Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

nieklinn88 just announced version 0.0.4 of FreeNOS on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This release has new features, enhancements, and bugfixes. Shared/private
memory
mappings are supported in MemoryServer. Device(Server) classes were added
for
easy driver programming (which abstracts the IPC layer). ATA host
controllers
are supported (for read-only drive sectors). New devices include a VGA
device in
/dev/vga0. a keyboard device in /dev/keyboard0, an RTC Time device in
/dev/time0, a PCI filesystem implementation in /dev/pci, and a GRUB
filesystem
implementation in /dev/grub. Extra Doxygen documentation was added.

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,
ATA
drives, and PCI controllers. FreeNOS has an experimental implementation of
several filesystems, such as the virtual file system, procfs, tmpfs, linnfs,
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.
