Development environment: Cubic IDE available (formerly known as GoldED Studio)
As announced was GoldED Studio with the new version renamed to Cubic IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Officially supports the development enviroment by Dietmar Eilert AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS 1.4.x.
Below's an translation of the official German press release about Cubic IDE:
Cubic IDE is an development environment for AmigaOS and MorphOS.
ABOUT CUBIC IDE
The main part of Cubic
IDE is the editor GoldED 8. Next to this the package contains several free C/C++ compilers like GCC, the HTML environment Webworld, a
LISP interpreter, the spell checking software Joyce, Roget's Thesaurus, authors modes for Rexx macros and installations and further parts. Cubic IDE
supports developers from the writing of the source codes and the documentation (AmigaGuide and AutoDoc modes) to the creation of installations with the installation wizard that is part of the package. Cubic IDE integrates seamless into SAS/C, vbcc,
GCC and the StormC3 development environment:
- Debuggersupport for users of StormC3: breakpoints are shown next to the text
- a configurable reference system for autoDocs, includes, source codes and other material helps you to find information in a quick way
- the QuickInfo function shows always information for the word under the cursor (e.g. prototypes of the OS functions)
- the QuickFunc navigation shows all functions, structures etc. that are definde in the source code
- inbuilt grep support allows you to search for (and replace) patterns in a list of files
CUBIC IDE REPLACES GOLDED STUDIO AIX
The software's name until now was GoldED Studio AIX and the internal name
was GoldED 7 (upgrades for GoldED AIX users are available on the Cubic IDE website, log in). The new name was chosen to better reflect the content. The first new version number is 1.0, a compromise between an editor on the level of 8.0 and an IDE on the level of 0.4 :) And here's the new logo.
CUBIC IDE KAUFEN
The list price is 69.90 EUR. During the first week there's an introducting price of 49.90 EUR. The software can be bought in the Cubic IDE Webshop.

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS:

Linux: REBOL-Update
Carl Sassenrath`s independent platform script language
REBOL has been updated for Linux/PPC.
The Genesi-PPC-Build of REBOL/Core was updated. Besides this the support
of REBOL/View was added for this system which is the graphical version of REBOL.
Furthermore the new REBOL Virtual Machine ("rebcode") is supported which will be
finished soon. According to Carl Sassenrath with VM you can get a ten to twenty
times faster performance for special kinds of mathematic and graphical applications.
Meanwhile Genesi continues its T-Shirt offer for beta testers.

AmigaOS 4: Shared compiling via several computers
Steven Solie has ported the distcc-packet
(client & server) in version 2.18.3-1 as well as the parallel working possibilities
of GNU make in version 3.81b3-1
for AmigaOS 4.
Thus owners of several computers which work with AmigaOS 4 and which have the
OS4-SDK installed can share the compiling processes on these ones.
Because of still missing functions of the operating system as well as clib2-ts limitations
this ports still are beta versions. A completely working version can be not expected until
there will be updates for AmigaOS 4 and clib2.

Website: Commodore Amiga Information Source closes
Patrick Klöter writes:
"Dear Amiga Friends,
In the last weeks and months, I have been getting around to updating my Amiga web page less and less. Therefore, I have the following announcement to make: The articles from Commodore Amiga Information Source will migrate to the Amiga Future web page in the following weeks.
Whether into the article database or somewhere else, remains to be seen. Andreas and I will try to haul as many articles as possible from my website.
In return, my page will go offline soon. The guestbook, my forum and the ML will also be affected by this. Therefore, I am already referring to the forum of AMIGA Future or the forum of Amiga-News.
This move does not come easy to me, but I am pleased that the content is preserved through Amiga Future.
On this path, I'd like to thank all Commodore and Amiga friends, who have visited this website regularly and provided me with praise and criticism in the 4 1/2 years.
Sincerely yours,
Patric Klöter" (cg) (Translation: cad)

ars technica: The evolution of gaming
In his article, Jeremy Reimer tries to comprehend how individual game genres have advanced over the years. In reality, has only the quality of the graphics improved, or are there fundamental differences in playability?
To get to the bottom of this question, Reimer compares 66 games from diverse genres and decades. (cg) (Translation: cad)

ValiantVision: Support for the TV card chipset saa713x
Guido Mersman has been working on "ValiantVision," the successor to AmithlonTV, the TV card driver software, for some time. As he discloses in his developer journal, a driver for the Philips saa713x chipset has reached beta status in the meantime.
This very widespread chipset offers better picture quality than the bt8x8, supported by AmithlonTV/ValiantVision until now, and supports two picture channels. Thus, it will be possible to display a freely scalable (preview) picture, while in the background, the picture is displayed in full size through the second channel. (cg) (Translation: cad)
