Hi

I was looking at meta-morphos.org and I can see news for a two updated sbars.

At the very end the news says: MorphOS 2.5 is recommended to use these two new modules.

Is it getting closer to the release or it's just a typo? ;)

Sniff.. sniff .... My nose's sniffing a well known scent...
By the way, Tokai is one of the fella I'd make MorphOS 2.5 to be tested before the launch

Hopefully the won't make us to do any puzzle to get an update :D

I tried to install both of those on 2.4, what with that being the new version available and all, install fails something about no: being an unknown command,

Maybe it's something to do with this little lot in the install script! Just look at those comments!

"; Now, mess up user's installation!

Execute T:Keymap_sbar_install.log

; Done, hard disk drive completely erased.
;
RequestChoice "Keymap.sbar Installer" "Installation of Keymap.sbar successful completed.*n*nAn installation log file is available in T:" "Ok" >NIL:
;
; Next time, just do it yourself! :D

Hi,
news about MorphOS 2.5 ad in particular about MorphOS for PowerMac G4 ?

thanks, regards

How far have releases been apart in the past? An eternity?

> How far have releases been apart in the past?

2.0 - June 2008
2.1 - September 2008
2.2 - December 2008
2.3 - August 2009
2.4 - October 2009

That is 3, 3, 8 and 2 months in between, 4 months on average. That means MorphOS 2.5 is overdue ;-)

2.5 is much over due but probably they are doing a lot of bugfixing for Powermac and Powerbook for the release. My Powerbook G4 1.25 ghz is waiting for it! Would be nice if a deve gave us a hint..

No body said anything about the Powerbook version being ready for the next release, in fact I'm not entirely sure they said anything about Powermacs other than the Emacs for 2.5, did they?

powermacs were announced for next release, not powerbooks (later)

@SoundSquare

PowerMac support is not planned for 2.5.

To bad :/
Well when its not ready, its not ready.

So the decision is final. So, what are you working on for the mini? if

We will see. I have a feeling that it's gonna be soon ;)

Anyway,
I hope sooner then later means it wont take tooooo much longer.

I bought a powermac as i thought when laire writes that, i really cant take long.
It may be more work then he thought maybe.

If i could transfer the license, i would have bought a mac mini in the meanwhile but i guess i rather wait :)

I wonder what else beside running on Powermac MOS 2.5 will bring along.
Maybe the long awaited Thumbnail Video preview?

Huh? The right question would be, what else besides running on PowerMac MorphOS 2.5 *won't* bring along.

Yes, you're right. I just looked for statements from you. That's why I overlooked Fab's. Thanks for the hint.

> How da hell do you remember all the bloody links? :D

Golem is spot on. I don't remember the links but only that something was said by someone somewhen ;-)

I really see no benefit in the team telling us they're not going to add any machine support in the 2.5 version, I mean if they aren't going to release it for Power Mac yet then what are they going to add? The only thing I can think of is 3d suport for the 9600,9700 and 9800?
