http://hyperion-entertainment.biz/media/video/eLAP_AmigaOS.mpg <-really interesting, there was an handheld-version of amigaos4!!! but look for yourself, how cool is this

@Rogue

Cool video, I enjoyed it, thanks.

Cool video, where did all the information come from? Amazing.

Would make a great screenblanker!

Spotted a typo though, apparently Eyetech released an "AmigaOS G3SE", surely should read "AmigaOne G3SE" .

@Daniel

Gource uses the logs from a CVS server (amongst others) to produce the visualisations.

So it appears that AmigaOS 4.1 really is the natural successor after all. Who'd have thought it :)

Really interesting video. Everything starts by 3 programmers , and as i can detect in latest seconds of video, looks like about 20 active developers works on aos4 in Hyperion for now. That not bad.

At video we also can see, who works mostly on which parts, so, Ssolie, it's you works on Locale/Keymaps support ?:)

There are still unsuspecting customers buying Amiga Forever and believing Death Bed Vigil is some what the last episode of the Amiga Saga.

I suggest you allow Cloanto to include this video on the next release so that they may know AmigaOS was and still IS an on-going development that never stopped once since the early days!

Fantastic video - perfect nerd stuff! I really enjoined that "floating" Olafs and Colins - and the Python explosion - great!

downloading both videos. will take me 2 hours with mobilespeed :) Will check them out later. thanks

@Rogue
Thank you ! Really interesting !

Btw. What's that "win32" on top left corner in mid-2004 ? Or did I see wrong ? *eeeek* (Do I dare even ask...)

@TSK

OMG!

Hmmm... I think that was me cleaning up the build system versus contributing any functionality.

Could it be related to some kind of x86 port?

Kidding! I have no idea what that is.

Nice.

Well, can I be a bit disapointed?

Nice Mind/Development Map, but I expected
some pictures, music and audio commentary at least

@TSK


That was due to the checkin of freetype2. It contains several empty directories. Even stuff like atari or os2 being among them.

EDIT: Tool slow :)

It seems Slashdot has picked up the story as well now.

Some interesting keywords attached to it: amiga, idle, os, foreveryoung, deadhorse, story

@Rogue

Would be cool to see a more polished version, higher res with some pictures and maybe music from Susumu Hirasawa, on the OS4.2 CD perhaps?

Now that Hyperion have full control of AmigaOS who knows what might be developed in the future?

Exciting times indeed!

TrevorD

And now the end is near.

Oh no its probably just an update on their site as i cannot
access it at the mo.

Website seems to be rather slow at the moment, I don't know why. I'll check.

EDIT: Seems to be working again

I'm just kidding, it's a joke. Or is it?

...it's the famous "AmigaHeretic"-effect...

More likely because someone went and posted this news on slashdot...

Nice video.

This seems to require some kind of plugin. Why force this upon your users? It should be distributed as an ordinary IFF ANIM, MPEG or AVI file.

The first two files are high quality versions, while the last 3 are MPEG versions at lower quality.

So, what's wrong with the download links that lets you download the videos as MPEG files ?

"Now that Hyperion have full control of AmigaOS who knows what might be developed in the future?"

I would like to see some rough roadmap!
I think it would be good PR to see what the developers have in mind.
Also I would like more visible/open interface for users&application developers to give their ideas and influence to OS development.

Also, it would be nice to see some Hyperion actions to try to bring the community together & developers working together, across all Amigalike flavors.

Are we going to get some official AOS4 web site this year?

@Kimmo
Good questions, I would like to see a roadmap aswell. Or instead of a roadmap we could call it a list of prioryties.

I am aware that no timeline can be given but it would be nice to know what is being worked on and what is going to be worked on in the future.

Perhaps you could ask Hyperion for a statement regarding future plans for AmigaOS?

@Troels
I fear that after "priorites" list, some of us will left aos4 at all :) For me, for example, top priority it's new graphics subsystem , with fast 3d. If that not in high priority, then for me better do not know that :)

We can ask Hyperion about priorites and future plans, but by some strange reassons they never answer normally on that kind of questions. I think not the last reasson for that, is that ppls will bashing any kind of priorities, because someone think that one should be first, other one think that other think should be first, and in end some amiga-heretic-kind flame :)

@Minuous
Stop be retro :) Who in clear mind today will use IFF-ANIM ? Only aos3 geeks :)

I don't see why IFF ANIM support is an OS3 issue. Don't tell me OS4.1 can't play IFF ANIMs!?

AFAIK Hyperion never had OS3.5/3.9 sources? So the animation must presumably be missing those changes to the source tree. Hyperion should have mentioned this instead of just glossing over it.

@Minuos
Of course aos4 can play any formats and iff anims too. I just say, that making iff anims today, its retro and only aos3 lunatics can say "plz give us iff anims". Everythere avi, mpeg, youtube and any other normal and modern standart today, so asking for iff anim, it's retro and funny.
