The Advanced Access Preview Release has an update; it improves NetPositive & PPP performance, among other improvements.

The Application Kit, The Interface Kit, and The Support Kit are the latest chapters of The Be Book for the Advanced Access Preview Release to appear on the web site. These chapters primarily consist of DR8 functions which have been updated to the Preview Release; this should aid in Preview Release application updating efforts.

The Storage Kit is the first section of The Be Book for the Advanced Access Preview Release to make it up on the web site. More sections will follow over the next few weeks.

Added a dozen or so recent articles to the Be In the News page.

BeWare applications can now be classified as compatible with "AA:PR" and "DR8 and AA:PR" if they work on the Advanced Access Preview Release. The BeWare category of "Communications" was also changed to "Network" (a distinction for serial/terminal applications vs. TCP/IP applications).

The transcript for the Messaging and Scripting BeDC session is now available.

Newsletter #74.

In an effort to get more information out sooner, we're putting up preliminary versions of some of the BeDC session transcripts. Note that they're extremely raw; we're doing this as an experiment to guage the reaction to putting up early information. The session source code isn't available yet and the images are inefficient, but we thought we'd put this info out there for use.

The sessions available are:

• 3D on the BeOS
• BeOS and UNIX Compatibility
• Writing Java on the BeOS
• Fundamentals of Multithreaded Programming
• Working With Video and Audio
• Writing Video Drivers

The Bug Report Form now accepts Advanced Access Bugs; the floodgates are officially open. Check the Bug Database before submitting, though.

Newsletter #73.

Forgot to mention that instructions for mboxify were added to the Developers section on May 10. mboxify lets you save your DR8 database e-mail as a UNIX-style mbox file.

It's days like this when it would just be easier to have a "What Isn't New on the Be Web Site" page....

A new area called Approaching the Market was added to the Developer section. Just Add Customer is for developers, and is meant to help out with the post-coding part of software development. This area will definitely evolve over time.

A What's Be? document was added to help out the user who is new to Be and the BeOS.

BeOS Now! was added to try to stem the tide of "How can I get the BeOS" questions we receive. Especially now that the developer-only Advanced Access release is being sent out to developers.

Finally, the dock has disappeared from the site. It's gone in the Preview Release, so it had to leave the web site, too....
