The Classic Amiga community has a lot to celebrate today. Magic User Interface (MUI) has been brought back to life. This upgrade, exclusively released for AmiKit, is a milestone for classic AmigaOS3 users!
THE DREAM HAS COME TRUE!
After more than 17 years since MUI 3.8 was released the new upgrade brings the same experience as AmigaOS4 users have been enjoying for some time. Actually, MUI 4 for AmigaOS4 and MUI 4 for AmigaOS3 are built from the same source code, so any similarities between the two builds are 100% intended! Thanks to Thore Böckelmann and Jens Maus.
Thank you to all of you wonderful people using AmiKit. You, yes you, are the key to our motivation. Your interest and feedback mean the world to us. Come participate in our Forums (http://forum.amiga.sk/) or get in touch via Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/AmiKit) or Twitter (http://twitter.com/AmiKit_Amiga). We love hearing from you!

This is really cool! Thanx man!! Working beautifully!
-
Nice! AmiKit is one of the unsung heroes of the Amiga software scene, never gets anywhere near the recognition it deserves.
Thanks a bunch to the devs for their hard work!
-
Great.
-
Thank you! I just ordered it and donated, can't wait to get the flash drive.
-
Ordered and donated last week as well! Great stuff!
-
Thank you! Just ordered and donated :)
-
Ordered, donated, now awaiting arrival. :-)
-
This looks great!
The drives are sold out so I made a donation anyway.
I didn't want to feel like a freeloader and I'd like to see it continue.
-
I believe the Amiga is still alive.
It is growing stronger every day.
-
Thank you so much for all your feedback. It's amazing!!
AmiKit 8 is now available for download. Enjoy!

@Amikit
It is nice to see you got MUI4 built-in.
I was wondering if its going to be supported/updated by the MUI Team, because if not it should be better to keep MUI 3.9R3 that is receiving constant support & updates.

I am wondering where is your wondering coming from. MUI 4 is an official update supported by MUI team. There's even a bugtracker thread at http://www.muidev.de for collecting bugreports...

I know about MUI 4 and the current development page but...
I am wondering on MUI4 for 3.x which seems that there are no more builds, except yours, (no night builds) and it doesnt even appear in the download page at https://muidev.de/downloads

Same here, I've only seen it available through AmiKit.

Buildt from same sources as MUI4 for OS4 - it compiles, it runs, ship it! :)

That's exactly what "exclusively" means as mentioned in news announcement. The public release will follow later.
And like kolla said, the sources for OS3.x and OS4 are the same.

It's no longer exclusive. I stole them and transferred them also to my real Amiga :P

@Ancalimon
Enjoy :) And you have a nice HW!

Looking forward to you giving credit to the appropriate authors for their work on MUI4.
tsk tsk.
EDIT: By "giving credit", also means asking permission.

Wow. Just wow.

@thread
to be absolutely clear: the issue about MUI4's autodocs has nothing whatsoever to do with this thread. the MUI4 guys right now are doing a bunch of work to scrub all the documentation to make things right, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with amikit. please go visit AWN if you want to chime in on that subject and not pollute this thread. thanks in advance.

Jan,
You are correct. I replied in error without properly understanding what was being distributed. I apologize publicly for my errant reply.
-
A more important question is if MUI4 is MUI4 compatible :)
-
@kolla
Try it yourself. AmiKit is free :)
If you encounter any MUI4 related bugs, please report them at http://muidev.de
