Archive : : MorphOS 2.1 - Public Release
Posted By: ASiegel. on 2008/9/5 20:41:47

The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 2.1, a free update for users of MorphOS 2.0. In addition to numerous bug fixes, MorphOS 2.1 includes several new features. Some of the most notable ones are the much anticipated sound driver for EFIKA mainboards, a 2D driver for XGI Volari V3XT graphics cards and a virtual CybergraphX monitor (for operating MorphOS without the use of a graphics card via VNCServer). For an overview of the included changes and possible limitations of the forementioned features, please read our release notes.

A description of the hardware requirements and installation procedures can be found here. MorphOS 2.1 is available for download in our files section.

    Good!

    Question: how do you update from 2.0 ? Is there a way to update to 2.1 without losing all settings ?

    Congrats to the morphos team.

    I enjoy the sound with my efika. :) Good to have something that can do bleep and buzz !

    As noticed by targhan : save your user startup. Mine was sent to nil:

    Thanks alot MorphOS Team. Maybe it's just me but my install of 2.1 on Efika is running much better than 2.0, and I'm real glad Papyrus is working for me now. Everything I've tried except for some Hyperion game ports (hanging in the install, will try to copy from dir on my Peg2) is working great.

    Great thing! Now the Efika became very useable.
    Am considering now to register 2.x for the Pegasos now/soon, too.
