[News] akGIF.datatype.elf betatesters | ANN.lu |

After succeeding this afternoon with both, installing the SDK and porting "akGIF.datatype.elf" I'm now looking for reliable beta testers for this and future MorphOS projects. If you don't mind to spend some time on real-life testing and bug search, please drop me an email. Thanks!
(the MorphOS version does by no means exclude any AOS4 version for the future - I just want to focus on one single platform for now)

akGIF.datatype.elf betatesters : Comment 15 of 32 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Andreas Kleinert on 23-Aug-2004 06:07 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (Anonymous): >The "Warp" datatypes were better anyway....and free...
Small correction to the facts:
The Warp datatypes *used* to be free - and the akDatatypes *used* to be Shareware. Today it is exactly the opposite way around, talking about what is on Aminet. Once you install the free keyfile, these also are not crippled anymore.
The new PPC versions will be free for now - since I do not operate any business anymore.
Small correction to your opinion:
1. There is no WarpGIF from Oliver Roberts, as far as I know. There is one, but it certainly could not have been compared to akGIF, either (since it was not available at that time).
2. The new akDatatypes will be ppc-native and GCC-compiled, so cannot even be compared to the 68k datatypes anymore. You will have to do a new test.
Last not least:
Just wait and see. And if you do not like them, then simply do not use them.
I also do not care about the MOS/AOS4 wars. There are things I like (and do not like) about either approach. It's simply impossible for a single part-time developer to support two platforms at a time. However, making applications portable will be of value in any case. |
