As You all probably already know we announced a road map for CodeWarrior 
at MacHack.

Unfortuntately I was not able to get any firm commitments on pricing 
before the convention.

Here are some highlights that I'm sure are to generate follow up 
questions.

First off we will have another patch for CW 9 that fixes the Read-Only 
touch bug and some other minor things.   I hope this hows our continued 
commitment to the Mac OS Developers and we aren't just discarding things.
This will be available in a few weeks after beta testng is finished.

We will have a CodeWarrior 10 this September or October.  It will be our 
last full release of CodeWarrior for Mac OS. 

We chose not to just continue to update CW 9 because it was basically 
too old in the tooth to continue.  We wanted to do 64 bit support, and 
text based project formats and other things.   

While CW 10 will cost it will be minimal.  This is a one last effort to 
provide a platform that our users can continue to use for PowerPC 
projects for years to come.  They can maintain their older projects and 
I believe that people will want this product on the shelf in its latest 
format.

We discussed providing Intel support through 3rd party tools but if CW 
10 is our last version this seemed pointless.  We do have a plugin SDK 
that will help others if they wish to attempt this as they have for 
Pascal.


PowerPlant works for the Intel hosts, Apple even has information on how 
to do this and other points of help.

PowerPlant and PowerPlantX and Constructor will be open sourced and we 
have contacted Greg Dow and he is interested but nothing firm is there 
at this time.

You may ask how long will CodeWarrior for Mac OS be supported
We will have e-mail support until the end of the year just as it 
currently is provided.  If release slips we will extend this.   
We will have support on newsgroups, and CodeWarrior Forums at least for 
a full year after CodeWarrior 10 is released
I fully expect based on other products that have been discontinued that 
ur users will maintain a community for some time to come.
