Amiga Forever 8 and C64 Forever 8 are still in a preview state and probably not available for users yet.

Do we get a new Kickstart Rom for 3.4.1?

It's very unlikely that Cloanto will ever buy a license for a Kickstart ROM from Hyperion to distribute it.

Their supposedly exhaustive list of Kickstart versions at https://cloanto.com/amiga/roms/ conveniently happens to omit mentioning any Hyperion ROMs, they don't want to admit these even exist.

I wonder if you added the rom would it show up in the list of available roms?

Where please? -- Ordering it does not always mean that you will get it immediately.
Maybe you can update a recently bought AF7 already, but I didn't try that. I got my AF8 two days ago as a "Preview" from M.C.Battilana (v8.0.3.0) to test it and not as a final release. Update: Strange, because when I click onto "Buy" for AF7 R2 at Cloanto's web page I really get an offer to purchase AF8 already. I'm a bit confused about the status of AF8 now and will ask Mike to clarify that. Last edited by PeterK; 23 December 2018 at 00:01. |

AF8 is indeed already quietly being delivered to avoid that users are still downloading the previous version and feel disappointed about missing the upgrade or getting it too late. The announcement for the public release of AF8 will be made as soon as all final steps and maybe some fixes are done. Of course, you can still use the Software Director under Help/About to check for updates.
Customers who have purchased AF7 in the last three months will get an email from Cloanto with a free upgrade offer. Last edited by PeterK; 23 December 2018 at 17:35. |

Does the new version still include the illegally "registered" P96 (see http://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-...-00051-EN.html)?
