Hyperion Entertainment has announced the release of AmigaOS 3.2 for all classic 68K based Amiga systems.
Boasting over 100 new features, dozens of updates that cover nearly all AmigaOS components and a battery of bugfixes, AmigaOS 3.2 is the result of more than 2 years of intense and relentless work from a team of over 60 people.
If you’re relatively new to AmigaOS releases, don’t worry about the fact that AmigaOS 4 came out years ago. AmigaOS 3.2 is where it is at for continued classic Amiga development, and with a couple of modest enhancements to your system you can run AmigaOS 3.2. The release is intended for Amiga 1000, 500, 2000, 600, 1200, 3000, 3000T, 4000D, and 4000T with Kickstart ROM 3.1, 3.1.4 or 3.2, 2MB of RAM and at least 10MB HDD space.
Available on CD-ROM, now and featuring disks and AmigaOS Kickstart ROMs for all Amiga machines, AmigaOS 3.2 features:
- ReAction GUI toolkit integration
- Built-in ADF (Amiga disk file image) management
- Integrated Help subsystem
- Updated Data Type system
