AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5 CD for the AmigaONE X1000 "First Contact" system has gone GOLD!

Again with the "GONE GOLD", as if OS4 has sold over 500,000 copies.

A-Eon=hardware - Hyperion=software

A-Eon talking about s/w is akin to Apple talking about MorphOS. It makes no sense.
I'm sure the Hyperion blog will cover what you are asking.

Normally you're on the ball #6, but in this case not so much. One of the reasons kas1e decided to stop OS4 development was because Hyperion doesn't post that kind of information, and ssolie even confirmed that they do not plan to. I expect what will be in the official support blog is a vague " bug fixes and/or improvements" with no specific or useful technical information.

Also, yes, it's A-eon on the hardware side, but it's up to Hyperion to make OS4 take full advantage of the hardware on the X1000, which it currently does not (to put it mildly). Thankfully Varisys ported Linux so the boards aren't completely useless.

"going gold"—is a term used when software is ready for or has been delivered or provided to the customer.

I think they're just stating it as it is

Sounds like somebody is deliberately confusing it with the term "gone live" which actually is used in the world of professional software development. But if it makes somebody at Hyperion feel like OS4 is a lot bigger than it actually is, good for them.
