Tao announces multimedia-platform SDK intent 2
Today the Tao Group which is a British software developer and partner of Amiga, Inc. has officially announced the new generation of the multimedia platform SDK intent 2.

You can read the English message under the title link and documentations are available under the resources-site of Tao.

Tao about intent: "In fact intent is the only middleware platform available today that can provide a common, brandable, look&feel with consistent application behaviour and truly deliver compelling multimedia content to the full range of consumer devices - thus providing a strategy to enable all players in the value chain to thrive."

Grasshopper LLC (Website)


Grasshopper LLC Lowers PageStream Prices
The American software company Grasshopper has lowered the price of their desktop publishing application "PageStream." The full version is now available for 99 US dollars. Upgrades are now 40 US dollars. These prices are good for July, 2003 but may stay the same thereafter, if possible.

New Low Pricing
Tuesday, July 1st - Grasshopper LLC announces today new low pricing for PageStream on all platforms. "While the pricing is guaranteed only through July, it is hoped that it will be warmly embraced by the community and will be adopted then as our new permanent pricing", said owner Marna Holt today. "Our move from a brick and mortar business means lower costs and faster turn around times. We hope passing these savings on to our customers will not only increase the already tremendous value our customers get when buying PageStream, but hopefully increase the number of customers and reach those who could previously not afford PageStream." Near term plans include a revamped web site, instant messaging with our sales staff, and a monthly online public chat with Deron. PageStream now lists for $99 (from $299!!) and upgrades start out at only $40. (nba) (Translation: dm)

Samba (Website)


Networking: Samba Version 3.0.0 Beta 2
The Samba team released version 3.0.0 Beta 2 on the 1st of July. You may read the list of changes here.

Samba is a software that allows networking, for example networking of a PC and an Amiga. You'll find information about Samba for Amiga at amigasamba.org.

Here's the original press release:
The second beta release of Samba 3.0.0 is available for download. While significantly closer to the final release, it should still be considered a non-production release provided for testing purposes only. The source code and GnuPG signatures can be found on Samba mirrors. RedHat RPMS for 7.3, 8.0 and 9.0 are also available in the Binary_Packages download area. Packages for other platforms will follow shortly. The full release notes are available on-line as well. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amigan Software (Website)


Game: Saga Version 1.27
Version 1.27 of the freeware game Saga from Amigan Software has appeared. The game is a conversion of a TSR board game from 1981 called Saga: Age of Heroes and is playable by up to six players, which may be controlled by humans or the Amiga. It's all about battling monsters, finding treasure, and building your kingdom through valor and heroism.

The game is available in German and English at this time. It requires at least AmigaOS 3.0+ and AGA/RTG. The source code is in the archive. The author James R. Jacobs has made a few improvements and cleaned up a few errors since the last version.

AmiZilla progress report
After DiscreetFX had announced that there is a money booty for porting the web browser Mozilla to the Amiga (as reported) and Bill Panagouleas set up an information site about the donation efforts, he sent us the following progress report:
  • Current Booty: $4122.45
  • New! SourceForge website setup to share/update codebase for AmiZilla port.
  • New! Offical URL for AmiZilla
  • Mailinglist now has over 162 members and over 240 messages, most are about programming and porting Mozilla.
  • AmiZilla website has gotten over 1 million hits since appearing on the famous unix geek website slashdot.
  • AmiZilla continues to gather positive press for the Amiga and MorphOS by being covered on mainstream websites like CNET's news.com, mozillazine.org and many others.
  • Amiga Inc. representative Fleecy Moss has commented they like AmiZilla but will not contribute to the Initiative because a port is also underway for MorphOS.
  • New! AmiZilla poster "I Want You" by Eric Schwartz available in two sizes for webmasters that want to promote AmiZilla on their site.
  • New! AmiZilla Banner designed by Luca Ferraris.
  • New! Female Russian artist hired to create mascot for MorphOS version of Mozilla port.
  • New! Genesi and Phoenix Developer Consortium have been watching the project with great interest for some time. and may contribute funds.
Keep in mind that the AmiZilla Project needs you to be successful. The booty is now over $4122, which is a impressive amount of money for an Amiga project. If only one programmer was working on the port this would be a nice reward. However several programmers are working together. Once the money is split among coders the booty is not big enough. Please contribute if you can, every dollar helps motivate programmers to make the AmiZilla Project a success. After the release of AmiZilla more projects are being developed like Hot CoCo (JVM) and F Gordon (Flash). The development and launch of these add-ons to AmiZilla depend on the success of that project. Paypal donations can be sent in via this weblink.

About AmiZilla
The goal of the AmiZilla effort is to raise such an obscene/huge amount of money to give away to the first programmer/team that can port Mozilla to Amiga/Compatible systems that programmers will be falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time.
