As a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Amiga computer, Hyperion Entertainment has made a video using the Gource CVS visualization software showing a time-compressed version of 25 years of Amiga development, from the early days of AmigaOS 1.0 to the present. Personal commentary added by one of the current core full-time AmigaOS developers, Hans-Joerg Frieden (a.k.a. "Rogue")

This video was intended for people's enjoyment, and congratulations you have managed to turn it into yet another F***ing flamefest. You must be awfully proud of yourselves.

I & most others enjoyed the video very much, however, this thread was not very enjoyable..

A troll by themselves can only achive their goal if others hit back, & Rogue, you others did your part to keep the flames going. I get a bit tired of everyone bitching about the trolls disrupting threads when those that respond are doing just as much or more damage to this forum. I know its damn hard not to respond, but this forum has a feature called "PM", please use it instead of posting flames in public. Crying to the mods won't help, we need to do our part to stop the flamefests.

This news thread has gone way off topic. Enough is enough. As these comments are posted onto a news article, it cannot be "closed" like a normal forum post can.

Any more off-topic posts (i.e. unrelated to the actual story - (the video)), will be met with posting restrictions. We (the staff) have asked in many places on many threads for people to respect the site TOS, and to remain on topic and desist from hijacking threads/stories.

Clearly this is beyond some people. I will not ask/post on this again. If you cannot follow these simple instructions, then you may need to go elsewhere for your jollies.

Just for your information, EVERY AmigaOS ALWAYS ran on a third party CPU, because Commodore never built CPUs themselves.


Well, they did buy MOS, who built cpu's, so they did own a cpu manufacturer.
C= never bought Motorola though, so you are correct that they did not build cpu's for the Amiga computers.

MOS Technologies made 8bit cpu's, used in C64 and C128 and other 8bit computers.

@olsen

"I did the conversion and there are no cool stories to tell. The word is "tedious", not "cool". "

So is it your computer to steal for having all release notes from OS1.0 to 4.1?

Don't get any ideas, you might regret them: there are no release notes for anything earlier than 2.0 other than one brief file covering the major changes in 1.3.

As for 2.0 and beyond, the release notes were published on the Amiga Developer CD 2.1 before.

OS4 is a different matter. The beta test group has access to the release notes as part of the testing process, but I do not know if these notes are available to the general public.
