Any news on OS4 release date?

[alx]

If you look at the presentation from the French demonstration, then you can see what's done.  The feature list is complete, apart from some Exec stuff (nonessensial), a PPC native media player, native browser, 3D API and some localisation.  The rest is either in 68k or PPC.  It's not too far off :-)

plus the porting of the SNAP drivers...

AFAIK they will only be on the A1 version.  Does anyone know how hard it would be to integrate them?

When I said "Complete", I was quoting from the slides:

Missing functions of OS4 to date compared to the "OS4 feature list 1.0"
Some non-essential functions of ExecSG (further detailed with § «  ExecSG » )
Modern native PPC media player (L. Torok is working on MooVid OS4)
Native browser
New API 3D (An OpenGL orientated NOVA specification is being worked at, possibility of a Warp3D wrapper is being studied)
Localization of all parts of the system (ATO; approx. 50% complete)

All of the other announced functions are complete, and in the course of being betatested on 68k or PPC

That, of course, does not mean that the entire OS is complete, and I'd probably agree with the more optimistic end of Wayne's estimation.
