Amiga Java: Jamiga Alpha 0.02
A new alpha version of the Amiga Java port "Jamiga" is available for download. Changes since the last version:
- Bugfix: JIT works now on "real" 68040/60 Amigas
- Bugfix: A problem with the UTF8 - UTF16 conversion that caused many memory errors has been resolved
- Network support works, also in connection with several threads ("UDP Sockets" and the "NetworkInterface" classes are not supported yet)
- There's a lot of work to do yet on AWT, but the "Testframe" classes may now change the size of opened windows

Intel announces AMD64 compatible processor
"Other way around now" seems to be the new agenda: While AMD's 32 bit x86
processors are compatible to the Intel standard the latter company has announced a 64 bit extension
compatible to AMD's 64 bit technique now. Thus a good chance is given that the 64 bit desktop
processors by both companies will be compatible to each other. Currently Intel keeps the
32 bit concept within this area and plans to implement the AMD extension initially to
their workstation and server processor Xeon only.
