-
- NOTE: This is beta. If you want this code, then have a look at our
- \lref{Links}{Links} See also the
- \lref{Section about CVS}{CVS}.
-
- Things we currently work on:
-
- \begin{itemize}
- \item ANSI C library for AROS
- \item A own C compiler for AROS (VBCC)
- \item diskfont.library and icon.library
- \item AROS on Amiga (maybe even bootable)
- \item CLI commands
- \item Splitting AROS into small packages
- \item Small developer package for Amiga
- \end{itemize}
-
- \section{AROS 1.10}
-
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Bugfixes
- \item Worked on docs
- \item Many (50+) new functions in c.lib and amiga.lib
- \item Big endian IO functions in aros.library
- \item Amiga native and Linux/m68k versions. Amiga is still alpha.
- \item A *pre* alpha of VBCC with i386 support. This is only loosely
- connected to AROS. See the README in the directory
- \filename{AROS/compiler/vbcc/}.
- \item iffparse.library completed
- \item Exec 90% completed, DOS 50% completed, Graphics 15%, Intuition 25%.
- All in all 30% of the whole work is completed.

- \section{AROS 1.9}
-
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Real preemptive multitasking like on Amiga
-
- \item Many files were missing in the dev distribution :-(
-
- \item Some bugfixes
-
- \item FreeBSD/i386 support
-
- \item Amiga users can now participate. Read \filename{README.CVS} for
- more info.
-
- \item Much easier to port to a new hardware. Moved OS specific files from
- the various directories to \filename{AROS/config/$(ARCH)} and the CPU
- specific files to \filename{AROS/config/$(KERNEL)}.
-
- \item HTML docs
-
- \end{itemize}
-
- \section{AROS 1.8}

- \item Renamed "\filename{openwin}" to
- "\filename{demowin}".
-
- \item Implemented PROPGADGETS
-
- \item Even more bugfixes (librarytest works now :)
-
- \item Many new README's. Developers should have a look at
- \filename{README.porting}, \filename{README.contents},
- \filename{README.CVS} and \filename{README.jobserv} depending on
- what they want to do.
-
- \item Many new function from M. Fleischer (we have now 236 funcions in all)
-
- \item Many new function from I. Templeton (Utility.library)
-
- \item \filename{NIL:} and \filename{RAM:} devices from M.
- Fleischer

- \item AROS now uses the AFD-COPYRIGHT
-
- \item ***Developers: If you update from 1.7, you *MUST* call "make
- clean" because some headers have been added.
-
- \item New CLI commands: \filename{Mount}, \filename{Assign},
- \filename{MakeDir}, \filename{Delete}
-
- \end{itemize}
-
- \section{AROS 1.7}

- \begin{itemize}
- \item The demo "\filename{openwin}" gets more and more complex
-
- \item First steps to introduce Ressource Tracking and Purify into the AmigaOS
-

- for now)
-

-
- \item Some small bugfixes

-
- \item A shell is available and some 10 commands to test it
- (like \filename{Dir}, \filename{List},
- \filename{Echo}, etc).
