Oh, and i will gladly pay 100 euro for the OS4 box for my earlybird system, sort of to support Hyperion. And yes, i have already updated to the microA1-cd. Thanks for the IRC Hans-J?rg.

The final on the CD will include support for loading UNIX-liked shared objects, and the SDK will be able to produce them (like a libpython.so) (I finished libpython.so today BTW ) Python is a scripting language that can be incorporated into your own program. For example, Blender uses it for scripting. The shared objects will be 100% like under Linux, meaning that most of the time you can create them without editing a makefile. Nice I'm looking forward to the SDK most of all. Cheers, Bean.

Apart from CD's with OS4.0 being close there's not much new stuff in this QA. But atleast it's a sign of life.

Even if there were not any news about new hardwares, it was great to hear a sign of life again. It is even harder now for us because you have decided to post less on the forums. I can understand this. So every news is very welcome! Let's hope that Hyperion will soon make an agreement with Amiga Inc about the future of OS4! When that has happened, SAM can not be far away. I still hope that SAM will be released for Christmas. Maybe I am unrealistic but I don't care! If peoples stop dreaming it's all over.

In a future version, we will try to support real shared code, too. Other than that, the shared objects work exactly like in UNIX (semantically they are identical). It means that this makes it way easier to use LGPL'ed code in non-GPL programs.

Anything that makes the leverage of Linux code easier is a great move. The new graphics engine you are thinking about sounds like a great idea as well. Cheers!

Means mplayer could use external codecs form Linux for example (when recompiled propperly with new SDK)? [dream]If only Adobe released their flash plugin for ppc...slap[/dream] Jack

Wring devices and library?s takes a lot of time, this should shorten the development process.
