Announcement   Announcement : AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition available before the end of 2014
   posted by Mason on 26-Oct-2014 19:31:57 (14554 reads)
Brussels, October 27, 2014

Hyperion Entertainment is pleased to announce the imminent availability of "AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition" for all supported platforms.

AmigaOS 4.1 was released in September of 2008 and has seen no less than 6 free major updates and at least 81 smaller updates released through AmiUpdate.



New functionality in AmigaOS 4.1 Final Update includes but is not limited to:

- Extended memory functionality (beneficial for all supported platforms even those platforms which cannot be equipped with more than 2GB)
- Most powerful console for AmigaOS
- New Intuition features
- New Workbench features
- Much improved DOS
- New unified graphics library with RTG support which allows for (current and future) very substantial general and platform specific performance optimizations e.g. through the use of on-chip DMA engines (present on recently released hardware going back to the SAM440)
- Updated Python port
- Installation graphics, new icons and back-drops by Martin Merz
- Countless minor updates, new other functionality and bug-fixes.

AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition requires NO previous version of AmigaOS 4.x and is a stand-alone product, quite possibly the most affordable version of AmigaOS ever to be released.

This frees current users of AmigaOS 4.1 to install the original version of AmigaOS 4.1 and subsequently download or apply 6 updates and countless minor updates.

Users are nevertheless recommended to register their copy of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition on the Hyperion Entertainment website as this will be required for downloading possible future updates and bug fixes.

An updated SDK for developers which exposes all new OS functionality to developers, is being worked on.

Hyperion Entertainment wishes to thank all those developers and contributors who have furthered AmigaOS development over the years and especially those that have worked tirelessly on delivering "AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition" to customers before the end of 2014.

Our thanks go out to all of our supporters and loyal customers who can rest assured that work on AmigaOS 4.2 is ongoing apace albeit somewhat behind schedule due to the fact that substantial time had to be allocated for supporting new upcoming exciting hardware platforms. We appreciate your support!

AmigaOS Final Edition has gone gold and is in production at this time.

Suggested retail price is 29,95 EUR (SRP includes German VAT, may vary depending on your location).

Thanks to all involved parties for making yet another AmigaOS product.

Maybe the next one will be based on a linux kernel - or something that obviously brilliant

30 EUR is a very reasonable price for a system I will mainly use on WinUAE. I'll buy this for sure.

@-Sam-

Will it be available from the AmiStore?


No it will not be available as a download.

@all

I know in the past many have tried updating instead of doing a clean install and had many problems because of it. With FE you WILL most likely end up with a system that WON"T BOOT, BACKUP your sys: partition before you do anything else. all those of you that keep other programs on sys:, tough sh*t, you've got more to backup, set up a separate partition for them.

@ Severin

What's that about ? After installing4.1 fe it most likely will not boot ?
Why is that ?
Isnt that a bit, well.... stupid for a complete clean OS on CD ?

Thats fun for people installing OS4 for the first time after a long time using windows and full of hopes and anticipation....

@Metalheart

He meant (I think) copying OS4.1FE files over existing 4.1 installation. It may work, or not...

F.E. Requires a 600MB Minimum SYS: Partition regardless of the target platform.

Installing over the top of your existing SYS: partition is not supported.
As Severin wrote back it up before you begin and if your SYS: partition is less than 600MB you will also need to resize it.
Of Course you can always create a second 600MB partition with a higher boot priority than you current SYS: partition and install to that or use the BootDevice in the kickstart feature.

600MB??!
Well, the current system is about 400MB, not including any Internet software...

But I will NOT reformat and install clean I have never done that before, and I will not do it now Well, I will probably install in a clean directory, and then I will use BackUp to mirror the new install over my old, then use BackUp to do a Clean in test mode to see if any files became superfluous and needs to be removed. Oh yeah, I'll pull it off! I refuse clean installs!!!
