As a precursor to a more substantial SDK update to be released in the future, the MorphOS Development Team has prepared a package of MorphOS 2.1 system includes for interested third party developers. It was designed as an intermediate drop-in replacement for the os-include part found in the current version of the MorphOS SDK. Regardless of what MorphOS version you develop for, an update is beneficial in any case as the archive includes various fixes and improvements, such as support for the latest release of the VBCC compiler.
In order to use the MorphOS 2.1 system includes, it is suggested to either replace the older archive with this one during a fresh installation of the SDK, or to extract the archive and then replace your os-include directory (Special note: do not simply copy the content). The package can be downloaded here.
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.
