@trixie Thank you so much for this update. What you implemented there is exceptional. Reading this post got me asking more like "What?" and "How this can be done?" and at the end realizing how many things I need to learn to catch up with this implementations. I need to learn a lot.
At the point where you talked about the vacation time you took, but you are doing more work, it reminded me last Easter where I got a week of annual leave from my daily job and worked only on MediaVault and learning new stuff. That made me feel so happy and good, by working on these machines, that I want to repeat it again in the first chance.
Looking forward for your next update and of' course, the Rave release. Keep it up man.

Frankly, I wrote the update specifically with you in mind because you asked for more details on how things are done in code. I'm glad you've found some food for thought in it - feel free to ask if you want to know more! And don't worry: you'll learn along the way as you work on your own projects. Was the same for me.

Yes, these things can feel very rewarding! By the way, I've been using your MediaVault all the time this summer, tuning in and listening to various online radios as I worked on Rave.
For those of you who do Facebook: some time ago I set up a Facebook page related to my software projects. And now - because writing blog posts can get quite time-consuming - I've decided to publish smaller progress updates and WIP screenshots on that Facebook page. You're very welcome to follow me.
Should we wait for a new demo from you guys? Or am I pushing too much? :D
Actually, we are working on a new demo, which we'd like to release at the Revision demoparty in spring. I only hope we'll be able to finish it in time.
Great read thanks so much. Keep the Meetings ongoing and looking forward to you next blogpost. (and rave software ofcourse)
Glad you enjoyed the article! As for Rave, I'm currently working on a preview build for the Amiga NG magazine, which I covered in a previous blog post. If things go well, it's my intention to release the first public version before the end of the year.
I've enjoyed reading your blog-post, very entertaining. Aerial image of Vranov look like idyllic place, frozen in time. It's great that you have friends to talk not only computers, but Amiga as well, and for that goulash, I would love to dig into that, lol! I think I am going to do some cooking myself now, minus kettle, it's to cold outside. Thanks and cheers!
I've sent a preview version of Rave to my testers and they say that except for a few glitches, things are looking good Roman "kas1e" Kargin has offered to make a video from his testing, so you'll soon see the program in action, rather than just from screenshots.
The new post on my blog details the final development phase of the Rave editor project, and also announces that the first public version of the program can finally be downloaded from OS4depot. Enjoy!
@trixie Congratulations on the first release of Rave. I hope that the users will find it helpful and start creating stuff on their AmigaOS 4 with it. After all, Amiga is for creative minds. Isn't it? :D
