Here is what we will have with CW 10 expected this fall.  

CodeWarrior IDE 5.8
Text-based xml projects (optional via user preference)

Packager support updated so that it is no longer necessary to make 
changes for packaging in multiple targets � added ability to have a 
master packaging target to perform common package actions

Debugger
* Able to debug PowerPC 64-bit executables

C/C++ Compiler 4.0
* New interprocedural analysis (IPA) for file level or whole program 
optimizations
* Modified inliner for true bottom-up inlining when using IPA
* 64-bit PowerPC code generation
* Improved template instantiation error messages
* Updated POD detection to conform to C++03 standard
* Support for out-of-line defined partial class template specializations

Metrowerks Standard Library 11.0 (C89/C99)
* Implemented �safer� (a.k.a. �secure�) library extensions being 
proposed by the C0x working group
* Added a number of common POSIX reentrant functions for PEF programming 
(asctime_r, ctime_r, localtime_r, gmtime_r, rand_r, readdir_r, 
strerror_r, strtok_r)
* Uses a couple more Mach-O system functions for faster memcpy, memmove, 
memset, memchr, and memcmp
* Mach-O Dynamic library for MSL C & MSL C++
* Fix for static destructors not working from bundles - even when 
building with BSD C or using the gcc compiler

Metrowerks Standard Library 11.0 (C++)
* Added ability to use move semantics (rvalue reference) for drastic 
(revolutionary!) performance increases
* Added <bind> and mem_fn from the C++ TR1 addendum
* When using MSL C++ on top of BSD C (Mach-O), the standard MSL C++ 
headers import items from the global namespace into the std namespace

PowerPlant / PowerPlant X
* Nothing new in traditional PowerPlant, just bug fixes
* PPx can now directly deal with .nib files
* PPx can deal with SearchField, SegmentedView, TextView (HIView-savvy 
replacement for MLTEView), and UserPane
* New PPx wrappers for CGClorSpace, CGDataProvider, and CGImage
* Enhanced support for the DataBrowser control
* PPxNavServices allows the addition of custom filter and preview 
callbacks

PowerPlant, PowerPlant X, and Constructor is to be Open Source!

Any news on the licence?

Will there be support for instruction scheduling for the G5?  Even when
creating PPC32 binaries?

While the current PPC code scheduling is OK, CodeWarrior has never
scheduled code properly for the G5.  It hasn't taken into consideration
the longer latencies that instructions take on the G5 vs. the G4.  In
highly performance critical code this can cause unnecessary stalls and
GCC often generates code that beats CodeWarrior.

I assume that for PPC64 code generation you'll be scheduling for the
G5, but will you also be able to schedule for the G5 for 32-bit
targets?

Thanks!

I believe so.
