Despite Commodore’s demise in 1994, the Amiga operating system marches on — bolstered now by a fresh dump of more than 50 bug fixes and tweaks.

Toms' Hardware noticed a bulletin posted on its site a few days ago, Hyperion said the update marks two years of tinkering, polishing and retrofitting to make the 680x0-based OS just a bit less crusty.

The update includes overhauls to ReAction, the GUI toolkit Hyperion now backs as standard for AmigaOS. TextEditor users can roll their own custom macro menus, and chip RAM fanatics will be pleased to learn 12KB of the stuff is no longer reserved. There’s a new Kickstart 3.2.3 ROM and repairs for ancient bits like DiskDoctor and HDToolbox.

It’s odd to think this all started in 1992 when AmigaOS 3.0 arrived alongside the Amiga 1200. AmigaOS 3.1 landed a year later with the ill-fated CD32. After that, things went a bit sideways. In 2018, Hyperion rebooted development with AmigaOS 3.1.4, eventually kicking off the 3.2 lineage in 2021. The latest update continues that branch.

If you already own AmigaOS 3.2, the new release is yours for free. If not, you can still grab it through official sellers like RetroPassion UK. While it runs on older Kickstart 3.1 ROMs, the full benefit comes with the latest 3.2.3 ROMs. Yes, it still works on crusty old hardware like an A500 with a 68000 — but it  shines on more modern setups using Arm accelerators like PiStorm.

Meanwhile, AmigaOS 4.X continues on its PowerPC tangent, which isn’t so much a successor as a different beast entirely. MorphOS and AROS are off doing their own thing too, chasing different architectures like PowerPC, x86, and Arm — but far removed from the dusty charm of late '80s Amiga.
