| AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6 with AmiUpdate ;) |
Hyperion Entertainment released Update 6 for AmigaOS 4.1 and all supported hardwares out there!
Earlier today i was just browsing AmigaWorld when i came over a topic referring to Update 6, so i logged myself into Hyperion Entertainment's home page, clicked into the download section for AmigaOS 4.x and found Update 6! Before doing the update, i read the guide which said this update only needs the previous Update 5 installed in the system, so i downloaded the Update 6 archive to my USB pen and unpacked it to Diverse, and from there i just clicked Install for Update 6.

| AmiUpdate now officially supported by AmigaOS! |
The visual change done in Update 6 is that AmiUpdate is now officially supported by AmigaOS! That means when being a registered Amiga user through Hyperion Entertainment home page where you downloaded your registered Amiga products, you type in your username and password the first time, and AmiUpdate will now also check for updates to AmigaOS and it's components, tools and applications. Simply put, AmiUpdate is now a standard updater for AmigaOS, and AmigaOS 4.2 will surely have this included! This is very promising and makes future updates easier for AmigaOS! AmigaOS now becomes more serious and professional that way! Like a true, modern AmigaOS!
A great example of how this new official function in AmiUpdate works (in addition to have a new WB menu saying "Update Software" ) is that when the Hyperion Entertainment registered username and password have been typed for log in, AmiUpdate for instance finds an update to the AmigaOS4 calculator, which was actually the case for me. so it just did that! Very easy! Very cool!
Apart from this official AmiUpdate support, the small improvements of Update 6 seem to be in speed, performance and stability. Nothing much visible, but the minor improvements are there. All in all, this is a very promising, minor update!

Made a new backup of my system, and all in all i am very happy! Everything works as a charm! Time to have fun!
Very soon Warp3D for RadeonHD should appear, and then i can play 3D games and do some serious graphic work. I dear to say AmigaOS 4.1.6 is probably the update that starts making AmigaOS look and feel more professional and serious!
Enjoy the blog, and see you again soon ;) If you haven't installed Update 6 yet, then log into Hyperion Entertainment with your username and password, click the download section, click AmigaOS 4.x updates and Update 6. Read first the instructions which say AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5 is needed for the update, so just install Update 6 over your previous Update 5 setup. That's it. Nothing else.
This completes another fine blog for now ;) Enjoy the new update ;)
