Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

nieklinn88 just announced version 0.0.2 of FreeNOS on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This version contains bugfixes, enhancements, and new minor features. The
system
can now be compiled on many recent host platforms, including various Linux
distributions, BSD systems, and OpenSolaris. Several new functions were
added to
the libraries including fork(), which is now used to fork server processes
into
the background. A working URI parser was added to libparse. The Ext2Create
program was added to generate new Extended 2 FileSystems as a regular user,
and
replaces the external dependency on genext2fs.

Project description:

FreeNOS is an experimental microkernel operating system for learning
purposes.
The system is very experimental, yet it currently supports virtual memory,
simple task scheduling, and interprocess communication (IPC). It currently
contains support for a few devices, including VGA, keyboard, i8250 serial,
and
PCI host controllers. FreeNOS has an experimental implementation of several
filesystems, such as the virtual file system, procfs, tmpfs, and ext2fs.
Current
application libraries include libposix, libc, libteken (terminal emulation),
and
libexec (executable formats). All source code has been documented with
Doxygen
tags. It has been tested on recent versions of Qemu, VMWare, VirtualBox,
Bochs,
and bare hardware.
