	hardware OS4 : AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Prerelease CD announced
	posted by Rogue on 25-Dec-2003 14:20:56 (17595 reads)

Hyperion Entertainment and the OS 4.0 development team are pleased to announce that OS4 development has now sufficiently advanced for a comprehensive Developer Pre-release of Amiga OS 4.0 to be distributed to all current AmigaOne owners shortly after the New Year.

Read more for the full press release, including some details:

Leuven, Belgium. - December 25, 2003

Hyperion Entertainment and the OS 4.0 development team are pleased to announce that OS4 development has now sufficiently advanced for a comprehensive Developer Pre-release of Amiga OS 4.0 to be distributed to all current AmigaOne owners shortly after the New Year.

In view of the fact that quite a few of you reminded us that you do not have broadband internet access, the original idea to offer an initial version of OS 4.0 for download was abandoned in favor of an "easy to install", self-contained distribution on CD.

Whilst this will obviously entail more cost to Hyperion and require more time for duplication and distribution, the upside is that we will be able to provide developers with everything they need to start developing for OS 4.0.

The developer material will include sample source-code, an initial version of the AmigaOS 4.0 SDK as well as native OS 4.0 compilers (GCC 2.95.3, GCC 3.4 and VBCC) and cross-compilers for various platforms (Linux x86/PCC, Mac OS X etc.).

The Developer Pre-release will require an upgrade of the AmigaOne firmware which was bumped from U-Boot 0.1.1 to U-Boot 1.0 and which is currently undergoing final testing.

Further details will be announced shortly.

Hyperion Entertainment and the OS 4 development team would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support and patience.

The fact that you are still here, 10 years after the demise of Commodore, has been a tremendous encouragement to us during these 2 years of laborious development.

Make no mistake: your patience will finally be rewarded with the fastest and most powerful incarnation of AmigaOS ever.

Merry X-mas and a prosperous 2004 to all of you!

Excellent news. I knew something was going on earlier when I saw HyperionMP, Rogue, and EntilZha all here at once. This is just what I was hoping, but even better, two announcements at that. Great work guys.

Hey Master Chef Ikir,

Now that's the
yummiest Yuletide spam dinner
I've ever had the joy of dining on!!!!!!!! (Need some virtual ketchup, though. )

What kind of whine would One receive from "certain others" for such a bounty???

This is only the SECOND most important announcement we will receive!!!! The OS in it's full operational status can't be far behind!!!!

Expect it baby; !!!!!!

AmigaOne! AOS4.0! Change the rules, show the TRUE "Golden Path" to Utopia!!!

Hi,

Why not permit those of us with broadband to download the CD direct while those without can wait for the physical product?

That way Hyperion conserve time & money while meeting everyone's needs.

That way broadband users will have the CD today... or whenever it's ready instead of next week/next month when our CD's finally get to us.

YAHOOOOO!!!

What's almost as good as getting the Christmas present you'd most hoped for? Getting a cable saying it's on it's way! Come by my place for free egg nog in celebration!

Linux, your days on my machine are numbered!!

Wo-hooo!

This announcement must be the second best christmas present ever! The best? Getting my hands on that CD!

Though with this announcement made on the 25th of december, it seems that the Hyperion crew didn't follow our orders and take those well-earned few days off for christmas, shame on you!

Can't wait can't wait can't wait!
