The development of the new DBPro3 is slowly but steadily taking shape.

Our first goal is and was to code the whole program completly new to get more structure in order to improve and be more efficient.

Furthermore, the handling is the same as in DBPro2.x. The current development status is the internal version Alpha 17th.

In the next 3-4 months, we will give you a very detailed status update and we hope to release a beta-demoversion. We want to emphasize again, that can not give you more further details. We do not want to pledge that we will not keep that promise.

As the first release of 2009, we have prepared an update pack for the now out-of-date MorphOS 1.4.x which includes various minor improvements. Most notably, the archive includes several libraries that are required to stay compatible with new software releases, such as future Ambient versions and applications relying on PowerSDL, as many developers continue to migrate to MorphOS 2.x.

The Update Pack for MorphOS 1.4.x is available for download in our files section. To install the update, unpack the archive and copy all files to your system partition. Please take special note that this update is not intented to be installed on MorphOS 2.x or higher.
