According to Hans-Jörg Frieden, AmigaOS 4 SDK beta preview is to be released to Earlybird owners just before Christmas.
Reading some comments, it seems Amiga OS 4 beta is to be released, and it should include the final SDK.
Complete with autodocs, include files, compilers, binutils and some sample code, altough at the moment, without an IDE.

AmigaOS 4 SDK to be released to Earlybird owners : Comment 13 of 184 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sam Smith on 23-Nov-2003 21:02 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (Wayne Hunt): It was unfair that people attacked you for your comments on the delivery of OS4 as it was always possible that such a large project would take as long as it has.
I would hope that anyone who has purchased an AmigaOne has made the decision as a desire to play with the new hardware under Linux and not because they believed the release of OS4 was imminent. To make an expensive purchase such as this specifically for an OS that isn't yet available and has no official release date is and always will be folly. With software delays a common event even in the heavily funded PC world and with the constant improvement in computer hardware spec and pricing you are always better off waiting until OS4 comes out if that is what you want an AOne for.
I'm not quite sure what you want the triarchy to do. Hyperion, Eyetech and AInc. want this out of the door just as much as we all do but excellent software takes time. I am sure that you are aware that a superb OS is quite an undertaking! :)
If anything the damage done by any sort of delay on release has already been done if there was indeed any damage to be done in the first place. Those users that are tired of waiting after nine years will have left by now and those that want to get into the Pegasos will have done so too. All you are going to have is a few thousand AmigaOne owners that are eagerly anticipating the release of the latest version of one of the greatest OS works available. They have all purchased on the premise that they will have to wait anyway so I don't see even an additional 6 months making a whole host of difference. Perhaps you see it differently?
