AmigaOS 4: CD-/DVD-burning software AmiDVD 1.38
AmiDVD written by Jörg Strohmayer is a very simple CD-/DVD-burning software which first creates an image file in ISO9660-format and then writes it on a CD or DVD.
In version 1.38 a workaround for Pioneer drives was implemented which thereby now are nearly as fast as drives of different producers.

AmigaOS 4: Text typeset system LaTeX 3.0 (alpha)
"Jack" has published a first alpha version of a port of the text typeset system LaTeX. A viewer for DVI-files is still not implemented. SDK (Software Development Kit) and a current version of abc-shell are required.
The author asks for feedback of users with LaTeX experiences but he points out that the installation guide still was not completed.
Hint: In the distribution archive there is a damaged version of the file "etex". It is absolutely necessary to download the working version of etex and to copy it over the original version.
Direct download:
Distribution: tetex-3.0_build_alpha1.tar.gz (160 MB)

AmigaOS 4 for PowerUp: Press releases by Hyperion and ACube
As announced at the AmiWest 2007 event, the AmigaOS 4 version for PowerUp-Amigas will be released November 30 (amiga-news.de reported). Meanwhile, both Hyperion Entertainment VOF and ACube Systems Srl. have published official press-releases on their respective website.
AmigaOS 4.0 for Classic Amiga to be released November 30th
Antwerp, Belgium - 23 October, 2007 As announced this weekend in Sacramento, CA during the Amiwest banquet, Amiga OS 4.0 for classic Amiga’s equipped with PowerPC accelerator cards, will start shipping on 30 November 2007.
The version of Amiga OS 4.0 shipping for classic Amiga’s is functionally identical to the version already available for AmigaOne hardware and can co-exist with existing Amiga OS 3.x installations in a dual-boot configuration.
The cardboard packaging will contain a CD, a DD boot-floppy to allow installation without a pre-installed Amiga OS and a printed “Quick Start” manual.
Production and world-wide distribution of Amiga OS 4.0 Classic will be handled by our strategic partners Acube Systems s.r.l.
Due to the wide variety of (often no longer produced) third-party hardware available for the Amiga 1200, Amiga 3000(T) and Amiga 4000 (T), prospective customers are strongly advised to verify whether their hardware is supported by Amiga OS 4.0 Classic before placing their order. A list of supported and unsupported hardware will be going online soon on Acube Systems' website. Depending on overall market-demand for the Amiga OS 4.0 Classic version, additional hardware may be supported in the future.
AmigaOS 4.0 Classic will require at least 64 MB of memory (more is recommended) and at least 200 MB of free hard disk space, as well as a supported PowerPC accelerator (CyberstormPPC or BlizzardPPC).
Hyperion Entertainment once again wishes to thank its loyal customers for their business and support.

ACube Systems Srl. is pleased to announce the availability, starting from 30 November 2007, of the much awaited Amiga OS 4.0 for PPC equipped Classic Amigas.

If you are a reseller please contact us at resellers@acube-systems.com for resellers prices.
We are happy to welcome Classic Amigans in the Amiga OS 4.0 users family. and we would like to thank Hyperion Entertainment for the great job they have done in the past months to bring this new Amiga OS 4.0 version to all Classic owners.
Amiga OS 4.0 for Classic Amigas will be sold at a retail price of 74 EUR + local taxes and shipping costs. (snx)

AmiWest 2007: AmigaOS 4 for PowerUp on November 30
In the course of AmiWest in Sacramento, which takes place this weekend, Steven Solie has announced, at the request of AmigaOS 4 developer Hans-Jörg Frieden, that starting from November 30, AmigaOS 4 will be availabe for Amiga computers with PowerUp accelerator cards.
The Amiga models 1200, 3000, 4000 and 4000T are supported, provided that they are equipped with a BlizzardPPC or CyberStormPPC card.
An existing AmigaOS installation is not required, merely a hard disk as well as a floppy disk and a CD drive. When booting from the enclosed floppy disk, the CD-ROM driver will be loaded. Should a system already be installed, the installation can be started directly from the CD as well.
Upon an inquiry on supported expansions, Hans-Jörg 'Rogue' Frieden points out that there will be a hardware compatibility list with all relevant information.
But at the moment, there is a Highway driver for USB, and if he remembers correctly, FastATA and IDEFix as well as similar hardware are supported as well. However, the installation process currently requires that you have
connected either an IDE or a SCSI CD drive to the CyberStormPPC. The SCSI controller of the BlizzardPPC, on the other hand, is not currently supported, so only the IDE port of the Amiga 1200.
Support for other hardware could possibly be added within the scope of an update. With regard to PCI, all Prometheus-esque PCI solutions as well as the Mediator 1200 and 4000 expansions are supported, no "DMA tricks" though. (snx) (Translation: cad)
