BITbyBIT AVD

Has anyone heard from Jamie over at BITbyBIT Software Group Ltd lately?

The last news item on his webpage says he was employed by Amiga Inc in early 2008, I was really looking forward to using the AVD suite...

He has left Amiga world... it would be good if he releases source code of his programs...

I'm rather surprised that people didn't get mad about BitByBit's behaviour, because AFAIK he never delivered much despite (a) big promises, and (b) taking a lot of people's money in the form of "subscriptions".

True.

The SDKBrowser is really good though.

Would be nice if it was released as opensource so that it can continue to be updated.

I believe the more detailed info about Jamie and written BY Jamie was on the prior page of the thread you linked to.
Reposting just his email response to AW staff (Wegster):

Quote:
What I will say publicly, (so you can quote me here),
is that AVD will be returning, and will be completed.
While I intend to complete the work myself, it may be
that an Open Source effort will come into play which
I will oversee.

Currently, my original A1-XE machine no longer boots :(
and my backup Micro-A1 is rather unstable when running
AmigaOS 4.0 (plus patches). I am hoping that the Micro
will become usable again under AOS 4.1, but I have yet
to purchase a copy and find out. I was rather looking
forward to some newer hardware really, maybe even a laptop,
but there you are.

The simple truth is this; I made commitments and I intend
to honor them. However, as with any other commercial
product, AVD can not survive existing only on AmigaOS4 machines
while the numbers of those machines does not steadily
increase. Without continual growth of the target audience,
or the support of a major sponsor, as a commercial offering
AVD has hit a brick wall. This leaves only two choices
as I see it. Make the bridge over to other OSes, or
release the AVD sources to be maintained by the public
directly.

While I would rather not simply give away all of my hard work,
I will do so rather than let it die. That decision has not
been made yet however.

Best Regards,

Jamie Krueger

I should add that as of my most recent information, NDA regarding Amiga Inc. is still involved, so if someone writes to Jamie, please use some disgression.
Also, he is aware of the other OS4 hardware developed (SAM) since he was active in our community.
Also, offers to help him with his current hardware were already made, but I am unaware of any followup on his part to date.

I was wondering if Jamie would still continue his work. Wow, It's 2 years now since we had some news?

Just by some luck i got the mail from Jamie yesterday, in which he say that he hope to release a first 1.0 version of AVD somehow around amiwest 2011. Its of course only "hope", and you all know how everything can happens, but he works on it, make updates, and so on.

(hope Jamie will not angree on me that i spread some small info:) )

I also ask him if he have plans to add Highlighting support to his SDK browser, and he say yes, of course.

Interesting that. I myself find it inconvenient to code much for AmigaOS, in that you really should have an Amiga to do it on. Mine are all in storage mode, and I don't have a lot of hope to have them set up soon. I use my PC laptop exclusively, as I can get to it and turn it on and use the thing. I want very much to see an AmigaOS 4.x laptop for that reason, and for years have pondered how to make one happen. It's obviously a task for more than one person to achieve...

If we had a better solution for cross-development, that'd be great. (Yes, I've followed existing howtos to set up a linux cross-compiler environment, but that means I don't get good Amiga tools like AVD and such for Amiga coding).

If AVD became an Eclipse plugin, that'd be very cool IMHO. OK, we can't run Eclipse on AmigaOS, but I'd love to see it for our OS. We need Java to get Eclipse, we need WxWidgets to get CodeBlocks, whatever, having a cross-platform environment that works well with Amiga SDK, amiga docs in .guide format, etc. would make life easier both on Jamie and other dev tool creators like him and easier on on us other developers.

@All

FWIW, Jamie had a table and was demonstrating AVD at last
year's 2010 AmiWest.

I don't know when that EMail (quoted above) from Jamie
was written, I don't recall him saying he was having
hardware issues at showtime.

Anyway, he gave great demos of how various components
worked and had a lot of plans for the suite. The GUI
builder is impressive.

Hopefully, we see him this October at AmiWest with the
results.

You can check data of quote-posting - 2009. Since that time everything fixed and sorted , and on amiwest 2010 its all already was in the past. So today all the problems in very deep past, and as i say, i recieve a mail from him few days ago, in which he say that somethere around of amiwest 2011 he hope to release avd 1.0.

I also remember Jamie posting, shortly after the show, that the release of a new version of the SDK Browser was due soon(ish). Sadly, he went silent after that so I don't know what might have gone wrong with that.
