The first external beta version of 3.5 is shipping this week. The beta product testing will continue over the next several weeks until the final product is completed. Beta testers have been selected from all over the world, reflecting the global nature of the Amiga Community.
"We are excited to be so close to the release of 3.5. We realize it has been a long time since there has been an OS update for the Amiga systems and we want to make sure there is an ongoing and active interest in the current generation of Amiga systems as we move towards the release of the new Amiga products" said Jim Collas, President and CEO of Amiga.
We have been working with Haage and Partner to deliver an exciting upgrade and we now look forward to working with the external beta users to test and finalize the product for release this summer.
