AmigaOS changelog of sorts?
« on: August 28, 2003, 02:00:35 PM »
I couldn't think of a decent subject for this topic, but there seem to be quite a few questions regarding what key features came in with different versions of AmigaOS.  Maybe someone should compile this info onto a few web pages, or into pages on that wiki site that was advertised recently?

Things like when hard disk support was improved, when CDFS support came in, etc.

Hmm, that nostalgia page has reminded me how butt-ugly AmigaOS has always looked by default, mainly in the fonts department :-)  The only version that doesn't make me immediately think that is 1.3, despite 4 colours...

And people are complaining about OS4's default theme?

Topaz is the default font for 1.3 as well :-)

One thing is the ultra-dreary colour scheme by default on >v2.

Admittedly OS 1.3 suffered from a lack of standard on icon design, but by default the icons on >v2 are horrendous, IMO.

From what I've seen of the default theme on OS4, I quite like.  It's a reasonably good-looking default.

Thanks, but I used the word changelog for lack of a better one, I didn't mean replicate exactly what changelogs look like.

Just somewhere where users can be directed with confidence that the question will be answered regarding what has changed between OS versions.  That website (the nostalgia one) covered quite a few things, though didn't OS 2.x have 2GB disk partition limitations, and OS 3.1 having 4GB limitation?
