Well, there are also fixes that can be nice to have, and justify a release.

Sure, and They (fixes) are often more important then other porting.
Sure also I'd like to see in next relase MorphOS for my PowerMac G4, but more important are for exemple fixes for Mac Mini G4.

( I love MorphOS beacuse all It's make with brain while in other OS (4.x : - ) ) often with a** ... )

Okay that sounds fine, but it seems that we have to beg of you to even disclose a snippet of current progress. Maybe you should start a thread where you put out a type of "newsletter" explaining whats currently being worked on (not asking for a timetable) because it seems a serious lack of communication between users and devs exist. I am merely suggesting you write a weekly note describing the hours and hours of endless debugging and frustration on kernel panics, we'd all much rather that than no communication altogether, all of you are saying different things and confusing us, it does no good for your publicity. I'm happy to help spread the word, but without a way to inform people on current progress is a serious problem. Hope you all can get something worked out

@Dreamcast270mhz

You could try joining #morphos on irc.freenode.net if direct communication with the developers is what you're after. But since you're still waiting for your particular hardware to be supported they may not be able to tell you what you would like to hear just yet :)

But they are there and they do communicate.

@Dreamcast270mhz

Weekly reports? Sorry but I wouldn't want to feel as if I were at work when doing MorphOS development :)

Make it two weeks more then :P.

A perfect example of the MorphOS Team sense of humour. I like it, really. Yes, I do. What, you don't believe me?!

Wich blog are you referring to, Golem?

Any. :)

@ThEcrow

There is no blog, Golem is a morphos dev fanboy and is like a lawyer constantly downlplaying lack of promotion/advertising...

@Cisc

I dont get it i read that whole thread, is the preview going to be available or no?

@jacek

Thanks for the honest answer its very appreciated by the community.

@magneto

And here I thought we were just being silly...

...And will update from 2.4 to 2.5 fix the audio bug in MacMini port. (stuttering when playing mp3 and other files with ANY sound player). Thanks

This is an issue noone else has reported (or encountered?) so far, so that's unlikely to be fixed.

If something stutters, it's more likely a consequence of something else (like some other task with higher priority messing it up, like swapping in/out in case of low vram, maybe?).

I understand about the bug fixes, but why should they alone justify a new release, when if you release it now, without new machine support, you are delaying another four or five months (on average) because you may then say that doesn't alone justify a new release. Just my two cents, I rest my case

I have MacMini 1.42GHz with 1Gb RAM,80 GbHD, and I start Mos (registred) in 800x600x16, without Enhanced Display or Double/Triple layers enabled (for testing this). After booting I start only one player with same mp3. After that I don't touch anything. But after 10 minutes (more or less) stuttering starts.

@Condor

That surely isn't normal. You should probably check if there's anything in the debug log when the problem happens - maybe it's something crashing, whatever the reason. Since it does not happen immediately, perhaps it is heat related or some other non-software reason (just a whild guess though).

Like mentioned in the ANR Update Thread? i and others have this too.
Even Songplayer worked better on my a4k. Mplayer works the best with out shuttering for me at least.

I don't have any probs with Songplayer (V1.62) or MPlayer 8latest release), neither on my Mac mini nor on my (cpu weak) Efika. Music gets played w/o a hassle for hours and hours, regardless if the files are .mp3 or .ogg. There is also no stuttering when some crashy task is consuming the max cpu load at pri=1, the task priorities of all audio and player related stuff are higher and the scheduler seems to work reliable.

i think you should boot off the CD and try to replay files then and see whether it stutters, too. If yes, then I 'd assume it is a bigger prob, if not, your system is probably somehow messed up.
