OS 4.0 classic - last working AmiUpdate version?

I realised there was a new AmiUpdate available in version 2.1, downloaded it & installed. It won't open, just complains "failed to open update.library 53.5+". I have this library v53.5 in LIBS:. How can i make this work?

Alternatively, if someone knows if version 1.121 works with OS 4.0 or has last working version for 4.0 please let me know.

I have been discussing the same issue with Rigo, who tells me this is because update.library in turn looks to open several other v53 libraries.
OS4 Classic has v52 libraries, so it fails.

Rigo will investigate if dropping the version number will cause any problems, so you may (or may not if its problematic) see an update to allow operation on OS4 Classic.

OK thanks for letting me know. Let's just wait and see what can be done.

@bamiga2002

I have this issue as well - just got back off me 'ols, and fired Amiupdate up, as y'do, and now its bost !
Same symptoms, Except I'm on an A1XE, and it is OS4.1 (I've gone back to the backup after OS4.1.1 stopped on internet usage - but thats another issue!) KS is 53.8, WB is 53.1.

@agafaster

Those of you having problems might be pleased to hear that AmiUpdate 2.2 will bring back those 4.0 users.

Extensive testing has been done to make sure that all components work on 4.0 on the classic, so this should also filter through to 4.1 and beyond as well.

Release should be very soon now.

@Rigo

I have it, and its sorted the little matter out !
Jobs' a good un...

Now it works again, thank you for this update :)

Indeed.
Having an inkling of how much time and effort Rigo put into making AmiUpdate work with OS4 again, I would like to publically add my thanks for this.

@panda

*shucks* :)

We aim to please (well sometimes :P ).
