AMIGA-news - AMIGO OS v3.5.

 Finally, after 3 years of composting
brains out a long-awaited AmigaOS_3.5. In
day of release (20 October) OS_3.5 start
pour a broad stream on pirate boards.
On Thursday, she was posted to the Russian
pirate ftp-boards for general
use. OS_3.5 unreleased pirated
team from Germany named FAITH. In
id-dize, they reported that because of the stupidity
gw2k they lost interest in krakingu
Amiga Varese. Typically, to distract attention,
so many bourgeois pirates do it,
especially when they release something
epoch-making and after a while
lie on the bottom, so they were not raped.
Such tricks, afaik, was carried out TRSi,
Hellfire, Prestige, Sunflex, Fairlight,
Prodigy and other famous pirate
group. But let us continue ... Size OS_3.5 -
13 MB LZX-archive. For the Friday / Saturday and
I managed to get hold of it. Impressions of
AmigaOS_3.5 read below.

 So, my impressions of AmigaOS_3.5 ...
Hmmmmmm ... Well, it really
update for OS_3.1 and a good update.
It is unclear just one thing: what the fuck it so
long write?? Valuable to me personally
information it has only about 1.5 MB
the rest can safely indulge in trashcan.

 First, the drawbacks:

- Datatypes are slower than those that
You can download AmiNet'a

- Download Ineta could not place
general: special version of the browser
AWeb_3.3_SE under OS_3.5, TCP / IP - Miami_3.2
under ClassAct (neregistrennaya!!), very
curve mailer Amiga Mail (also under OS_3.5
and much worse frivarnogo YAM'a). Personally, I
prefer: the browser - VoyagerNG_2.96 (and
when the full release, then VE.x); TCP / IP
- Miami_3.2b under MUI_3.8 (when released
full Miami-Deluxe_1.0, then put
it); mailer - YAM_2.0 or
MicroDot-II_1.3. Praise be to Allah, that they
work and under OS_3.5! ;)

- Fuck no need Glow Icons, created by
artist from Silicon Graphics: my
old;) NewIcons look and work
much better!

- The installer is absolutely no regard for
the fact that I need and what is not - all the fells
on the hard disk - to understand, they say, the very
(Even in the "Expert"-mode)

- Not supported mode "DefIcons",
when determining the ID of each file and
assigned a false-icon
corresponding to its type (iff.icon -
ilbm-picture, asm.icon - sortsu on asm'e
or arexx.icon - ARexx-script, etc ...).
A function of this far from worthless

- For some reason slower than Workbench_3.1
open windows

- There is no promise of a 680x0 emulator
PowerPC

- No special libraries to speed up
system under the PowerPC

- All support for PowerPC has
limited to the new version WarpUp

- No promised new AHI-compatible
audio subsystem ARTAS

Hopefully, this list of shortcomings of the new OCi
will be no new settlements, as already
available items will disappear as
the emergence of new updates.

 What is new and good:

- Support for new icon.library, giving
independent panel for each icon,
Support OldIcons and NewIcons

- As in AmigaOS_1.3 made thermometer
the disk is full;) Back 2 the Roots!

- Realtime scroller and vertical
horizontally in each window

- New information in the box, placing
files in alphabetical order, dates,
size, etc.

- Strong support ARexx, new version
ARexx

- Enhanced API, to control
Workbench'em through applications

- Devices can be hidden

- Introduced new ReAction GUI, significantly
faster than the old systems running in
multicolor (32 and over) mode
Support BOOPSI-Class

- A new file system that is compatible with
FFS (not verified)

- Support for CD-drive through
CacheCDFS

- Support RTG

- Steeper IPrefs

- A new and steeper ASL-rikvestr

- A new library hdwrench.library
maintain the HD> 4GB

- Many bugs pofiksennyh

- Many small improvements

- 3 days yuzaniya OS_3.5 not found
any incompatibility with the old
system or game software

 This is just first impressions, I hope
OS_3.5 more bells and whistles, the more that
Amiga, Inc. and Haage'Partner announced
imminent update OS_3.6.

 Generally, it is felt that the OS_3.5
a hand programmer Olaf Barthel:
Many features are made to a tee, as in
his old / good terminalke Term, which
I always use and other amizhniki
our town (and not only) those who have
modem.

A few days later ...

Maintainer AmigaOS_3.5 e-mail client
was sheer nonsense! : / Some
fuck it makes my letter of 12 kb (with
proprietary information) in the monster file
950 kb, moreover, in addition, non-
editing. Additional item
unobtrusive service: No alignment
text, to connect to another text
editor (like CEd or GoldED, what I
accustomed to using), conversion "on
fly "from 1251 in KOI8r (as
present in YAM'e) and other small, but
nice fichek ... Verdict: Amiga Mail
from the package AmigaOS_3.5 full suxx, and how
consequently, has no right to exist on
hard and floppy disks every self-respecting
Amiga-user himself, ie, must die!
4ever ...

 The most interesting is that in 6.5 years,
during which I speak
amigavladeltsem, I did not come across as
outrageously concocted program (!) and
This is the first case where I stand so
definitive verdict program
written for the Amiga. Hopefully, this
the last case ...

 Last 2.5 weeks as FIDO (RU.AMIGA),
and to the web (# AmigaRus, # ATO, etc.) are
quite heated debates on the subject,
Is AmigaOS_3.5 complete sludge,
or she still rulez, albeit with some
shortcomings. The main stumbling pritknoveniya
advocates the introduction of ReAct-GUI (clone
ClassAct-GUI), as is now standard
GUI for AmigaOS. Actually, I do not
completely clear all this fuss is about.
ClassAct and GTLayout.library (the forerunner
ReAct-GUI) known amizhnikam at
least four years. The first set
Norwegian amizhnikami as an alternative
famous interface MUI, the second -
creation of a good German programmer
Olaf Barthel (which is now 2 years
is the lead programmer
European branch of the Amiga, Inc., rather,
of the software department). With ClassAct'om
working very popular Amiga
program (basically, an application for
Internet), type AWeb_II, AirMailPro and
very comfortable news-reader Usenet'a NewYork
(Which I often use).
GTLayout.library uses the popular
terminal program and the possibility of Term
choice of its GUI provides the most
popular in the Amiga TCP / IP-stack is Miami. In
ReAct-GUI quite clearly
was influenced GTLayout.library,
however, with a significant improvement
design. Btw, the program yuzayuschie ClassAct
are much faster and more stable than that
as MUI, though it looks poorer MUI'shnyh.
And so it was clear, as issued
release of OS is not 4.0 or even 5.0, but only
3.5, a no brainer that it comes in
basically, Workbench, several important
libraries and, in fact, would not affect the
exec.library. This has been previously,
when a Commodore-Amiga, Inc. in 1990
made a good update for
AmigaOS_2.04/2.05, unreleased OS_2.1 with
