While I appreciate any development my first thought here was, "heh, MOS moves on to MUI5, and suddenly the next release of MUI for AmigaOS is called MUI5.  I guess they wanted to give the impression that MUI for Amiga OS is on par with MUI for MOS".

Is this "MUI5" even the equal of the MOS version of MUI4?
The naming conventions being used here seem all wrong.

And before anyone gets their knickers in a twist and dubs me a troll I use AmigaOS still and have no MOS system anymore. These recent upgrades to AmigaOS MUI however dont sit comfortably with me.

Bit of a sidebar, but I was surprised to find the full MUI3.8, including keyfile on some Amiga Format cover CDs.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

How so?
One is based on official sources and uses a loooong standing, albeit unpopular (sdl) backend, the other is an offshoot which is different to the original, but tries to deceive with naming conventions.

How about removing Chris' post then too?
Its about as relevant as anything I wrote, possibly even less.

Mine was contesting the parallel he draws. Exact same thing, yet his stays.
Whats up with that?

Actually its not the same at all. MUI has been forked, netsurf is based on official sources.

Thanks Thore and Jens,  I'm looking forward to MUI6 ;)

You'll just need to wait until an effort is made to clarify the fact that MOS MUI is infact a different thing which is more advanced than AmigaOS MUI and autodocs are available. As things stand they cant piss all over other peoples work to the degree they seem to like.

Seriously what a joke. Absolutely no shred of ethics.
Time to completely abandon AmigaOS and join in trolling it (deservedly so too).

I actually feel for Hyperion when people from their own camp start working to undo any sense of interest people have in their hard work.

edit: sorry everyone, Im pretty grumpy at the moment. Shame to see a hobby Ive had since the mid 80's become such a farce.
Im done with it.
