Ralph Schmidt announces the MorphOS 0.4 Release with a lot of new native OS modules, an OS Module Plugin, a WarpOS/Warp3d emulation and a 2hour timeout.
Finally, the 3rd MorphOS Release is available.
Quite a while has passed since the 2nd release
but we hope that the new features and overall
improved stability are appreciated.
This is a snapshot of our current version with
the timeout increased to 2 hours.

Major new functionalities are

o support for AmigaOS3.5/3.9 update rom
modules.
No need anymore for dangerous resets.

o support for external rom modules so that
everybody can write his own rom module
replacements and put them into the load
dir.

o WarpOS emulation, finally you are able to
play HereticII with Warp3D while running
MorphOS.

o new native modules

o exec(fully independent)
o expansion.library
o romboot
o input.device
o keyboard.device
o battclock.resource
o battmem.resource
o cardres.resource
o cia.resource
o potgo.resource

o Improved CyberGraphX PPC with native
Superlayers.

o Improved BlizzardPPC support

o native jfif.datatype for completeness

o better devpackage

o more efficient ppc/68k switch which
results into better compiled code and
lower latencies.

New native 3rd party software

o Bochs(PC Emulator)

o New MUIPPC Snapshot

o New MagicMenuPPC

o xpk

o cnet.device

New MorphOS 0.4 Release : Comment 66 of 109ANN.lu
Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 17-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT
Even apart from the fact that I wasn't the one posting the comment about the hobby-status of MorphOS, I would like to make the following observations:
1) the fact that it is a hobby-project doesn't entail that it is a bad product. Unfortunately on the Amiga very few professional coders are still active. A lot of good software is produced by hobbyist.
2) I define a hobby-project as a project which is not developed by people who earn their living producing the software in question. To the best of my knowledge, there is no MorphOS Inc, Gmbh, Ltd, GBR, OHG etc. You are not selling anything and you don't have to live from the sales of MorphOS. Hence, by this definition, MorphOS was (is?) a hobby-project.
Now re-read remark 1 before you get pissed off.
