Title: WB changelog ?
Post by: xaccrocheur on December 13, 2005, 09:28:02 PM

Hi

Is there a page somewhere with the feature lists of the WBs ? specifically, I'd like to know what was added to 3.1 to make 3.5, and then 3.9 ?

EDIT : Found it (http://www.gregdonner.org/workbench/index.html). If you know a more detailed ressource, please let me know

EDIT : Does this (http://www.haage-partner.de/aos39/aos39book-d.htm) exists in Engligh ? (Is it correct to put a capital E to "English" ? I know it IS for "England", but ?)

There are also full release notes for individual components in the 3.9 NDK.

Yes. Names of languages are proper nouns so should be written with capital initials. This is not the same in all languages (French for example).

NDK stands for Native Developer Kit.

Thanks, I really wondered. Incidentally, *you* made the typo, dude ! You should have written "french". We don't mess with this. See you at dawn in the park, with your English witnesses :)

@Thomas : And is this NDK publicly available ?

Ahhh, but I am English and was writing in English, which is why I wrote French. If I was writing in French then I would have written francais  :-)

Well, my memory leaves me here. I cannot find it in Google now, either. But I am quite sure that one or two years ago there were news that Das Buch had been translated to italian. I think it was published by this Austrian Amiga shop which closed and settled to USA recently (was it Point Design ?)

I got it. Virtual Works (http://www.virtualworks.it/) did an italian translation of the book back in 2001. But also no longer available.

Does anybody bought this book?
