After a short period of development, today Vasper released a first beta of BeOS Max 4. Max is a ‘distribution’ of the free personal edition of BeOS R5, originally released 6 years ago by Be inc. Vasper started working on BeOS Max long before Zeta came to life and in the years after Be closed down it was of the two actively developed systems, to other being Developer edition also based on PE.
After the third version Vasper decided that he would not start working on a fourth version, but on a Haiku distro instead. However last January he announced that work on Max v4 had started, as a ‘test case’ for the planned Haiku distribution, and now three months later the first beta of v4 is done and available for testing.
