Jamie had gone to work for Amiga Inc. for a while, and during that time was not able to work on AVD. (Be it contractual prohibition, not enough time, or whatever, no work was done on AVD during that time) After that contract ended, it sounded like he was becoming interested in AVD work again, but I haven't seen anything for a while about that either. It did sound like he might collaborate with Codebench authors instead, for their product, but it's hard to tell if anything actually happened there.

@ biilt

The links you gave are way older than 2012 TS mentioned.

And they don't give a hint on why or what keeps Jamie away from his supporters.

Seems the project is dead and abandoned.



??

The newest post at the OP's link is November 2010... OP said he stopped paying in 2012. (I'm not sure why anyone would have waited that long)

My assumption is that it is either abandoned, or he is silently contributing to Codebench instead (so still sortof abandoned as AVD).

It's been ages since we've seen anything from Jamie, so hard to remain optimistic IMHO... I was really looking forward to AVD back in the day. Too bad he wasted so much time under Amiga Inc. (I don't know if he feels it was wasted time, but did any of us observe something actually happening from AI?)
