Spreadsheet: ignition
'ignition' is a spreadsheet featuring an integrated relational database. It is currently developed under AmigaOS 3 and will be distributed by IOSPIRIT. Ports for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS are planned as well.
Approached by amiga-news.de, author Axel Dörfler explains that the program has reached a pretty advanced state - though import and export functions for Excel and Turbocalc spreadsheets are not implemented yet and the documentation still needs a lot of work. Dörfler is unable to announce a release date as he has a lot of job-related projects going on right now.
The current version of ignition will be demonstrated at the Amiga meeting in Bad Bramstedt (Germany) this weekend. Screenshots and further information are available under the title link.

AmigaOS4: Support for Anti Grain Geometry
As it is to read at the AGG website the Anti Grain Geometry may, thanks to Steven Solie, be used with AmigaOS4 now. The demos are expanded with OS4 versions.
Anti Grain Geometry (AGG) is a C++ based open source graphic libraray. AGG is not depending on a special graphic API nor on other technologies. Principally it is a kind of rendering engine which generates pixel data based on vectors. A detailed description is available at the project site.
Handling with AmigaOS4: For information about available targets type make -f Makefile.AmigaOS. To install AGG to the AmigaOS4-SDK call the following: make -f Makefile.AmigaOS install. To just make one of the demos (e.g. 'lion') type: make -f Makefile.AmigaOS bin/lion.

AmiAtlas: Cancellation of the MorphOS version
Gerd Frank wrote:
"Because of the absolutely poor cooperation of Genesi and because of the non-observance
of a contract within 16 months we unfortunately are not able to support the Pegasos
and thus MorphOS with an adapted version of AMIATLAS.
This also applies to all other projects such as OctaMed Soundstudio
or XiPaint. Therefore we will focus on AmigaOne and AmigaOS4.
We regret it but it has not been our mistake. Nevertheless we wish all
MorphOS users much fun with the system!
AmiATLAS Development Team,
Gerd Frank"

distributed.net: PowerPC/MorphOS Overtakes x86/DOS, PowerPC/AmigaOS Catching Up
RC5 72 statistics show that MorphOS edged ahead of x86/DOS, taking 13th place, and now it's PA-RISC/HP-UX in front of MorphOS - but this is a system not in danger of being overtaken anytime soon, judging by the current blockrates. PowerPC/AmigaOS by contrast - right now in 16th place - is doing more blocks per day, although it's three positions back, in this blockrate aspect it's noticeably on MorphOS' heels.
