Quick Gary Hare IRC report, no more 3rd party AmigaOS after OS4.0.

[Karlos]

One thing that's been made very clear is that all future software development will be brought inhouse. IE Hyperion will NOT be producing OS4.1+.

Typical, get Hyperion to do the hard work making 4.0, then take it all out of their hands again :-/

Sure it's the same guy... you do know that "coding" is Scotish slang for Bullsh1ting, right? ;-)

He had no reason to make it up though.  He knew nothing about Amiga's, and up to that point knew nothing about my interest in them either as I'd only just started working with him.

Mark (the scottish bloke) was a Java programmer though, which as everyone knows isn't real programming! ;-)

C, C++, asm or dead. Nothing else counts. Java is a programming language proper and might be the pinnacle of aspiration for script kiddies, but give me a healthy dose of of the others any day :lol:

Not that I object to playing with the OS that much sooner, it's just that I wouldn't be much help to the team....

Well, given the way work etc is going, I've been as much use as a chocolate teapot for the last few months :-(

Comments made in this thread and in the IRC chat seem to suggest that they have some legal ability to enhance OS 4 beyond the initial release.

I hope so. Frankly, I don't trust Amiga Inc's ability to pour pee out of a boot with clear instructions on the heel.
