Now that we have a (somewhat) stable Firmware and set of Drivers for the ZZ9000, it's time to start working on the most interesting part: a native AmigaOS library that accelerates common operations using the second ARM core.
These will cover things like image, audio, surfaces (zero-copy!), crypto, and more.
Datatypes, mp3 players, C2P operations, are just some of the things that can benefit from this.
ZZ9000 firmware v2.1.0 is tagged.
Highlights: faster RTG paths, improved Ethernet RX/warm-reset handling, USB proxy fixes, FWUP updates
from AmigaOS, videocap fixes, FSBL bounds checks, and rebuilt bitstreams incl. ns-pal variants.
https://github.com/BlitterStudio/zz9000-firmware/releases/tag/v2.1.0
Also, new drivers package:
New ZZFwUpdate tool, RTG/Picasso96 improvements, Poseidon USB fixes, expanded ZZTop diagnostics, firmware RX stats in zznetstats, and
refreshed installer/docs.

DOpus5 5.101 is out for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, and AROS.
Highlights: SFTP, UTF-8 FTP/FTPS/SFTP filename handling, OS3 68000 and AROS packages, LNFS/PFS fixes, refreshed docs, OS3 titlebar/UI fixes, and `print.module` hardening.

I've transferred the DOpus5 repo, from my personal account to BlitterStudio.
The name was also changed from dopus5allamigas to just dopus5.
The new link is: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/dopus5
(the old links should auto-forward there anyway). All issues and history is retained, of course.
The legendary Directory Opus 5, coming soon to a 64-bit AROS system near you...
