Software News : AmiUpdate 2.2 available now
Posted by Rigo on 2010/7/31 14:45:32 (2039 reads) News by the same author

amiupdate.net announces the immediate availablity of version 2.2 from the downloads section of http://www.amiupdate.net

This version brings back those users of AmigaOS 4.0.

Extensive testing has been done to ensure compatibility with older versions of AmigaOS 4, and we would like to thank Chris Dallimore and Darren Eveland for their help with this.

There have been some other small changes, and these are included in the release notes for each component.

Also included is an Italian translation of the locale files, thanks to Samir Hawamdeh for his work on this.

Future translations will be available with the updates, and also from the AmiUpdate website.

Your AmiUpdate team.

Thanks for the Release Rigo :)

I was testing it on OS 4.0 classic with the update applied from Hyperion and all worked :)

Just as a tip you may want to add the NOGFX tooltype to speed things up a bit. (for users with slower machines).

Hmm, I tested this and it worked fine, but you're right, it's not working now :/

I'll look into this.

Well, it's the same archive for all platforms, and we wouldn't want to deprive everyone of Masons hard work, would we? :)

As I said before, check the Snoopy log to see why that is. I can't imagine why it would be, as I'm simply trying to open it, it's down to the Locale system to find it.

Ricossa: It works with my AmigaOne. Maybe a net trouble (config ou provider).

Rigo : thanks for this work. Nonetheless, it doesn't start automatically at startup of the Amiga, even if it is choosen in the preferences.

Stupid question maybe but have you configured the servers in AmiUpdate prefs? I mean, they are not configured automatically after installation and you have to add them manually.

Just ticking the checkbox is not enough to run it when Workbench loads, you'll need to add it to WBStartup.

Then you need to tick the "Do not wait" box.

This should be fixed in 53.4.

 Re: AmiUpdate 2.2 available now
Thanks for the update

Two issues (minor):

1. when run first time (prev. version, 1.2something afair) it failed to update itself and put itself into ram: notifying that I can install it from there, what I obviously did,

2. when I fired up the newer version it found amiupdate prefs editor update, which it failed to install with the following err msg in con window (that belongs to ContextMenus which I use to run AU):

CopyStore error - file '' : object not found

Nothing suspicious in log file, nor in snoopy's output.

 Re: AmiUpdate 2.2 available now
The latest versions cannot be automatically updated unfortunately due to the extensive amount of changes. Any running versions need to be exited, so it's easier to have the update install manually.

OK, I found out why the Prefs update didn't work, and I have consequently fixed the archive so that it will work around the bug in CopyStore (which has also been updated)

 Re: AmiUpdate 2.2 available now
Thanks, and good work getting the new version out.

I installed using the script provided, and even though I had quit the previous running version, something was still holding several locks on the old update.library in RAM. I didn't notice what, but the script couldn't launch the new prefs since the old one wouldn't expunge. After a reboot it is fine with the all new version(s).

The first time I ran the prefs, it had nothing in the server list at all. Then when I ran it again it had the amiupdate.net entry there? Maybe the second install try took pity on me and added it there when I wasn't watching it.

The "www.amiupdate.net" server is added if none are found since it is the default.

I don't see the logic of supporting OS4.0 but not 3.9.

 Re: AmiUpdate 2.2 available now
Because the gadget toolkit is not available under 3.9 in a state where it is usable.

AmiUpdate (in fact all my software) is targetted at AmigaOS 4.

68K is dead, or did someone forget to tell you :)

:) Imho time to understand for some users who registered here, that amigans.net it's about modern OS, and not about all that old-retro crap. And all those retro-sites, retro-programms and retro fanatics should die at last :))

@Rigo
Maybe Minuous mean that there is no big sense to support os4.0 at all ? (because too old and too buggy in compare with 4.1) ?

 Re: AmiUpdate 2.2 available now
Unfortunately, for classic users, there is no upgrade path from 4.0.

This is the only reason why I'm supporting it. If the classics ever get an update, I'll drop 4.0 for sure.

 Re: AmiUpdate 2.2 available now
Why since I came back from holidays Amiupdate gives me connection error when try to connect the third server in the list (the other two are fine). Trying to open the link trough a browser I obtain a not allowed access error message.
I have the latest Amiupdate version.

Thanks
