This is brilliant news!

Thanks Hyperion.

I look forward to guidance as to how to upgrade my UBoot as I haven't yet (Had it since June 2003).

Personally, I'm looking forward to playing with Dockies. Has ANYONE created any Dockies yet? Volume controls, online controls, babel fish like plugins, download progress meters, mouse distance-o-meters, weather forcasters, lemmings start & exit doors with lemmings walking in/about/then back out again, trashcan drag n drop plugins, YAM e-mail notifications plugins, emulators in a Dockie (Speccy, UAE, MAME), calculator, a paint pot in a Dockie that you can knock over with your mouse & smear across workbench? ? ? Anything?

Just wondered since I haven't seen any Dockies announced.

FuZion.

. . .  a comprehensive Developer Pre-release of Amiga OS 4.0 to be distributed to all current AmigaOne owners shortly after the New Year.

Those were the important points that (it seems) some missed!

In honour of this auspicious event -- I have changed my avatat! 2004 is the year of the regeneration!

Firstly, congrats and thanx to Hyperion.

I trust this will be made available as a free download; it is in the interests of Hyperion and of the Amiga community in general that the maximum number of developers are given the opportunity to code applications for OS4.

Apparently the ROM Kernal Manuals are being rewritten/updated to cover OS4.0, does anyone know if these will be included in the beta 4.0 NDK? (These would presumably be useful for OS3.9 programmers like myself, as they would presumably cover (for the first time) OS3.x technologies such as ReAction, datatypes, NSDs, etc. Or a list of what else will be included, for that matter?

I notice that cross-development systems for MacOS X, etc. are provided, is a cross-development system to run on OS3.9 also provided?

Cross-Compilers exist for:

- AmigaOS 3.x
- LinuxPPC
- Linux-x86
- Windows
- Mac OS X
- I think also some Unix-dialects, not sure about that
  right now

And of course a native OS 4 compiler :)
