Announcement   Announcement : AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold
   posted by Orgin on 16-Apr-2004 20:55:29 (94133 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.

Great news!

I'll wait to pop the Champain though for when I finally do get it in hand, that is unless I forget where I put it and don't find it before it gets here. It's been so long!

Thanks Hyperion for putting up with the continous wine!, it's just about time for me to have a glass of my own! It is a good day!

Hey, that's great news indeed.

I would like to say thanks to Hyperion for very much effort put into this release.
Also unto all the good folks who have struggled to get the hardware right, and out the door.

A special thanks goes out to Amiga Inc. for thier great patience and belief in the Amiga platform.

Especially Bill McEwen and Fleecy who I am sure will not get their well deserved praise through very painful times brought on by those who would see Amiga's demise.

I see ya Bill!

Thanks to all of the hard working people who have put thier own households on the line to see the continuation of Amiga!

Great work guys.

And also thanks to this web site for hanging in there and being here for those who have a dream.
Whatever that dream may be.

My dream is to see a computing world that offers you a wide choice of OS and software to run on a custom built computer.

Wonderful!

It's coming home,
It's coming home,
It's coming,
OS4 is coming home...
Everyone seems to know the score,
They've heardit all before,
They just know,
They're so sure,
That Hyperion is Gonna throw it away,
Gonna blow it away,
But know they can code,
'Cause I remember...
Three Boings on a shirt,
OS4 is gleaming,
Thirty months of hurt,
Never stopped me dreaming.

So many jokes, so many sneers,
But all those oh-so-nears,
Wear you down,
Through the years,
But I still see that coding by Rouge
And that exe by Haeuser.
Entilza checking that code,
And Hermans Dancing...
Three Boings on a shirt,
AOS4 is gleaming,
Thirty months of hurt,
Never stopped me dreaming.

It's coming home,
It's coming home,
It's coming,
OS4 is coming home...

(With huge apologies to Baddiel, Skinner and Lightning Seeds)

Now I can show this thread to my buddies (since I can't afford the pooter I so deeply desire).

Thanks Hyperion


I'd like to say that this is not only "Hyperion" but the tireless work of 35+ developers and 140+ beta testers and translators. Without their continuous effort this would have been impossible.

Thanks to all of them!

By the way...

What does it mean exactly "has gone gold"?

Any person care to explain?

Thanks ahead of time.

@Mountain_Myst:
"gone Gold" means that the master CD is made and thisone will be delivered to the manufacturer.
Since those old days, when the master CD was made with Gold, this alias for the productional master CD is still in use.
