Title: 33-year-old AmigaOS for Commodore Computers Gets an Unexpected Update

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/04/13/1813...

"It is somewhat remarkable that work on AmigaOS 3.X continues in 2025," notes
Tom's Hardware, "given that Commodore International released AmigaOS 3.0 in
1992..." AmigaOS 3.1 came in 1993. And now... Work continues on AmigaOS 3.2
with the stewards of this classic Motorola 680x0 friendly operating system,
Hyperion Entertainment, releasing version 3.2.3 a few days ago. In a news
bulletin on the official site, Hyperion highlighted that the third update for
AmigaOS 3.2 includes two years of (more than 50) fixes and enhancements...
Hyperion began its quest to modernize and improve this classic version of
AmigaOS for Motorola 680x0 platforms in 2018 when it released version 3.1.4.
The AmigaOS 3.2 lineage began in 2021... This release is provided as a free
update to owners of AmigaOS 3.2. If you don't already have this OS, you can
get it now at official resellers like RetroPassion UK... Nowadays, Arm-based
accelerators seem to be the path forward for modern Amiga, as opposed to
retro Amiga, enthusiasts. AmigaOS 3.2.3 has a feather in its cap as it also
supports classic 68K Amigas boosted by Arm accelerators such as the PiStorm.
