AROS: Review of this year's progress
Paolo Besser compiled some examples of this year's progress in the development of the AROS Research Operating System.
- January: After years of struggling with shell commands and DOpus actions, copying files became easy with Wanderer drag'n'drop
- February: A tap interface has been added to AROS hosted, completing network support
- March: AROS got packet file-systems support, increasing compatibility and coherency with original AmigaOS, and allowing AROS to manage FAT partitions. AROS got also an improved TCP/IP stack, with a new version of AROSTCP, and USB support
- April: Wanderer got a new decoration system, allowing windows to be customized with themes. Support for LUA and ARexx scripts has been improved too
- May: AROS changed its name in 'AROS Research Operating System' and aros.org got an heavy face-lift. Wanderer started showing only icons or all files, and a new community-driven site has born, ArosWorld.org
- June: AROS users decided the official windows and desktop wallpapers in an amusing competition
- September: AROS has been presented to the Amiga community in a conference at Pianeta Amiga. MUIbase and HivelyTracker have been ported too
- October: AROS got a new installer that made installation on hard disk easier. Now AROS can safely live on a disk together with Microsoft Windows
- November: AROS made a huge step ahead with its new 64-bit flavour
- December: Two new AROS distributions have been announced, Velocity and VmwAROS
