Christian Rosentreter has publidhed an update of the MorphOS port of the version management program SVN. The changes are included in the Release Notes on the SVN-homepage.
Please note that a subversion client of version 1.5 will update all projects which are older than version 1.5.x. Thus older client cannot read these projects any longer. This affects only working copies but not repositories.

AmiBlitz³: Update of Includes (version 3.1e)
There are updated Includes for the basic developing environment AmiBlitz³. It is an extension of the function libraries.
The remapping of 8-Bit-screens was reworked. Colormaps are now separate objects (cmap.include) and can be loaded and saved separately.
For games you can create hand optimated palettes and can save it as IFF-CMAP or as an example picture (GIF, ILBM, PNG). This was done at AsteroidsTR which now has 256 colours.
Additionally the dithering-algorithm and dbl.include were changed.
The next update will include the monkeyscript.include. Because of legal reasons the function library giga.include could still not be published.
