Woooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This made my day, BIGTIME!
Just celebrated with a pizza and a beer, i'm on my second beer now, running Update 4, and just enjoying myself! =) Hugs, Love and kisses to all involved in the process!

(small, small bugreport, when hdtoolbox launched the background picture was garbled, and when I quit back to wb, all was fine again. small glitch, just thought i'd mention it.)

Congratulations to Hyperion and all partners involved in the AmigaOS development. You have achived so much, that the naysayers of the past looks like a bunch of fools by now.

Now how do you think they'll react when you suddenly one day throws the final PPC AOS on multiple hardware options on the street

Way to go boys (and gals if there is anyone )

Those of you wondering about the performance..

Well it's quite fast now Actually several times faster than
update 3 (68k apps). Also the no flickering of resized programs
rules, although IBrowse (all MUI apps?) flickers as hell when resized.
Screen dragging works as you would like, maybe even better.
Everything is speedier, network, disc access & general usage.

Alot of fine touches here and there.. All in all it seems more
like a final product than update 3 did.

Can't down load with Dial up, because my Stupid ISP cuts me off after 2 hours, any getright/resume programs work with this? All the ones I've tried don't work, Opera can't remember passwords long enough, Firefox resume dosn't work, and I can't seem to get any IE6 Plug in programs (Internet DOwnload Manager) to work..

No direct file link you see

Any ideas when "All-new Warp3D" will have support for Radeon 8500 ?





But will there be a new update of the Warp3D drivers released before OS 4 final when/if the problem is solved or will we have to wait for OS 4 final?

Great work. Thnx Rogue and Hyperion.
Now just to get that hardware issue sorted out so that we all can enjoy the great OS4
and start to brag about it to the rest of the world



edit: typo, well sorry about that. I am up and running for quite some time now,
studying for my exam in Java next week so I hope you understand that my concentration level is not
in its peak

Great work, Hyperion and the beta crew.

Any news on the updated SDK? what version of gcc, any updates to clib2, new docs, etc? (I'm not going to ask "when" )

Screenshots! Where are they? Anything new/different, pictures!

I really appreciate and admire the amount of work that has gone into creating AmigaOS 4. It's been a very long ride! A lot of time, effort, tears (hopefully not blood) I'm sure. All it needs now is a new available nicely priced hardware platform for the official release.

I think you guys need a nice relaxing holiday a long way away from computers and amiga users.

Oh, and screenshots of new stuff!

@Hattig,

A lot of the work seems to have taken place under the hood - JIT, Amiga Input,
Screen Dragging, Bug Fixes.

It's hard to show these things in screenshots! But as a system it's cool,
smooth and fast!

Cheers,
Bean.
