AROS x86_64: V20230430-1 of ABI-v11 developer branch
The AROS developer Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz had given his stable branch of AROS for 64-bit Intel and AMD processors the code name 'ABIv11' to distinguish it from the in-progress ABIv1 version in the main AROS repository. It has now updated this to version "20230430-1". The new release includes improvements and fixes made since December 2022. Thus, for the first time, the developer also offers an alpha version of an ISO image of AROS, which can be tested in a virtual environment or on real hardware. Changes in detail:

  • Restore build and functioning on pc-x86_64 AROS (deadwood)
  • Make native kernel more reselient in case of early error (deadwood, Kalamatee)
  • Added broadcom4400.device network driver (Neil)
  • Synchronize on use of ISO-8859-2 for Polish across all builds (deadwood)
  • First working version of nvme.device is available (Kalamatee)
  • Implemented FORMAT64 and SEEK64 commands in ahci.device (Kalamatee)
  • Stabilized handling of WARM reset, implemented missing shutdown handlers (Kalamatee)
  • Requesters add scroll bars if too much text is shown (Kalamatee)

  • exec.library (bugs: wrong disassembly due to wrong start address) (deadwood)
  • ata.device (bugs: media insert/eject detection not working) (deadwood)
  • muimaster.library (bugs: MUIA_String_Acknowledge not readable) (deadwood)
  • png.datatype (bugs: 1-bit APLHA pngs not supported) (deadwood)
  • fat-handler (bugs: partition check too strict) (deadwood)
  • InstallAROS (bugs: not working with > 2GB RAM) (deadwood)
