- Improved: Workbench (modernized, and as powerful as the OS 3.9 version, including new or updated Preference editors in the legacy OS 3.1-"GadTools" style. Its tools such as DiskCopy and Format fully support large media. Printer, hard disk and many other support tools have also been fixed and/or upgraded).

Notes/comments:
- This was primarily intended as a bug-fix release to the original Commodore AmigaOS 3.1 release code by Hyperion (unfinished by Commodore due to their bankruptcy on April 29, 1994).
- Roughly a month after its release, SetPatch and a copyright-adjusted re-spun ROM image were made available for download from Hyperion's website.
- On May 17, 2020, Hyperion released the official, developer release notes for 3.1.4.1, as well as the Locale Extras 45.315 disk which includes localization materials for Greek, Polish and Russian languages. These languages require additional system setup to work.
