--> H.I.D.D.E.N P.A.R.T
=====================
Voici, en anglais, les caract_ristiques de l'OS 4.0 que nous promet Hyperion et
Amiga Inc. Cela a l'air int_ressant mais le mieux serait quand m_me d'avoir
autre chose qu'une liste a nous proposer...
Current work centers around Intuition and Reaction, 2D/3D drivers, A1 Bios,
additional kernel functionality (virtual addressing and page-based memory
handling) and the integration of the 68K emulation into the system.
~Here are the modules that make up AmigaOS 4:
- Exec Second Generation (Exec SG)
- Exec is the AmigaOS kernel and was written in 68K assembly for AmigaOS 3.1. It
has been rewritten in C, as ExecSG, for AmigaOS 4.
- The following features are planned for ExecSG:
Hardware abstraction layer (HAL)
Virtual addressing (for automatic stack enlargement etc.)
Page-based memory handling (less fragmentation and more efficient)
Virtual memory
New library interface
Resource tracking and management
Optional memory protection
WarpOS backwards compatibility
- Just in Time (JIT) 68K emulation
- PPC native TCP/IP stack & PPP drivers (fastest on the platform)
- Re-implementation of the Amiga file system (FFS2) for PPC

- PPC native CD Filesystem (with limited Mount Rainier support, use your CDRW as
a floppy)
- Recovery and Salvage tools for FFS2 and SFS
- PPC native CD back-up tool
- PPC native RTG system : Picasso 96 V3
- PPC native arithmetically optimised version of layers.library
- Warp3D (3D driver system)
- OpenGL 1.3 support (Mesa 4.0)
- PPC native RTA system based on AHI (with Soundblaster Live! Drivers)
- PPC native GUI system (Intuition and Reaction)
- PPC native shell
- PPC native version of "Amidock"
- PPC native utility for archiving and de-archiving
- SCSI drivers for onboard (UW) SCSI controllers
- AmigaInput API (for multimedia controller devices)
- USB stack (already adapted for the Highway and Subway hardware)
- PPC native datatypes
- New HDToolbox ("Media Toolbox")
- Support for TrueType/OpenType fonts
- Web-browser (Ibrowse 2.3)
- MUI PPC (for legacy applications)
- Reading/printing of PDF files
- PPC native rewrite of DOS library
- PPC native movieplayer ("Action" with DivX and MPEG4 support
- PPC native devices
- Generic PPC native PCI library
