Folks,I think that Amiga Forever is all the "official" Amiga OS we're ever going to see.
Cloanto has tweaked it to something between 3.1 and 3.9.
I suppose if you are REAL hard-core you could build your own Amiga hardware minimig style and buy Amiga OS 3.9 for it.I see Amiga OS 3.5 and 3.9 is still available for sale from dealers,or at least their websites show it.
Of course it could be said that anyone who hasn't upgraded to at least 3.1 or better isn't serious.
Now that memory is so cheap and old Motorola processors as well,I wonder if anyone has the expertise and interest to make a processor upgrade board for the old machines ? How many old A2000s still could be easily? jumped up to '040. We are in "Model T" mode here;hobbyists enjoying playing with a piece of technology that was important in the development of the industry, but that has since fallen behind the standards of today.
I doubt the rest of us will ever see Amiga OS 4.0 before"the One who left us here returns for us at last"
Maybe there should be a high-end "minimig". So we can have something to work with. Ie 68060 + fpga + 64MB sdram or such. One could even take a $120 dvd player and rip out it's contents and replace with a "portable A4000T".
I don't expect anything positive to come from official channels. Only lawsuits or other counter progressive initiatives.
