Title: AROS 64-bit 20250418
Post by: deadwood on April 23, 2025, 02:28:42 PM
We are happy to announce availability of initial stable bootable ISO of 64-bit AROS. Switching to 64-bit architecture will allow AROS to keep up to date with technology and other open source projects which are more and more favoring 64-bit as well. In coming months Odyssey Web Browser will be updated with more powerful and modern versions of WebKit engine, utilizing larger amounts of RAM and 64-bit JIT compilation allowing today's websites to be used on AROS in comfortable way. Latest Amiga emulation cores, again with 64-bit JIT, will also become available and better integrated into the system.

If you'd like to try this initial release, please visit this page: arosworld.org (https://arosworld.org/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1411&pid=8193#post_8193)

Distributions using this base system are already in development and should be available soon.

On Amiga's 40th anniversary, join AROS community as we migrate this year to 64-bits!

Great thank you.
I've now got two ASUS netbooks which are both capable of running AROS 64-bit. Thanks to one of the attendees at MAE I've got AROS installed on one and tested a live image (no install) on the other.
