EDGE now has its own forums! This one is much better than the old SourceForge forums. Just click on the "Forums" link near the top of the navigation menu. Hope to see you there!

We're very happy to announce that Release Candidate #5 for EDGE 1.29 is now available for testing. The two most significant changes are: (1) replacing the OpenAL sound system with new SDL-based sound code, and (2) much improved BOOM compatibility. Plus of course lots of bug fixing.

I'm back from China and keen to get stuck into some EDGE stuff. For starters, I have converted the ChangeLog files into HTML and uploaded them to the new EDGE website.

Some screenshots of EDGE have been added to the website. Suggestions for more screenshots (or better ones) are welcome, just drop me a note on the forum or via email.

A quick note to say that I'm pretty busy right now, with an exam next week and a six-week trip to China shortly after that. Hence there won't be much progress with EDGE until I get back, although I'm hoping to at least get the RC5 binary out before I go.

I'm very pleased to announce that the RTS documentation is back online. It has been rewritten as normal documentation, replacing the "build your own script" functionality that Fanatic's original version had. Plus everything has been updated for the latest version of EDGE.

A big thanks to Lobo for doing most of the grunt-work of converting this documentation from the old format.

The brand spanking new EDGE website is now up! Many sections are still being developed (all the grayed-out links in the navigation menu), and will be added as soon as they are completed.

Andrew "DarkKnight" Baker has decided that it's time to move on. He was the project leader of EDGE since the beginning, and before that was an active member of DosDOOM (the forerunner to EDGE).

Everyone here wishes DarkKnight all the best in his future endeavours, and we thank him for his immense contribution.

Picking up the baton is Andrew Apted, and with the help of Luke "Lobo" Brennan, everything is rolling to get the 1.29 release over the finish line.
