Announcement   Announcement : AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold
   posted by Orgin on 16-Apr-2004 20:55:29 (94140 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.

@mrsad,

I'm English, (AND I live in the Black Country!) so I can always find something to complain about - try the weather...

Hi Amigans,

Developers Day is over, but who cares due to such GREAT news?

THANK YOU

to all the developers (especially HYPERION) who made this possible,
to all people who believed in the dream, to all who "finally" stopped
whining and started believing in the project,
to all of you out there keeping AMIGA alive and especially

to "Dollar"-Bill Gates!!!

WHY?

He is the one who still keeps me from switching to PC/M$!!!

Stop crying BillyBoy, calm down, sweep your tears and then turn around
and GO WERE YOU CAME FROM, CAUSE WE ARE definitely B A C K !!!

30 month for the prerelease... then another x months before everything is ready for the bigger community... then another x months before it's available for my CSPPC and then another x months before it's available for my BPPC. I fear another year or two of waiting before I'll be realy happy... but excelent news never the less.

I just went over to take a look, I bet that thread turns into a triple digit before the weekend is out.

The high (low?) lights so far:

* Nate Downes arguing that Hyperion is guilty of false advertising, by cleverly using the music industry definition of "going gold" (ie selling 1/2 million copies) instead of the computer industry definition (master is ready for pressing). Since Hyperion clearly hasn't sold 500K copies, they're all going to hell/jail/whatever. Maybe Nate should go and take some debating lessons.

* Rich Woods with yet another enigmatic pronouncement, apparently Genesi has "an upcoming announcement" that "will suprise a lot of people". Fair enough, I would also insert the words "and infuriate"; that's what Bill Buck likes to do with his announcements, so nothing new there. I wonder what Rich's stake is in this, since Amiga Inc (his usual target) isn't involved any more. Unless he's decided to come out of the closet and admit he's just another Buck fanboy.


I don't want to turn this beautiful thread around ... (here comes a 'but') BUT This is hilarilus!!!



Hang in there guys.. You'll all welcome back now..

Thank you! Have been reading/lurking for AAAAAGES although I do sometimes pop by #amigaworld. I thought given the news, this was a most excellent time to step out of the shadows!

The CD wasn't made of gold you muppet, it just had a gold colour to it from the way it was made.

Actually the master CD from which all of the rest of the CD's are made - is made of gold...

Hence the expression "has gone gold".
