The development of the new DBPro3 is slowly but steadily taking shape.

Our first goal is and was to code the whole program completly new to get more structure in order to improve and be more efficient.

Furthermore, the handling is the same as in DBPro2.x. The current development status is the internal version Alpha 17th.

There is now 11 project open for grabs and 15 assigned projects on OpenAmiga.org. 2008 provided a slow start for OpenAmiga, as expected with the number of available developers for our platform. Hopefully 2009 will speed things up a bit with the SAM adding more and more os4 users to the fold. Still we managed to submit the extended mouse pointer types project to Hyperion and quite a bit of source code was submitted to the svn.

Current status:

I'm happy to announce that WarpView 1.02 is now available for download and contains several bug fixes and improvements.

Update: v1.03 is available now on OS4depot.net and fixes some nasty bugs that slipped into v1.02.
