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 139 of 184 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Wayne Hunt on 25-Nov-2003 14:02 GMT | In reply to Comment 126 (Don Cox): > There are probably around 10,000 active Amiga users
There is absolutely no way possible to quantify the real number of active Amiga users. I based my estimate on the number of CAMs sold, and the average number of people participating in public, online forums. I can only justify by estimate, about 1200 active Amiga users left in the community.
That number has dropped steadily and if you would have asked me three years ago, yes, I would have agreed with 10,000. I could have made a case for 20,000, but you simply cannot convince me that only 12% of "Active Amiga users" are on the Internet when it's almost 2004.
SALES make up the picture of an active community, and there's no way that any Amiga software author, or hardware developer has sold anywhere near even 5000 copies of their product in the last three years. The closest I'm aware of is actually Genesi with quantity sales of over 1500 with the Pegasos II. Potentially closest to that would be AmigaOne sales, but we'll never know that, as Alan is keeping sales numbers very close to the vest for some unimaginable reason.
Then again, *any* estimates from anyone as to the size of the "Active Amiga community" are purely subjective -- as you stated.
