@All

New AmiUpdate is out! Can be updated through amiupdate :)



@Simon

Is it ok that in the information window some codes are broken? I mean check on the screenshot (click open in new tab for full size) there are " words everywhere, also ' , sounds like or typos, or maybe broken handling, or something on my system?

Would be nice if he fixed the XML escape codes.

What GUI theme is that you're using kas1e?

Nice... but why he doesn't put it on os4depot?

The only full themes i've got are the enhancer ones and the default ones. The BeOS one is pretty nice. Are there many other good themes around?

@kas1e

Thanks!! Worked perfect through AmiUpdate.

Should AmiUpdate handle the update itself or is it a manual install?

I've got a clean install with the hotfix installed and I am getting the message I need to manually install it on a 440Flex.

I spoke with an X5000 user who said that Amiupdate took care of the install on their system.

@kas1e

Thanks. Updated AmiUpdate.

Quote:It depends partly on the version of AmiUpdate you have before you install the new one.

And of course it also depends on whether you have set the Update prefs to allow automatic installation.

You can also use the prefs to designate the server to check for new versions of AmiUpdate for self-updating (normally you'd want that to be the amiupdate.net server).

I just checked and I am showing 2.48 (1/17/21). I don't know why I got the message about having to install it manually, but it looks like everything is ok now.

I double checked and automatic installation is enabled and I have the amiupdate.net server as well as the Hyperion server listed to check for updates.

Thanks for your assistance and thanks to Simon for the update.

For me Updates prefs has the check for AU update when user started bit checked, but it doesn't seem to be able to update from 2.47.

au.log just has "Opening window" and then when I close it, "Closing program".

I have the update check on startup disabled on all my AmigaOS 4 installations as it uses the www.amiupdate.net address which doesn't work due to some DNS issue and eventually times out.

Instead I have amiupdate.codebench.co.uk (as recommended in a thread on these forums) set under servers as the place to look for updates.

@salass00

Actually, you can edit the server in the servers tab and set the amiupdate server to be the one to use for self-update. So if you use the codebench address in your server list, set that one to be used for self-updating (it will appear in bold in the list), and then you can set the checkmark for check for updates on the first tab page.

all good with AmiUpdate updating itself but I'm assuming we still have to use AmiUpdate for Hyperion updates and Updater for A-Eon updates?

@328gts
AmiUpdate is not only for Hyperion Updates, but a global way for anyone to add this feature to his apps. MUI, AmiSSL, Netsurf, Emotion are a few apps that use it.

Updater is only for A-Eons apps and AmiStore purchased software.

@328gts

You don't have to use AmiUpdate for the AmigaOS 4.1 FE update 1 & 2 as they are also available from the downloads section on www.hyperion-entertainment.com.

In Updater there is a third tab entitled "Packages"

This is for useful third-party packages not found on AMIStore or AmiSphere.
