Announcement   Announcement : AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold
   posted by Orgin on 16-Apr-2004 20:55:29 (94138 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.

Edit by DaveyD - Some smilies were removed to keep this thread fast to download, think about all those users with 2MB Chip RAM and Dialup users that have to download them

Let me just say .... HOORAYY! My next PC is an A1 with OS4! Whee!

Quote:
* Newlib.library (experimential, shared C library);


Is this the same Newlib targeted for embedded systems? http://sources.redhat.com/newlib/

I was considering it for my HC9S12 project but it's a little large and cumbersome for my tiny $10 IC

If so, can I ask a few questions here...

On a desktop AmigaOS4 system, what benefit does working with Newlib have over the "normal" clib? I'm guessing smaller code, less RAM hungry? Any features it lacks/adds over libc?

Has it been more "amiga-ized" than libc?

Do many apps in OS4 use Newlib?

Congratulations! This just made my day! Cheers

- Paul

Wow, a most pleasant read! Can't wait to see it in my mailbox, and to be installed in my AmigaOne after installing the new UBoot V1.0 at first, of course!

Then i will insert my other 512MB DIMM, so that i will finally have 1GB of memory! Least but not last, i will be able to use my ATI Radeon 9200 card with 256MB of DDR-SDRAM graphic memory!

Good work, guys!
