Should I send a cheque, or do you take postal orders? Gonna fax my order over now

While i am all up to what Daniel do, i doubt you will have 100 copies sold, and more of it, i doubt this "Register interest / press release" old mambo-jambo is still need it in today's amiga world.

And so say truth, 3.3 version already fine enough for casual ogles2 ports and without improving drivers and warp3dnova you can't probably gain much anymore. But asking for bug-fixes for 35$ is imho too much. You should pay then beta-testers too, who find the bugs in.

And how it will be released ? One version as it now, or you will mess this out and create for each hardware separate library like you mess with RadeonHD v5 ?

And what is with latest version of radeonrx and warp3dnova, will they ever be released ?

Hello,

- it will likely be released via Updater
- Almost all of the funds raise will go to the developer Daniel
- the new lib is not platform specific.
- users have requested a new version and Daniel has agreed to do it for a discounted rate if there is the interest.

I also have a few questions: will this new version come with an improved and fixed version of Warp3D Nova? Since OGLES2 is a wrapper, one cannot be distributed without the other.
I tend to agree with Kas1e; I don't see the point of fixing only OGLES2 right now, as it won't result in any speed improvements over what we currently have.
And regarding those who develop games using this library—will they get this update for free? After all, it is we who keep these drivers alive; without us, they wouldn't be selling.

Thanks for your reply.

Have a good evening.

There is almost zero profit in these projects

A-EON has invested tens of thousands over the years into the creation and maintenance of the OpenGL ES Library and received a fraction of the costs back.

You will get a free copy.
