Hi,
Some good news! First of all, we arrived at final code base for this release. This mean, bearing unforeseen circumstances, following builds should be more incremental in nature, having only a few changed components. The other good news is that I've been able to push even further than initially planned - the base has been moved to 20201110! In total the new release will have 1400 commits from various developers integrated!
Here are topic that still needs to be addressed before official release:
- ATA=off switch
- kernel needs IOAPIC disabled for nVidia PCI-E cards to work
- Sys:Utilities/Help -> About crash
- Prefs/ScreenMode crash
- possible binary incompatibility with functions taking RAWARG
- Dual-PNG icons are not working
- Insert/Eject CD does not mount/unmount volumes
- AmiStart does not work
- RNOTunes - not working buttons
- regression in GCC tests
- C++ programs cannot be linked
-
https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/issues/86 - ACPI Reboot/Shutdown on VMs
- Acer Aspire One / Eepc USB problems
Please report additional regression if found. As mentioned there will be following builds addressing these problems.
Additionally, for distribution maintainers: Please note that there were several header (.h) and library files (.a) removed from Development:include and Development:lib. This was done on purpose. Please also remove them from your distributions. Best approach would be to delete your Development: and re-create it based on what's on the ISO + what's in contrib archive.
