If that is the case, how can the pre-release be shipped within 14 days?
Petunia still not in place and Picasso not PPC. I don't dare to ask about SNAP. No sign of the Cyberstorm version either, which was hoped to be a summer 2003 release, even by the developers (i don't want to read Fleecy's column again from last Total Amiga where he hoped for a release party before the end of 2003).
With all respect, i do wonder if it will come out one day  Im my mind, i have given up on it for quite a while already, but one still keeps hope. I do understand the reasons and i do understand the difficult situation and i have a lot of respect for the whole OS4 team, but at the end of the day, it's the result that counts.
Will there never be any good news?

I never read about Bluetooth support in AOS4 before. Great news! I want to connect my A1 to my Sony Ericsson cell phone.  |

The driver is as integrated as drivers go, in that it currently on AmigaOne uses the same .card file the voodoo does, and other than that you copy the .chip file to the proper location. The driver had some bugs, one or two of which were showstoppers but the list of Radeon driver bugs I've seen considered as holding back anything have now been fixed. There's still some more stuff to do, but this is a "prerelease", and things will be a lot better for final release, and it's now reasonable for normal use.

| Ha!
Calm down a little! :)
It says at the bottom: 'No final release date has been announced. The time needed for pending Beta-tests and problem solving cannot be determined with certainty.'
Does this mean a final release date for the pre-release, OS4 or both?
If the pre-release is out in 14 days I will be happier than a big bag full of very happy things! :).
I will have to think very hard about not buying an AmigaOne and breaking my promise to not purchase until full release!
I wish Hyperion all the best and hope they hit pre-release soon now!

| @z5: Will there never be any good news?
What about this? The first release of the beta CD was on January 24th, when it was released to all the betatesters - all independent testers like me and many other regulars on this forum. A number of problems occurred with video cards - there are many variants of them and obviously the developers don't have all of them to test.
That was only six weeks ago. Since then the video card problems have been fixed, the CD installation process has been improved and it's just about ready for widespread release.
I call that good news - but then I'm in a position to see the progress, day by day. You don't hear the betatesters complaining about lack of progress.

| Don't take these 14 days for what it looks like.
From Ben Hermans (Hyperionmp) :
Quote:
Those two weeks refer to the amount of time required to get to gold master status.
it doesn't include production time of at least 10 business days.
|
In this thread.
That means atleast 24 days plus delivery time. And don't be surprised if that ends up being a month away.
So don't come back here complaining about you not having the Prerelese CD in a CD-ROM drive near you in two weeks. Spouting out messages about "they lied!" or whatever.

This I why I think a regular status update to the public would be a good thing.

Note that I never every said anything like what is said in this report. The reason we where using Voodoo's was
- I wanted to run some Warp3D demove
- The install CD I sent to Vesalia had the latest radeon.chip but only an age old radeon.card on it.
I never said anything about "integration", since, as you pointed out, there is nothing to "integrate".
But then, I never said anything about "two weeks" either.
