AROS ABIv0 20201110 Development

[paolone]

After all, the point of integrating D7 into Icaros Desktop is exactly seeing the interaction with AROS software.

In case you are reporting something related to core system (that came on my build iso), please repeat to test the with raw ISO to provide more context

ok

[deadwood]

Welcome to 2020!

New ISO available: https://axrt.org/development/AROS-20200108-D10-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

Known issues:
  - mouse pointer shape is not loading from preferences - will be fixed in final version

Please pay spacial attention to InstallAROS - there were some changes and I fixed a few bugs, but I don't know if I fixed all of them.
Also this build brings a number of functional additions (see change log). You might want to try them out.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Good job deadwood, I will test the Build right away, after that I will integrate it on AROS One, and check compatibility with third party software !

[Amiwell]

Great Deadwood

[AMIGASYSTEM]

deadwood, ScreenMode goes in GURU, see screenshot !

Pointer prefs works fine, in the Build preferences probably there is corrupted pointer.prefs.

Of course im "SVGA" Mode the 32Bit Poniter is not supported yet, it works fine though in VESA, see screenshot

[deadwood]

The guru in ScreenMode - is this under VESA or VMSVGA?

[Amiwell]

i booted the iso in my system vesa and native graphics works, sysexplorer and showconfig works, the classic aros pointer do not show

[deadwood]

@Amiwell

Ok, thx for test

[Amiwell]

sys/utilities/help about corruption works again in the previus iso there is a coruption on requester

[deadwood]

It still crashes for me under hosted. I made note to look into this.

[Amiwell]

ok deadwood

[AMIGASYSTEM]

The guru in ScreenMode - is this under VESA or VMSVGA?

The Guru appears in both VESA and SVGA

[ncafferkey]

I installed D10 to USB stick from VirtualBox without problems.

I noticed two problems that aren't new (they also occur in the reference build):
 - ClickToFront doesn't work if caps lock is on. I'm guessing this is a side effect of it not working (presumably deliberately) when shift is held down.
 - You can draw boxes on empty areas of Wanderer windows if you hold down shift intermitently. See screenshot [actually, I can't post that because it's a whopping 391k, and I have better things to do than convert it].

[AMIGASYSTEM]

You just convert the image to JPG and an 800x600 or 860/640 resolution, and degrade the image quality to the size required by the forum, see my screenshots

[deadwood]

@All

Thanks for the tests. I'm now proceeding with update to our final base for this release. If you find additional regression, please keep reporting them.
