The legend returns: New AmiKit 8 with MUI 4 released!
« on: December 03, 2014, 07:22:13 PM »
The Classic Amiga community has a lot to celebrate today. Magic User Interface (MUI) has been brought back to life. This upgrade, exclusively released for AmiKit, is a milestone for classic AmigaOS3 users!

THE DREAM HAS COME TRUE!
After more than 17 years since MUI 3.8 was released the new upgrade brings the same experience as AmigaOS4 users have been enjoying for some time. Actually, MUI 4 for AmigaOS4 and MUI 4 for AmigaOS3 are built from the same source code, so any similarities between the two builds are 100% intended! Thanks to Thore Böckelmann and Jens Maus.

Thank you to all of you wonderful people using AmiKit. You, yes you, are the key to our motivation. Your interest and feedback mean the world to us. Come participate in our Forums or get in touch via Facebook or Twitter. We love hearing from you!

WHAT IS AMIKIT?
AmiKit is a free project, powered by enthusiasm, that turns your computer, tablet or phone into legendary Amiga computer. This emulated software package includes more than 350 of the finest Amiga programs. Everything is polished and pre-configured at your service.

REQUIREMENTS?
AmiKit is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and as a LIVE BOOT distribution called AmiPUP. Version for real Amiga will follow. For AmiKit to work you do need AmigaOS and ROM file (included with Amiga Forever, for instance).

SCREENSHOTS





WHAT'S NEW?
The 8th major update of AmiKit exclusively integrates Magic User Interface 4 and new NetSurf web browser. AmiKit 8 delivers new software, updates, graphics, improvements & fixes. Also MorpheuZ got new powers. Now you can control even more AmiKit features with this magic daemon. Check it out for yourself! Tons of other software has been updated in this release too including system optimizations. Icons now load faster, alpha channel transparency is supported, windows performs more effectively, memory fragmentation has been decreased, etc.

Nice!  AmiKit is one of the unsung heroes of the Amiga software scene, never gets anywhere near the recognition it deserves.

Thanks a bunch to the devs for their hard work!

This looks great!

The drives are sold out so I made a donation anyway.

I didn't want to feel like a freeloader and I'd like to see it continue.

@Amikit

It is nice to see you got MUI4 built-in.
I was wondering if its going to be supported/updated by the MUI Team, because if not it should be better to keep MUI 3.9R3 that is receiving constant support & updates.

I am wondering where is your wondering coming from. MUI 4 is an official update supported by MUI team. There's even a bugtracker thread at http://www.muidev.de for collecting bugreports...

I know about MUI 4 and the current development page but...

I am wondering on MUI4 for 3.x which seems that there are no more builds, except yours, (no night builds) and it doesnt even appear in the download page at https://muidev.de/downloads

Same here, I've only seen it available through AmiKit.
