3 truetype requires a lot of performance so it will never be a replacement, but the thought of truetype has crossed my mind. 4 AmigaDOS have had support for more than one set of access properties since the beginning at least 2.x. So if multiuser.library follows that standard it should work. 5 TextEdit is pretty much locked into being multidocument. Maybe something can be done but it is not high on my agenda. Quote:
7 That is indeed a feature we have talked about and might come one day 8 There is already a commondiy that does that called MouseBlanker 9 We have thought of that and the title bar can show an env variable and i think there is a tool somewhere in the os that updates an env with the current time -> magicially you have time in the screen title 10 I think that is a rather speicalized wish, and you seem to have already found a workaround 11 don't even know what it is 12 good point And yes as you can see from the extensive answer I did read your wishes in the constructive manner you wrote them |

Seeing as the VP author is on the team, things could be written without hacks and included in the OS. Thumbs up AmigaOS 3.2 is a fantastic update. bought mine from Alinea Germay last saturday, but no word from them yet. Thanks to the whole team !! |

I got an email from Alinea that because of a big demand some delay is expected.

@boemann Thanks for the answers! Some more clarifications from my side:
9. I have tried the environment variable approach long time ago (with MCP, if I'm not mistaken), but it didn't work too well. For example, when the amount of free ram changed, the clock was moving left/right to accommodate titlebar text changed. Unless there is some kind of 'tabulation' mechanism available. 11. http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/UnixDirs3 - it allows some more Unix syntax in directory handling, for example you can type cd.. to go to the parent directory. |

My brief experience with 3.2 has been very positive, well done to all.
The console tab completion is very nice. It would be great to have a scroll bar on the console though, for when things scroll out of view. Is that possible? |

I like the tab completion very much myself. Scrollback is not a 3.2 feature, but it will make for a nice addition in 3.2.1 or later, so Jason and I are working on it as we speak. There is absolutely no promises and it it is far from a small task so we will see if it happens at all. But at least we are giving it a try.

A couple of larger wishes for v3.3 or beyond.
1. Add support for utf-8 character encoding. This would fix issues of missing characters and bring the system into modern telecommunications. 2. Fix the date/time related issues. I admit i seem to be the only person that cares about this but I want my great grandchildren to enjoy my Amiga 1200. I think you would have to create a 64 bit quantity to represent the elapsed seconds (or micro-seconds) and have all parts of the OS get its date/time from that. Legacy apps would still use the old API and get 32 bit values but new apps could be made to work with the 64 bit value. http://obligement.free.fr/articles_t..._an2000_en.php |

My system runs in RTG 24 bit color, it stores almost everything in fast. I've got 1900 KB chip available. In order to reach that, I've got a christmas tree of tools. It would be great if the system didn't need tools for that.Somehow 3.1.4 isn't capable of doing that. But, it's only a suggestion Last edited by Syntrax; 23 May 2021 at 18:09. |

As for the clock we have quite a few years left to figure it out |

So we may have a few years to spend on more pressing issues until weâd need to tackle this issue, agreed?

I already purchased a copy from Amiga on the Lake... just a couple quick questions if you don't mind.
1) I have a pal Amiga 600 with a Furia accelerator, last version was very temperamental with that combination. Have such issues been address, I am guessing with new scsi.device in kickstart it will? 2) I also have an NTSC Amiga CD32 with a TF330, is the CD boot-able so I can install straight from CD? What issues might I expect to run into? |

manufacturer to make sure you are using the latest firmware. Old firmware seems to be the cause of multiple faults and issues. Also, this accelerator seems to be extremely picky on what flash storage media brands it will work with." Source: http://us4.aminet.net/aminet/docs/he...OS_3.2-FAQ.txt |

I'm pretty sure all Amigas start counting at 1.1.1978. Usually the system time is taken from the boot volume if no RTC is present though - possibly the filesystem creation date (date of formatting)?

if the timestamp format was different between different Amiga's that would cause all kinds of software incompatibilities

My Amiga system date can not be set lower than 1.1.1991 (at least in WB Preferences).
