  • TextEdit has gained an ARexx port per open document

  • Dropping files on the console will now activate the console window
  • The screen will no longer remain black if you start up without any attached drive
  • Eject menu item in Workbench;

On the 21st of December, just before Christmas Hyperion provides the first free update of AmigaOS 3.2. It demonstrates their dedication to ensuring that AmigaOS 3.2 is the most capable and most stable operating system ever for the 68K-based Amigas.

Also, Hyperion’s advice is to not use DiagROMs as several new updates for AmigaOS 3.2 will require Kickstart ROM upgrades more frequently than before.
