Brief adequate-summari from whole amiwest:
1). Trevor says there will be x5000+ in stock, which just the same x5000 only that come with PolarisRX (but all should know, that is _slower_ than RadeonHD currently, because there is no way giving to usesr to control power managment (tool, or anything at all), and in most cases RadeonRX driver just didn't raise resources up. But it can be any other bugs of course as wel). With that x5000+ will come some prebuild wifi card (with drivers and co) and some other stuff.
There is also no relesae date of Tabor or anything of that sort. Trevor speech was mostly about how things going for now, and how it all happens in last year(s). Things about libreoffice (never ended projects which still have issues), about Enhancer (someone was called "black hole" in terms of communication, i know who:) ) and co. Nothing _that_ intersting.
2). Trevor own os4 kernel now, so ppls start to works on it , there some team , work only started. But Jamie Kruger (that one who do AVD suite) already wrote some "DMA engine", whch need to be incorporated to kernel, so it will speed things up on the kernel' level. Its not GART/DMA for graphics card, its another DMA/GART for CPU. So some speed up anyway will be everywhere. Also there was done some optimisation to Tabor so it boots faster.
3). Mritter shown he's text editor "Struct", which is really nice from video. Lots of featuers, all kind of stuff.
4). TonyW explain how he made graphics driver for inbuild limited gfx chip coming with Tabor (its of no use for 3D of course, but will be ok for 2D for sure). That driver from scratch use DMA, so all terst in beta-list (i already see it and driver done), show pretty big speed up in all cases in terms of 2D everywhere in compare with all other drivers where we have no DMA use (i.e. no GART).
5). Hans de Ruiter should soon start on bugfixing warp3dnova , things was commited for 2 months of works on it. Dunno through when those 2 monhts starts. And dunno if it include fixing also RadeonHD driver which have issues on x5000 (020 and 040) and Tabor when pass 256mb GPU barier (cause freeze). RadeonRX didn't have that issue on the same configs, so it probabaly should be easy to fix, if, anyone will understand the importance of problem (hello Mattew and Hans).
That probabaly all news for real. Other ones its just talks about nothing (like, discussing for 20 minutes some LOGO , or how they organize things, i.e. nothing worth of discussing that much).
