No new version, but a very nice update to the site:
"Todays starts a free beta period of a revised Mini vMac Variations service. The concept now is that I'll make custom made variations, for a small fee, to help support Mini vMac development. Instead of the previous idea of activations codes, you are permitted and encouraged to redistribute your variations. Which I think is more compatible with the goals of the Gryphel project, and open source generally. Previous work for the earlier variations service I think now makes it feasible to build large numbers of custom variations, in batches.
I've updated the Mini vMac 3.2.3 documentation from the list of changes, which gets it closer to the official release. The example variations are more accessible, from the Options page.
In other news, I've resigned from recent paid work to have more time for Mini vMac, and the Gryphel project."

The first batch of custom variations have been posted. Go exploring and see if any of them might come in handy!

I requested a build. I requested a build with 32 drives and with the default speed set to 1x.
I presume that it will work on my 64 bit Ubuntu. Though the build I described in the other topic did not work, the Linux build that you provide on your site does work.

The beta is over and Custom Variations are now live. Thank you for participating.
I've been trying out a number of 64 bit Linux distributions, and it seems that 32 bit binaries do not always work by default. I think in some distributions you need to load packages to get them to work.ClockWise wrote:I presume that it will work on my 64 bit Ubuntu.

So I'm considering providing 64 bit Linux binaries, even though currently they are much slower than the 32 bit (for lack of assembly language tweaking). I'm currently leaning towards compiling on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The resulting binaries seemed to work in the other modern 64 bit distributions I've tried.
