Title: Public Release of MorphOS 3.8 Featuring Sam460 Support
Post by: Andre.Siegel on May 15, 2015, 12:00:18 PM
The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.8, which introduces support for ACube´s Sam460 series of mainboards and numerous Radeon graphics cards from AMD´s X1000 and HD series. In addition to various performance improvements related to the Quark kernel, Exec, 3D graphics and video playback, MorphOS 3.8 also adds the ability to use state-of-the-art 4K displays in their native resolution. For a more extensive overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.

As usual, existing MorphOS users can update to the latest release entirely for free. Sam460 owners who are interested to register MorphOS for their system will be able to do so for 49 EUR.

We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.8 is available for download in our files section.

Things like this always happen when I am away from home.
Looking forward to trying this release.
It contains most of what the developers have been hinting about.

Same procedure as always¹. Download, install, enjoy! So far everything just works.

¹ Okay with the 0.4 release things were a bit more complicated and also some 1.x releases had a few quirks, but since the 2.0 release it's always a pleasure to update.

No problem installing on my mini G4. In fact, this is the first I am using wireless networking and it is great.

When booting from the CD on my G5 dual 2.0, everything is slow. I did not want go forward with the update at that point.
