Title: MUI4.0 (2015R1) for AOS4 and AOS3 Released
Post by: eliyahu on February 16, 2015, 12:03:14 AM
From the MUI for AmigaOS (http://muidev.de) developers:

Quote
The MUI for AmigaOS development team is proud to announce the  immediate release of version 4.0-2015R1 of the Magic User Interface for  AmigaOS4/PPC and AmigaOS3/m68k as well as the final release of version  3.9 2015R1 for AmigaOS3/m68k. Please find the release archives in our  download section. Like  all former releases a keyfile is required to enable all available  settings. Old keyfiles from MUI 3.8 can be used without any restriction.

This is the first public release of MUI4 for AmigaOS3/m68k after it has been distributed together with AmiKit8 already.

Please  note that MUI4 for AmigaOS3/m68k is definitely targeted at powerful  systems with a fast CPU and a fast graphic board. Although it is still  possible to run this release on a real 68k machine an emulation like  WinUAE is very highly recommended. Also colour-mapped screens with 256  colours at most are still supported, but MUI4 makes heavy use of fancy  true-colour images and effects which cannot be provided on colour-mapped  screens with the full range of possibilities.

Please also note  that this will be the last and final release of MUI 3.9 for AmigaOS3.  All further development efforts will be put into MUI4.
You can get the latest copies of MUI4 for both AOS3 and AOS4 at download.muidev.de (http://download.muidev.de) as of now.

no. MUI for AOS3/4 is not the same as MUI4 for MOS. broadly compatible, but not entirely.

When I click on the provided link, everything works perfectly.

I get taken to:

And all the MUI downloads are there.

I don't want to start "talking sh*t", but I've read in other places that MUI4 for OS3 was really buggy.  Any confirmed reports from users that have it working well?  Does it install directly over the old 3.8, or would it be better to wipe the old version and do a fresh install?

I want to believe!  :)

Does MUI4 support WB 3.1?
 I tried it but it seems to require a higher version of mathieeedoubbas.library.
Thanks.

MUI4 here is a "backport" of MUI4 for OS4, which is a reimplementation of MUI4, as found in MorphOS, for OS4. I don't know how much code is shared between this MUI4 and MUI4 in MorphOS, but they are certainly not 100% compatible, and as time goes and they develop each in their own direction, who knows how it will end up. And then there is Zune. It is truly a messy situation with all these randomly compatible incarnations of MUI.

No. MUI is now at version 4.2 so OS3/OS4 developers have some work to do.

MUI4 for OS3 is what you can call a Quick&Dirty recompile of MUI4 for OS4, you may want to stay with MUI3.8 on OS3 for now if you want stability and compatibility.
