Reduced video memory consumption due to improved screen handling.
New internal methods for better system "theme" support.

Sorry for the website trouble. It seems that "long awaited" wasn't just a buzzword here, right now I am hardly able to log into the machine via remote shell. We're working on fixing the issue. Please have a bit of patience. Thank you.

Better wait an hour or 2, then try again. Perhaps it will work then. This is excellent news, especially considering the fact that the new Amiga-platform AmigaOne X1000 is on its' way

 Re: AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1 now available
People are downloading it like crazy

I can understand that. I want to say something to Hyperion. I know i haven't been the easiest Amiga member to deal with and some would think that i was dreaming out of reality, but at last it seems i am getting right anyway. AmigaOne X1000 is on the way, marking the very new rebirth of the Amiga, and you have now released the AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1, which is also known as AmigaOS 4.1.1!

You have done everything that Amiga Inc never managed to do. Your releases of AmigaOS 4 and beyond are true edvidences of that hard work. Keep it up! Again, congratulation!

Now it's time to party!

 Re: AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1 now available
If anyone's having trouble starting modules etc from the Filer using the Tunenet on the 4.1u1 CD. Then change your filetype/userbutton to say:

path/tunenet -load "{f}"

(ie, add the -load parameter)

For some reason tunenet has either changed its command line parameters or there's a bug in tunenet.

 Re: AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1 now available
OK. I got the file eventually after one whole hour watching it download but now cannot unpack the ISO from the lha archive.

I get the message

"Error while unpacking A1InstallCD-Upd1.lha filetype is unknown".
That is with Unarc, Dopus just shows and does nothing when I try to extract.

Anyone have any ideas what to do with this file or is it corrupted.

I really do NOT want to spend another whole HOUR waiting for a huge download that then may still not unpack when I finally get it.

Yes, IB is still my main browser, I only use OWB if I really have to.

Thankfully someone posted a way to remove the extra rubbish that was added to the beginning of the file which saved a third download.

Installed today, seems working well so far, no keyboard or mouse lockups anymore (fingers crossed).

 Re: AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1 now available
USB functionality has been drasticly improved, but you'd be surprised just how many USB devices do not comply fully with the specifications laid out. In those cases, workarounds have to be added to get around the buggy hardware. Unfortunately Memory sticks seem to be one of the worst affected so it's virtually impossible to cope with every device until someone actually starts to use it.

Just check Linux, and see the list of workarounds their USB drivers have to do.

MS have it easy, the manufacturers supply the information, or even write their own drivers, no such luck for us.

Thank you Hyperion and everyone else involved in this project.

My AmigaOne XE has been out of action for several months, but I hope for a final fix within a week. I'm looking forward to installing Amiga OS4.1u1 very soon.
