Why? 3.1 has been obsolete for 20 years now. Any modern version of AmigaOS is far more capable.

I didn't just mean OS4; there are later versions than 3.1 for Classic.

Seems pointless if it only covers ancient stuff like GadTools, etc. May as well just use the RKRMs then.

@kolla:

It is in continuing development, along with the rest of the OS. That is not a reason against having tutorials and other such documentation, though.

OS3.2 ReAction has various new classes, features and fixes, but the fundamentals of ReAction will continue to be the same; anything for OS3.9 ReAction should continue to work much the same as before.

And what guarantees are there that what you write here is really correct?

Why wouldn't it be correct? I'm on the team so am in a position to know. But it is fine if you don't want to believe me, I don't care.

Or you can just write that book yourself already?

Why ask a question if you are not going to believe the answer? Just to troll, I suppose.

No - you were the one claiming that this book seems rather pointless since the one thing you care about isn't covered.

I was speaking more generally about the full set of enhancements in eg. OS3.5 and 3.9.
