Even earlier release dates have been "expected", e.g.:

"The timeline for development will extend from the initial release, in 'Summer 2001' to the release of OS5 'late next year' (Winter 2002)."

Further, in a development update (dated 21 January 2002), Hyperion stated that

"As we have taken on more work (Intuition etc.) and folded some of the functionality originally planned for OS 4.2 into OS 4.0, this inevitably means the original February release-date might slip somewhat but all in all we believe that the end-result will be technologically more satisfying."

Btw, a funny part: "I'm very pleased to say that Dave Haynie has agreed to serve as a technical consultant."
