Second Beta Release of Timberwolf

[Rogue]

Are they ever going to release the source code per the gpl of firefox or do they still planning on trying to illegally keep their port closed source and try and charge people money for a firefox port which violates the gpl?

Firefox code is MPL. There is nothing wrong with that, and it isn't illegal. Donations are not forced, the program will come out one way or the other.

I'd really recommend to inform yourself first before accusing people of illegal behavior. I'm ready to take your apology.

And will Timberwolf allow you to use Firefox plug-ins?

Add-Ons. Plugins are compiled for the platform they run on and need to be ported.

And in our market competition tends to eliminate other products.

So that means that we should all quit at Workbench 1.0 and not develop it any further because it might eliminate other products? I don't get THAT logic.

Speaking about bugs: If you use Timberwolf and come across some bugs, please make sure to check

http://bugs.os4depot.net/index.php?function=viewsoftware&softwareid=19

Check whether the problem has been reported already, and if not, add a report there with steps to reproduce the error. That will help immensely.

Thanks.

I'll apologize ahead of time for quoting a private e-mail AmigaDave and I exchanged earlier without checking with him first.

"I am afraid that the Frieden's are spending too much time working on  
Timberwolf, instead of working on drivers for the SAM460ex, or X1000.  
I am sure that Timberwolf is important to them, as it might spur more  
hardware purchases, but many people are saying that Timberwolf is  
unusable on any SAM systems and it may never be usable on a SAM."

Now that's the opinion of an OS4 user and advocate who has spent a fair amount of money on an X1000.
Again, sorry David.
But honestly guys, don't the Frieden's have enough work to do without this project?
Where are all the drivers for the on board hardware included in those two systems David mentioned?

This is not a flame.
I've considered an OS4 hardware purchase recently, but the priorities of the developers of my current OS seem much more sensible.
You don't release it till its ready.

I don't know how anybody got this impression, but it is complete and utter bollocks. Actually, for the record, I haven't even touched Timberwolf in, I think, four months or so. All of the recent work was done by my brother.

I find it hilarious, to say the least, that someone claims to know how much time I spent on what project, when he is obviously quite clueless about it.

For the record, I don't even work on drivers. I don't have a SAM 460. I think my brother has one, but I don't. I have an X-1000, but I am currently working exclusively on next gen graphics, and I have been doing this for the last several months.

So, please, for ****** sake, stop spreading idiotic lies and bollocks like this. This so-called community continues to make me sick.

thanks rogue, but I dont use OS4, if you were talking to me. If I hit the lottery anytime soon, then I'll buy an a1x1k, but until then, I'm with my current machines

No, it was just a general message, since I didn't know whether it was part of the announcement or not. The bug tracker helps us keep track of what is left to be done.

Then I think you may have been greatly overestimating the accumulated sales of OS4, Gorky 17, Shogo, SiN, Quake2 etc during the last decade...

See, what the hell? Why do you think that you are in a position to say this? For the record, I *AM* being paid by Hyperion. I work for Hyperion full-time.

Seriously, what the **** is wrong with you guys? Is your hatred and envy so far that you cannot skip even the slightest chance to slander your competition? What a sorry bunch you are.
