Announcement   Announcement : AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold
   posted by Orgin on 16-Apr-2004 20:55:29 (94141 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.

Or maybe take two of these and call me in the morning....

Hmm, now it seems that we're one step closer to a final release, when it's done. I look forward to reading what all the lucky guys and ladies have to say about the OS.

Since those old days, when the master CD was made with Gold, this alias for the productional master CD is still in use.


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

What, they don't use gold in CD's anymore?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...I remember, when I was a young lad, back in the days.....

What is the state of this pre-release version of AOS4 ? Is the graphics.library (or RTG.library of Picasso) all native PPC ? IS the 68k emulator JIT ? Are the AmiPDF and Ghostscript (which version ??) native PPC ? Is Warp3D integrated in the system ? Can it emulate the classic old warp3D ? Is the Warpos emulation ready ?

Thanks,

Arturo Franzin, Latina - Italy

After 10 years at the big 3.0 , life AGAIN begins for us at the BIG 4.0 ...

Thank you to ALL who have put their heart and soul into AOS4.0 and AmigaOne.

To those who have suffered financial and personal hardship to bring
the AMIGA vision this far, thank you.

To the small, but passionate community of Amiga users world wide,
may we now grow again in size and tenacity. :)


Cheers,

Tim

WOW!

Great night at the football (guess which team), but this just tops it all off!

What a great start to a weekend. Thanks very much to all involved! New AOS on new hardware! Wow light at the end of that long dark tunnel! I can easily wait those couple of extra weeks for it to arrive at my door.

Think I'll have a few drinks this weekend.

Cheers!

Great news!

Thank you to all who made it possible.

I won't sleep now and I've got to fix someones PC in the morning - oh well I'll tell them to get an Amiga instead.

Talking of gold my car is called a Midas Gold and it is white with red wheels (Amiga colours).

Now I have to buy a graphics card and hard drive for my A1 - quickly.

I'll be using my A1 in my next digital photography talk.

A VERY BIG THANK YOU again.

Andy

Well, I'm about as surprised as I am glad.

Great job, Amiga developers.

I wonder if this will now dissolve some of the animosity and infighting.

Anyone know if this ends the earlybird offer, or will the A1's that's sold after this date include the beta version of OS4?......(eventually for extra costs), or does people who sadly don't have an A1 atm have to wait for final release.......??
