Announcing availability of CygnusEd 5

[olsen]

Yes, sorry, I didn't know that until yesterday. The exchange of CygnusEd source code broke down years ago, and I probably would have known what developments had taken place if there had been some sort of coordination.

So, no disrespect is intended. When I shared the CygnusEd source code, the idea was always to port the editor.

Speaking of which...?

Exchange? What's that mean? Did a different programmer take the help at some point?

Yes. The updates for AmigaOS 2.x/3.x and MorphOS (CygnusEd V4) were done by different programmers. The whole process was not as well-coordinated as could have been, owing to the fact that we didn't start out with a common source code repository. Nowadays everybody uses software such as CVS, but when development picked up in 1995/1996 this sort of thing was far from widespread. What we didn't manage to do back then never came together again, which is why the MorphOS and AmigaOS versions evolved into different directions.
