Kevin Lange has announced the release of ToaruOS 2.3.0, the latest version of the independently-developed hobby operating system built from scratch. It comes with a bootloader, kernel, drivers, C library and userspace, as well as a composited graphical user interface, a syntax-highlighting text editor and a network stack. Although newly added to DistroWatch, the project has been in continuous development since 2011. "ToaruOS 2.3 is now available. What's new? Terminal tabs - the terminal emulator now supports multiple tabs, create tabs with Ctrl-Shift-T, swap with Alt-1 through Alt-9. Manual viewer - a full man stack has been added, combining a roff formatter and a more complete more, plus a bunch of manual pages. Kernel improvements - tons of a new system calls like pread/pwrite, sigsuspend, sigqueue, fcntl, support for FD_CLOEXEC and FD_CLOFORK, TTY line control and hangups. And more - the latest Bim and Kuroko versions; tons of new utilities and new options in existing utilities." Visit the project's release page on GitHub for a detailed changelog, known issues and screenshots. The same page also offers an ISO image to download; it is a standard x86_64 PC build with native bootloaders and, according to the developer, should work in most virtual machines using BIOS. Here is the download link: v2.3.0/image.iso (7.14MB). |
