Good idea 👍 what I also didn’t try yet is the emu for 32bit you‘ve wrote.Responded in AEROS 5.0 (64Bit) Blue Horn incoming

Re: AEROS 5.0 (64Bit) Blue Horn incoming
Hi Pascal,
Good to see this development.
FYI: since you are running Debian in the background, you could try installing AxRuntime and run 64-bit Odyssey from it, rather then from AROS. AxRuntime supports SMP and Odyssey gets around 20% performance boost when it can use additional cores.Responded in AEROS 5.0 (64Bit) Blue Horn incoming

Re: AEROS 5.0 (64Bit) Blue Horn incoming
Hey AEROS fans,
It’s been a long time since I last released an update for AEROS.
Some of you may remember the early days: AEROS for ARM and x86 – a unique hybrid distribution combining Debian Linux and AROS under one hood, allowing Linux software and Amiga applications to run side by side.
Now it’s time for a comeback – in 64-bit, with a new identity:
Blue Horn. 🎉
What’s New in AEROS 5 – Blue Horn
Base: Debian 13 (Trixie) – stable, modern, future-proof
USERLAND controlled by AROS 64 Bit based on Deadwoods repos
Wanderer modifications to launch files in Linux default apps if wanted
Access obmenu via custom AROS side launcher
AROS 32-bit “Classic Mode” – run legacy apps in parallel
Integrated SDK – making the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit development easier than ever
Hybrid Workflow – mix Linux tools with AROS software seamlessly
Optimized for modern hardware – while keeping that Amiga soul alive
Blue Horn theme – inspired by Trixie, the blue Triceratops from Toy Story, symbolizing strength, creativity, and a bit of playful nostalgia
Why “Blue Horn”?
The codename Blue Horn is inspired by Trixie, the blue Triceratops character from Toy Story.
Debian 13 – the base of AEROS 5 – carries the codename “Trixie,” and just like her, AEROS 5 represents a mix of friendliness, creativity, and capability.
The “horn” stands for:
Strength – a robust hybrid OS that blends Linux and AROS seamlessly.
Legacy – a nod to the classic Amiga spirit still present in AEROS.
Focus – like a horn pointing forward, Blue Horn is about moving toward a clear vision.
The blue represents:
Stability – Debian’s rock-solid foundation.
Trust – an OS you can depend on for both retro fun and modern productivity.
Nostalgia – a playful yet strong identity that bridges past and present.
In short, Blue Horn celebrates the Debian “Trixie” heritage while giving AEROS 5 its own unique personality.

With AEROS 64 I am targeting also at lowend Mac’s as Apple follows a strict 5 years support timeframe, a shitload of potential users do exist and are looking for a lightweight system.

AmiCloud beta 4 is now available!!
Here is the Changelog including the short one for beta3c
::: CHANGELOG (BETA 04 - 10/12/2015)
- Fixed a problem for files created in january, it was a typo on my date conversions routines.
- Fixed the missing space before the user name, this bug was visible only with the auto-login enabled.
- Now it's not possible to open the share window if the user is not yet logged in.
Also, changing user when the share window is opened it will make it close for data coherence.
- Auto-Login without first login problem: this bug was showed when
- The user has not yet logged in at least once
- Then he sets the Auto-Login ON
- And finally closes AmiCloud without executing the first login
At the next run AmiCloud was trying to AutoLogin, but since there wasn't a "last-login" it was crashing.
Now, if these conditions occurs, AmiCloud will switch OFF the auto-login and will pop an information window.
- During the upload process AmiCloud will show the upload status with the completed percentual and speed in kilobyte/second
- During the download process AmiCloud will show the download status with the completed percentual and speed in kilobyte/second
- Now AmiCloud remember its window's position and at the next run will move to the latest position where it was when closed.
- Now the AmiCloud preferences window can be resized to allow user to see long synchronized folder's path
- Added a new preference : Start iconified. If set the client will be iconified as soon as it is started and have completed the login. Only effective when the AutoLogin is enabled.
::: CHANGELOG (Beta 03c) :::
[ Internal Libraries ]
- Fixed a bug that was causing bad date conversions in December, in some occasion affected application could crash.
Here is a video with the latest AmiCloud release (Beta 04) syncing files between Windows, AROS (on VMWare) and Linux (on Virtual Box) :)

Re: AROS Broadway preview 4 available
Hi,
normally it should look like this:
[url]http://www.aros-broadway.de/files/2.jpg[/url]
At least no black screen ; )
Maybe by "forcing" the burn something got lost.
In a few month we will have finished the core stuff like update-mechanics / package manager... than broadway will be on track again.Responded in AROS Broadway preview 4 available

Re: AROS Broadway preview 4 available
Didn't install it, but had a quick look. Broadway X was a little too big, 707mb, so I had to force it to burn. Not sure what was left out, but it booted.
Not sure, how I got out of the black screen with the 3 big icons, (maybe it was ctrl-c). Suggest a window and not a screen.
Anyway it has a very nice look to it. Glad to see that this distro is still updated :)Responded in AROS Broadway preview 4 available

Re: AROS Broadway preview 4 available
Changelog:
Added AmiCloud client
Added OWB with HTML5 video support
Added Hfinder 2015 (replacing the old one)
Added some Drawer Icons (some where missing)
Fixed Lbreakout2 not staring from Quickstarter (the Dock)
Fixed AROSPDF (is working again)
Added VAN-builder (create VAN animations from SVG's -> no direct converting from Movies.. this will be part of another tool)
Some cleaning here and there..
It fits on a 700MB CDROM
Attention:
Newer Virtualbox revisions (at least on OS X) cause some trouble with timing and date settings... this may result in reuploading of data to your cloud storage
This doesn't happen on native hardware and or VMWare. I didn't test Qemu.
So if you rely on a VirtualMachine I would suggest to use VmWare or a 3.x revision of it
