Announcement   Announcement : AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold
   posted by Orgin on 16-Apr-2004 19:55:29 (95017 reads)
Leuven, Belgium - April 16, 2004. Hyperion Entertainment and the Amiga OS 4.0 development team are extremely pleased and relieved to announce that after nearly 30 months of painstaking development the Amiga OS 4.0 Developer Pre-release has gone gold and will be sent to the duplication plant on Monday, April 19, 2004.


The Amiga OS 4.0 Developer Pre-release consists of a current snapshot of AmigaOS 4.0 for the AmigaOne platform with a straightforward HTML installation guide in English, German, French and Italian as well as the Amiga OS 4.0 SDK.

The Amiga OS 4.0 SDK will allow near effortless migration of existing Amiga OS 3.x source-code to OS 4.0 as well as the creation of altogether new content.

The SDK comprises the following material:

* Complete Installer for easy and painless installation;
* GNU C Compiler 2.95.3;
* GNU C Compiler 3.4.0 RC 1;
* vbcc 0.8f;
* GNU GDB Source-Level Debugger;
* System Includes V 50;
* System Autodocs V 50;
* PDF Documentation on GNU C compilers and GNU Debugger;
* PDF Guide "Project Migration to AmigaOS 4.0";
* Example programs with source (among others: Reaction, expansion library, Roadshow, FFS2);
* Newlib.library (experimential, shared C library);
* CLIB2 source code.

Users will be able to register their copy at a soon-to-be-launched portal site which will offer Amiga OS 4.0 related content for download.

Hyperion Entertainment and the AmigaOS 4.0 development and beta-testing teams wish to thank all of you for your patience.

This is absolutely fantastic news.

When I save up, I'll finally be able to get my millennial Amiga.

@Rogue

How's that throat of yours coming along?

I'd like to say that this is not only "Hyperion" but the tireless work of 35+ developers and 140+ beta testers and translators.

As soon as I have it installed, I'll drink to each and every name in the project credits.

Kudos to the lot of you!


Great, just great...now I can look forward to not getting any sleep for a few weeks again....just like when the A1 arrived.... (Of course, a bit more productive to tinker around with OS4 than to cater for my KMahjong-addiction until 3am every night.. ) But I guess that's a problem I can deal with, really.

@ AmigaOS4 team and everyone else who has made this possible

Congratulations and many thanks for all the blood, sweat and tears you have invested into making this reality! A few years ago a modern PPC native version of AmigaOS seemed to be too much of work to ever come to fruition to me. Now I believe this well-done pre-release will make alot of Amigans happy again. I am glad to see me being proven wrong, but since the team effort under Hyperion's management started I had much faith that this day would come.

We're back.

10 years of nothing and the heart still beats.

Wow. I guess Amiga really does make it possible.

---

Rather typically, just when all the excitement is about to start, I'm on holiday for a week now to the isle of Arran in Scotland. I will be keeping an eye on AW.net through my trusty old IR phone and a laptop (running UAE!).

Well done to Hyperion and everyone else involved - you guys should be taking a break too - you have most definitely earned it!

At last! I can use my Eric Schwarz 'We're Back!' backdrop with real meaning. How about some new art Eric - if you're reading!

You wouldn't believe how slow this site's become since the news!



Edit by DaveyD - Several dozen smilies removed for smilie abuse, think about all those users with 2MB Chip RAM and Dialup users that have to download them

You mean until the CD is produced ? I guess 10 days or so.
