- ACUP status update: The Imagine S.A.R.E. (Stand Alone Render Engine) has been issued
to the beta testers. Almost all of Imagines rendering functions are supported in this release, and over the next
few beta updates we will see enhancements to the client/server design, and PPC support. (PPC rendering already
works with the current ImagineV5.18 beta release)

22nd June 2000

- Quake ports for Amiga 68K, PPC (PowerUP and WarpOS), and GLQuake are now available
from your local Aminet mirror.
Quake ports: Frank Wille, Steffen Häuser.
GLQuake: Massimiliano Tretene.
QuakeGUI: Martin McKenzie.
clickBOOM will also be providing Amiga quake and these ports with their soon to be released game Nightlong.

10th June 2000

- Updated gallery, animations and projects areas with new files.

6th June 2000

- ACUP status update: Work is progressing on the next phase of the ACUP update; A client/server
orientated rendering system is being introduced, where this will aid in the provision of 68K/PPC support. These
changes will also help us to, in the future, provide stand-alone rendering software and improve network rendering
support.
In the meantime, for those of you not in the beta testing group - there is a new test program for users with PPC
and 3D gfx cards available. It can be downloaded from the ACUP server, on the beta table at the bottom of the
page "000529-edgl". This is an example of hardware accelerated OpenGL support, showing texture/environment/
multi-texture mapping, along with PPC support.
More information will be posted here, and to the Imagine Mailing List, as the steps to the next ACUP release are
completed.

- Amiga has implemented a new e-mail support list for AmigaOS 3.5. Details can be found
on the support page of their website.

14th May 2000

- ACUP status update: To implement the PPC rendering code, it was necessary
to utilise a new compiler system; The V5.17 ACUP (68k) release was produced with this new compiler,
but unfortunately a number of problems showed up with the generated code (hence the release of the
V5.17 patch, and the V5.17a update).
During the wait for an update to the compiler, work continued with PPC rendering support. The results
of the work so far has been issued to the beta-testers; On the systems where the code worked as
anticipated, a significant speed increase was gained with the PPC over the same test with a 50Mhz 060.
Unfortunately, due to the problems which appear when compiling Imagine with this system, a backup
solution of using an alternative PPC compiler is in the process of being implemented.
Since extra work has to be done to get Imagine tested and running under the alternative compiler,
the public release of the V5.18 ACUP update will have to be pushed back a bit.
More information will be posted here, and to the Imagine Mailing List, as the steps to the next
ACUP release are completed.
