disk (228KB), and mass storage module (91KB). The pace of ANAIIS development is excellent news for anyone wanting proper USB support on real Amiga hardware.

FidoBlitz (comm/fido, 63KB, OS3) — A Binkp/1.1 mailer for AmigaOS — for those still running FidoNet nodes. The FidoNet community on Amiga is small but dedicated.
