Apparently this news article has made it to that slash place. Hopefully we are receiving good publicity, and that a few idiots are ruining it for the whole Amiga scene

Yeah, there are a few there that like (very much like) to put down anything to do with Amiga, but notice that one little mention that OS4 is ready to send to duplication, and AW.net gets

slashdotted!

It seems that there's an awful lot of non-vocal types that are very interested in what goes on in Amigaland!

Also, I gotta do this again: and to Hyperion and the testers.

I think he needs some of these to relax!

Here there is a video which was captured on AmigaONE SE-G3 600mhz, in the same time a internet connection also was estabilished with dhcp:

Is clib2 a port of Linux's glibc then?

No, that's a new implementation by Olaf Barthel. And it's static. Newlib is shared.

Quote:

but will I eventually have a collection of "libc.library"s in LIBS:

No, definitely not. There's only one newlib.library. If there's really the need for different versions, the new library system can cope with this by providing separate interfaces. In OS4, one library can provide several versions of the same interface. This makes it possible to share code between the interfaces that didn't change, reducing the overal code size, and providing full backward and forward compatbilitily.

I think its more like anything that *isn't* Linux.

I stopped reading comments on that site ages ago because of too many trolls writing things like - The Amiga was a great computer 15 years ago but I don't think... blah blah blah

Still its all good publicity, may bring some true Amiga fans with spare cash back to the fold.

Please one question:

Can we see in the OS4 final version the WarpOS and/or WarpUP library ?

Can i play in the near future for example, Wipeout 2097 of my new AmigaOne ?

Thanks in advance

No. Clib2 is a from-the-ground new implementation from Olaf Barthel and others.

Thanks to the versioning in OpenLibrary we won't quite have DLL Hell, but will I eventually have a collection of "libc.library"s in LIBS:?

Note that Clib2 is static. Newlib is a shared library. The interfacing used in AmigaOS 4.0 will allow you to keep more than one version of the interface within a library, meaning that even incompatible changes will not result in more than one newlib.library.

Totally 'tastic! Great news - well done and thanks tou everyone involved!

Good timing, too - it's annual pay review and bonus time, which means that I can finally afford an A1! Yay! [rubs hands in glee]

OT: Does anybody knows how long does OS4 takes to boot in a G4 A1?

I just tried on my machine. Here's the times:

a) switching on the machine (cold start)
42 seconds. This could be improved, I have a rather long autoboot-delay (six seconds) and the startup sequence is somewhat crowded (you can delete empty lines and comments to speed things up)

b) pressing ctrl-amiga-amiga (warm start)
12 seconds

@ JamieS

Reckon it'll hit 20000 in say two hours?

To quote Big Kev, "I'm excited!!" In fact, I'm excited, my kids are excited (maybe not, they're both less than 5)... Even my cat's excited (It must be, I just saw it move and it didn't have to be "nudged" with a slipper first). It's been a long time in coming, and I swore that when this day happened I would finally do the Nana Dance, so here it it:



Believe me, this is as close as you ever want to see me get to actually dancing. (If the people who came up with the expression "Dances like a white man" ever saw me in action they'd really know what they were talking about.... )

You need another one to play when the computer is actually ready to use.
Maybe add more for malfunctions and then we'll have music all day.

Heh, if I didn't have work tomorrow, I would sit here and make sure it hit 30,000 in 1 hour!

'whats this ? its got a good beat !' (spot the ref).

yup -still excited ... roll on 10 (ish) days ! (although thats probably the timing to get masters off to dealers)

@Rogue

Any ideas on that the limits on th hard drive are?

In terms of max size? (I heard it may be 128GB, but is that in one patition or for the whole hd)

Also what is the max file size we can have on it? I want to create dvds but if the filesize limit is only 2Gb then it might be tricky creating image miles.
