After reading some of the status & documentation
Snip...
Just to back up Fabio here, I'm not sure how you think we have strayed from the original goal...
Which is to recode a platform independant AmigaOS 3.1 clone, which, when run on Amiga hardware can fully replace AmigaOS 3.1 without the Amiga classic hardware or Amiga Classic Software knowing such a change has occured...
As far as I'm aware nothing has changed. Work has been progressing very well in recent times, and the x86 version is well on the way to version 1.0 (the first stable release).
Currently we are deciding on the feature set for V1.0 (which will essentially be an AmigaOS 3.1 clone in terms of features), with extra features (not avaialble in 3.1) added to later revisions.
I would like to point out that AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9 have never been concidered as examples/benchmarks for AROS. We do not plan to include their functionality as it is rather hakishly put together, More elagant solutions are avaialbe to AROS.
It is very important to remember that while extra features and future enhancement may not be included with the first release (which is intended to clone AmigaOS 3.1), we still have to prepare for them and the ground work has been or is being laid to make the inclusion of the improvments as painless as possible.
