What's new

New packages and features, one line each, newest release first. Fixes and the rest are in the release notes.

Coming to 1.1 as packages

Added to the repository as they are ready and installed with apkg; no new release is needed.

• A web browser with HTTPS (text mode first, then graphical), and the HTTPS library and root certificates it needs.
• More window managers.

Planned for 1.2

From 1.1 on, later releases upgrade an installed 1.1 system in place, with its packages through apkg: 1.1 is the last release that only installs clean.

Plans, with no dates; they may change.

• Offloading work such as crypto and video to the Z3660/ZZ9000's second core when one is present.
• The A600 (with a 68030 accelerator).
• Fast RAM at or above 1 GiB on the 68030 and 68040/68060, which opens the Blizzard 1230-IV/1240/1260, TF536, TF330 and ACA cards.
• Shared libraries for packages, to save memory and disk.
• crash and adb on the 68040/68060 kernel, as a boot option.

1.1

• Loadable kernel modules on the 68030 and the 68040/68060, loaded at boot or on demand. Modules
• Filesystems as modules, loaded when a filesystem of their type is mounted.
• One install CD for every 1.1 machine and both kernel lines, booted from the CD, boot floppies or a Z3660 boot disk. Install CD
• Install over the network, or from RAM-disk boot floppies. Network install
• RAM-disk boot beside a software MapROM copy or a reset-proof RAD:: the boot loader places the image below the memory AmigaOS keeps at the top (tested in emulation: the A1200 with a 68030 and a 68040).
• The A4000's IDE disk as an install target and root disk (gayle-ide).
• The A4000T's onboard SCSI controller as the root disk (a4kt710).
• The A1200 with a 68030, 68040 or 68060 accelerator whose fast RAM sits below 1 GiB, rooted on its own IDE port (tested: Blizzard 1230-III, DKB 1240). Hardware
• The A3000, its onboard SCSI as the root disk.
• The Z3660 in its 68030 mode.
• X11R6.3 on the Z3660 graphics card (x11r6.3, z3660rtg). X and RTG
• Paula audio: the paula driver and /dev/paula. Sound
• ztop and xztop: the Z3660 board's sensors in a terminal and in an X window.
• SSH: dropbear, the server and client with scp, in the base set and on by default (dropbear=no in /etc/rc.conf turns it off), with a faster key exchange. Remote login
• Time sync: the clock set from time servers at boot and hourly (ntp=yes, the default; DHCP-announced servers first, then the pool), and the battery clock written with a corrected setclk. The clock
• CDs: the cdfs filesystem module and its mount helper, in the base set.
• libcfix, in the base set: the system's C library with two memory-allocation faults fixed; a program that ran short of memory could have its data overwritten without any error (Vim saved files with lines missing).
• A tar that reads modern archives (GNU, ustar, pax) without crashing, from the Heirloom Toolchest.
• /dev/random: the random module.
• sar, sadc and timex -s work with the filesystems loaded as modules.
• crash starts on the 68030 line.
• New packages: python3, vim, rsync, ncurses, pth, bzip2, prngd, coreutils, diffutils, libzz9k. Packages
• Shared libraries with GCC 14 (gcc -shared).
• Package repositories per release (http://pkg.amigaux.org/1.1). Packages
• make dist builds the release reproducibly from the source repository.
• Memory limits are the stock ones: one program gets 16 MiB of data and 16 MiB of address space by default. The hard limits are unlimited, so a user, or /etc/profile for everyone, can raise them with ulimit -d and ulimit -v.
• Network and print services that few machines need start only when /etc/rc.conf turns them on. Services
