OS/2 Warp 3 build 8.152 (Japanese Beta 1) is the official Japanese Beta 1 build of OS/2 Warp 3. It was shared on the BetaWorld blog on 10 November 2024.[1]

Notable features[edit | edit source]

  • This build already features the sound set from the RTM, but without the startup and shutdown ones. For these sound events, it uses charge.wav and applause.wav instead.
  • The text-mode part of setup features a text marquee below the progress bar while copying files. The text is suggesting the user to fill out the registration card sent along with the product and send it back to IBM and explaining the benefits of that.
  • The boot screen features an additional animation in the "Please wait..." stage, where the OS/2 circles are disappearing one after another for half a second respectively.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]

The Sound applet cannot play a sound file while the sound event is set to "System startup".
