AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4 News

[HotRod]

Wow.   How is this news, we are bug fixing there might be something new, no timescales.

How is this not news? It is new to me, I wouldn't have known unless the information became available but now I do. Or is it only ok to release updates of AROS/MOS as news? To me there are no difference and it's all good reading. If you don't find it usefull/interesting, don't read it. Easy.

Sorry what I should have said is that it is News , but the News is there is No news.
 
And I would say the same thing if it was an AROS or MorphOS announcement saying nothing as well.
 
But luckily for me MOS devs dont release News until there is some News

Since they always delivers I don't see the problem at all? It's a good thing, now I know that there will be one more free update (at least) before 4.2 is released. That's what many has been wondering so I appreciate it rather than not knowing what to expect.

I think the fact that they have charged for ANY of the updates to AOS4 is scandalous.

lol... isn't that the sound of a MOS fanboy? :-P ... and now the whole flamewar begins...

That is just to tease me and it won't work. I would probably use MOS if I could but this is OT.

If you have an OS which works perfectly until you install a piece of software that doesn't obey guidelines, then yes, I'll blame the software and not the OS. If that makes me like ssolie then that's just fine.

So if I write an OS, and provide guidelines to developers, and then someone writes software that ignores those guidelines, and it breaks a future update - is that my fault or theirs?

This is very true but it became too much when a user had issues with IBrowse IIRC that has worked since forever and still does. Then it must be something else. Also it isn't always very nice to just say "it isn't our software so not our problem". The issue could be something MUI related for example so in that case is it not an issue that should be handled by the OS developers? At least try to help.

If it is some nasty tool from 1991 then I agree though.
