AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6 has now been released.

More details and a place for registered users to download the update can be found at Hyperion’s main web site.

The following AmigaOS platforms are supported:

AmigaOne X1000
AmigaOne 500 (460ex)
Sam440ep and Sam440ep-flex (all variants)
AmigaOne XE
MicroA1-C
Pegasos II
CyberStorm PPC
Blizzard PPC
Update 6 is a rather unique update in that it includes no bug fixes. What Update 6 does include is a new and more efficient way of delivering bug fixes. A new “Update software…” menu item on Workbench now launches AmiUpdate which will now handle all future AmigaOS software updates.

Since AmiUpdate does not do much without a back end database, a new AmigaOS update database has been created. This database tracks dependencies between components so that users can be assured they are applying the correct updates to their specific systems. The rollback facility may be used to undo updates in the event of problems.

Users are strongly encouraged to install Update 6 as it will be the only way to receive future AmigaOS updates between major releases.

Special thanks to Simon Archer for his amazing AmiUpdate product and the AmigaOS testing team for their invaluable effort on this release.

Everything went smooth with this update on the microAmigaOne:

It's a tiny update, with very little, so no problem shall be expected.

I guess there will be no more announcements of AmigaOS 4.1 updates.

The announcement will come for AmigaOS 4.2.

I have written a blog entry about the installation of AmigaOS4.1 Update 6 on my X1000 if you are interesting in taking a closer look at the installation process and updated programs. Link is here:

Hope you enjoy it! There are also plenty of other blog entries I have written for games and other applications on the X1000 over the past few months if you are interested in looking a bit deeper into my blog! :-)

Doctor Hirudo. Is that your real voice? I have always wondered...

Not so much. This seems to be a dead end -- I didn't see instructions on Hyperion's main web site as to where registered users could download the update -- unless we're supposed to d/l it from the place we ALWAYS download updates from?

you need to log-in to the site, select downloads from the navigation bar at the top of the page, and go to the updates folder. the archive for update 6 is there along with all the others. just like all updates in the past. once installed the first time you run amiupdate it will ask you for your login credentials for updates.amigaos.net -- those are the same user name and password you use on the hyperion website.

nothing big yet -- just an updated calculator utility -- but more is coming in the next few weeks as far as i know.
