AmIDE goes Open-Source (GPL)
Not long ago the source codes of AmIDE which is an integrated developing
environment for the Amiga have been published by Jens Langner under GPL
(open-source) and thus is available to everybody under the title link.
Jens has published the source codes because he cannot develop further
AmIDE and thus hopes to encourage a team of developers for the
sourceforge project.
The source texts have been completely reworked for the GPL release and
have been uploaded to the CVS of the sourceforge server in this way that
they immediatly can be compiled with SAS/C.
Every interested developer who wants to directly take part in AmIDE is
supposed to contact Jens
Langner and will then get the writing access to the CVS sources.
The old homepage will be updated later and an explicit developer
mailing list will be also created then.

Scene-Diskmag: Jurassic Pack with own homepage
Just before the summer break the AmigaDemoScene diskmag called "Jurassic Pack" could celebrate its 10th issue. To this occasion an own website was finally created. Thus you can download all issues but as well as enjoy the music tracks and title pictures. Besides this there are lot of arcticles for reading online. There you can also find texts which have nothing to do with the scene but for example with Amiga Inc. (ps) (Translation: dr)

On public demand: Download "Shanghai Dragon" AGA version
On public demand Christian Rosentreter
has published the AGA version of "Shanghai Dragon".
Download: tksd.lha
Please note that this version is not being further developed anymore, and is really
not comparable to the coming CGX version. The AGA version only shows the
framework, the CGX version will offer better graphics and a much enhanced
functional range.
Please also note that the AGA version cannot be redirected to gfx card screens
properly, and also that there is no documentation available.
There is a screen shot at the ZENZER-2dNOW-Forum.
Further details (about the future CGX version) can be gleaned from the
interview with
Christian Rosentreter in AMIGA ARENA. You can also find some information about
the planned game on the Amiga Future
page.
However, the CGX version will not be released "in a week" - this was a
little misunderstanding. A release in late autumn is more probable. (ps) (Translation: cb)

GPatch Version 3 completed
The 68k version 3 of the patch system GPatch has finally been completed and put on Aminet.
There have been many improvements over the previous version:
New search algorithms, new coding methods, easier execution of the patch. And
for those who don't know it yet: GPatch is the only program of its kind with
the ability to combine any number of difference data in one patch file in order
to automatically update different older versions of a program to the newest one.
And - to demonstrate that the program is really worthy of a news item - the
readme contains a comparison of different update variants of a real program
(AWeb 3.2 and 3.3 to 3.4). Just briefly the result: The classic approach with
scompare takes 1:28 minutes to create 277258 bytes (compressed), GCompare 3
on the other hand takes 0:59 minutes to create 163593 bytes.
