os4

Thanks to the work of Massimo Tantignone and Elena Novaretti, PowerIcons has now been ported to AmigaOS 4.0. Screenshots are available <a href=http://www.hyperion-entertainment.com/powericonsnap1.png>here</a&gt; and <a href=http://www.hyperion-entertainment.com/powericonsnap2.png>here</a&gt;

Theres an OS4 event to be help on the 15th of May in Essen, Germany.

The Hyperion team: Hans Jörg and Thomas Frieden (Chief programmers of AOS4), Steffen Haeuser (AmigaInput and several OS4 portings) and Timothy De Groote (Sales Manager) will be there showing AmigaOS4 on a MicroA1

The German languaged Amiga portal Amiga-News.de contacted Hyperion to confirm that the AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release will come bundled with newly sold Amiga systems when available.

Customers who acquire an AmigaOne before the publication of the final version of AmigaOS 4 will receive the same support and the same entrance to (on-line available) updates as "Earlybird" owners will be granted. They get the full version of Amiga OS4 delivered subsequently by their dealer, as soon as the finished version is available.

Nicolas Mendoza was kind enough to provide AmigaWorld.net with a few snapshots of the different development tools we'll be able to play with when the AmigaOS 4.0 prerelease CD arrives. Some of it you might have seen before, but it gives a general feeling of what you can expect once you get the CD in your hands.

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.

Taken from AmigaWorld.net:

<i>The HTML procedure that will be included on the Amiga OS4 developer pre-release CD for the AmigaOne has been given to Amigaworld.net for viewing here.

The procedure is simple to follow and will walk users of all experience levels through the painless task of installing the developer pre-release on to an AmigaOne. </i>

Garry Hare is the CEO of the newly formed KMOS inc, which are the new owners of the AmigaOS.

The interview is a good introduction into who Garry is, and how he stands on the legal ranglings surrounding Amiga Inc et all..

Amiga Inc have sold the classic Amiga OS to KMOS

On April 23, 2003 Amiga entered into an Agreement with Itec LLC, later acquired by KMOS, Inc. for the transfer and sale of all of Amiga's right, title, source code, and all versions, from the Classic Amiga Operating System through AmigaOS 4.0 and all subsequent versions to KMOS, Inc.
