Break's Amiga Demo Scene Collection

Guess what, I'm back. Well, sort of. I'll probably never be as active as I used to be, but as I've graduated from the university theres much less pressure for things other than my hobbies. So I'll be adding new stuff into the collection every now and then. Yay! After starting this whole archiving thing again, I've noticed that both the web frontend and backend for the database are a total mess. A complete rewrite will take some designing and time, but at least some changes (better search, etc) are coming in the very near future. I'm also planning to implement a certain feature which has been requested a lot during the years, but more of that later..

Although I've been lazy to update this news page for the last YEAR or so, my work on the collection is far from finished. I finally got past the 10000 release mark, and new items keep coming in as do the features. Remember to check out the history.txt every now and then even if there's nothing new on this subpage. While the products remain the main reason for upholding this database, I've slowly warmed up to the idea of adding more information and metadata as well. After all, it's not just the products themselves that need to be saved from extinction. Credits were implemented just now for 2.0.6, but don't except a huge avalanche of data to be inserted just yet. Designs exist for all sorts of info archiving, but thanks to work, studying and other activities my time is tragically limited. Nevertheless, it will all come together piece by piece.. Finally, thanks to everybody who has helped me in locating missing productions, adding/correcting info and so on. I've gotten scolded from mentioning people's names before, so "you know who you are"!

I surprised even myself with a manic webmonkeying crunch, and as the result v2.0.0 of the public Amiga WWW thingy is now online! For a full (?) list of changes check out the history.txt. I'm pretty sure there are some 1911 new bugs lurking about, feel free to send your reports. Anyone know what happened to a certain Norwegian fellow called Geir H.? Either he has disappeared from the face of the earth, or something is blocking my emails to him. If you're reading this, please contact me as soon as you can. Over 9000 products in my "collection" at the moment. Can I break 10000 before the end of the year? Old News removed at least for now. Don't worry, they still exist somewhere in space and time.
