1. AW Version 6.1
Activeworlds has changed from version 6.0 to version 6.1 (see also on the Wikipages of Activerworlds) . Version 6.1 will be focused on continuing with improving web and media features, and supporting several web applications .
2 . AW Version 7.0
At the same time , the future version 7.0 is announced on these Wikipages. Version 7.0 will be a major update, introducing a new game engine (GEC= game engine core), read on the forum : http://forums.activeworlds.com/read.php?1,362320 , and Activeworlds will use the Angelscript. Angelscript is an openscource (freeware) program and is easy to use. The plan is to make the scripting so that someone who has an idea of PHP can use it too, so that reaches many more developers than hard C/C++/C# coders. However there is some knowledge of programming needed in order to use it , and there should be organized Angelscript classes in Activeworlds for those who want to begin with it. There is a website with information about it : http://angelcode.com/angelscript/.
It's not clear yet if the Angelscript would replace some bot programs or the SDK (Server Development Kit, used for world admin) .
