A new official beta is planned before the end of this month, or so I was told. I intend to get back to more regular binary snapshot releases after this one has hit the streets. I'll talk to Frank about a possible binary snapshot before this too. >Meanwhile XaAES is making huge improvements, thanks to active >freeMiNT members, and it is available only for a tiny fews ... True, this is a problem. And also, it is the #1 reason why I onces started the website. >I meant everybody's time, do you understand ? Great work can't >be hidden for everyone ... That's what I meant calling XaAES >project "dead" since it was included in the CVS. We can't >have a XaAES project indexed for its publication, on the >kernel rhythm of development ... No I agree with you there. I am for sure intending to release binary snapshots again, and am in regular contact with both Ozk and Charon, who both has been contributing in the past. Meanwhile, I encourage anyone here on MiNT list (or elsewhere too, for that matter!) to share some screenshots with me, so ppl can see what XaAES can look like! >> I will ignore your discouraging words for sure. > >You misunderstood ... I wasn't complaining about you ... Okies, then I misunderstood what you wrote. No harm done ;) Regards, Joakim
