This was the final version?

For OS4.0, yes. Final was released December 24, 2006
The contract with AI was terminated just a few days before the announcement, and clearly noted on AI's website.
April 2007 saw the filing of the legal action Amiga Inc. v. Hyperion VOF.
July 2007, saw the release of another update to OS4.0, referred to as the July update. OS4.0 final is considered a combination of the release from December PLUS the update from July 2007.
After that, everything being discussed here is about OS4.1.

How any of this matches with earlier written -plans-, I would not know.

But clearly, 4.0 was expected earlier, if you are to take the former statement made on AI's website seriously:
Quote:

Now scheduled for commercial release in early 2005, AmigaOS 4.0...

since this statement remained on site years after.
It is also clear that communications were non-existent between the parties even back then, as an AI spokesman wrote on AW:
Quote:

If you want amiga.com's information regarding AmigaOS4 to reflect current status, then bug Hyperion to update me with the correct information.
