Today, version 3.0 of the PowerPC operating system MorphOS has been released, which does also support notebooks for the first time. Additionally, from now on - among others - those source codes derived from AROS can be downloaded directly from the MorphOS homepage.
The update is free for owners of MorphOS 2.x keyfiles and includes the CD/DVD authoring application Jalapeno, the FTP/SFTP client Transfer, an updated Odyssey Web Browser, new Reggae classes and the Reggae-based music player Jukebox.
Below you can read the official press release:
"The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.0, the first ever public version to install on portable computers, specifically PowerBook G4 machines. In addition to the extended hardware support, users will benefit from various new features, enhancements and bug fixes. For an overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.
To celebrate the much anticipated release of MorphOS 3.0, we are furthermore offering special three-tier pricing. The prices for a keyfile are 111.11 EUR for one PowerBook G4 system, 79 EUR for one eMac, Mac mini G4, Pegasos I, Pegasos II or PowerMac G4, and 49 EUR for one EfikaPPC system.
We strongly urge owners of PowerBook G4 computers to carefully read our installation and troubleshoot guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.0 is available for download in our files section." (snx)
