<br><b>2000-1-19</b>: The <a href="http://frag.com/quest/">Quest Quake map editor</a> is actually GPL'd (Win32/DOS) and the unix port is outdated, the authors have been contacted about releasing the unix port under the GPL as well. If it is, then Quest will be QuakeForge's official editor of choice and we'll help to maintain it and port it to more platforms.<br>
<br><b>2000-1-18</b>: Palisade is working aavga into a vid_tty.c handler to make text QuakeForge embedded.<br>
<br><b>2000-1-14</b>: Laurent Giroud is working on merging Amiga support into QuakeForge, cross your fingers!<br>
<br><b>2000-1-13</b>: The Aftershock engine is currently being maintained on our CVS by <a href="mailto:lazyX@home.com">Stephen Taylor</a>, the author of Aftershock. Stephen is also working with us to merge QuakeForge and Aftershock. Aftershock is a Q3A-like rendering engine which can render Q3A levels almost perfectly. You can join in on the discussion by <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/quake-aftershock">subscribing</a> to the quake-aftershock mailing list.<br>
<br><b>2000-1-12</b>: Palisade has set up a project called QuakePolicy to help projects inter-communicate on Quake(R) development. Project leaders, members, or anyone interested in collaborating to maintain compatibility and feature sets across all Quake projects can visit the QuakePolicy <a href="http://quakepolicy.sourceforge.net/">homepage</a> and subscribe to the mailing list. QuakePolicy is a seperate organization from QuakeForge and it's only goal is inter-project collaboration. Beyond mailing lists, we might also host projects in the CVS for mutual development, and we could host patches for fixes and feature additions for other projects out there who need them.<br>
<br><b>2000-1-11</b>: Sam Lantinga is working with the QuakeForge project on maintaining SDL support. Here is a portion of an email I recieved from him:<br><br><i>
From: Sam Lantinga<br>
To: Nelson Rush<br>
...<br>
[NR] Btw, I've been talking with Carmack, I mentioned the SDL and GGI
support and your and Maas work on getting SDLQuake in the tree. I think
he likes the project so far, I'll be keeping in contact with him...
we've already fixed lots of things by questioning him.
If you need any fixes for your version of SDLQuake...[NR]<br><br>
[SL] I'd rather help complete the SDL merge and just point to you guys.
You rock, BTW. :) [SL]<br>
...</i><br>
<br><b>2000-1-10</b>: We need help implementing IPv6, fixing Svgalib, merging the Aftershock renderer, porting to Amiga, MacOS, BeOS, or any other platforms. We also could use a hand in devising free replacements for the textures/maps/models/etc. Join our <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/quake-devel">mailing list</a> to see about contributing.<br>
<br><b>2000-1-9</b>: Feature FREEZE, unstable release 0.1.0 coming soon.<br>
<br><b>2000-1-7</b>: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/survey/survey.php?group_id=882&survey_id=10062">Vote in this survey for the new Quake(R) and QuakeWorld(R) engine name</a>.<br>
<br><b>2000-1-6</b>: **Critical** download, grab our GPL'd mdfour replacement for the proprietary md4 code accidently left in the q1source release from our <a href="devfiles.php">downloads</a> section.
