Those old commercial games would be great. But, unfortunately very few were ever released to open source or even a public license. So, we can not include most of those games. But, if you know of any, that have gone open source. Please share some URLs. We might be able to add them as extras on 1.3. :-) >> If anyone is interested in doing some translating, let us know >> here and head over to the repo and grab the CSV file.

A deadline would be nice so I know until when > I can procrastinate :) Well, 1.2 was rather insane towards the final release. There were a bunch of language additions and feature requests that were added nearly right up until 1.2 final. That’s not happing again! We haven’t set any hard dates for 1.3 yet. But, The “schedule” for 1.2 was well received by many. I think we are shooting for a similar one for 1.3. If all goes well (and if Jim agrees), here is a tentative deadline schedule. August 31 — No new software packages. (Some existing packages may receive critical updates until Final) September 30 — No new languages. No new installer features or fundamental changes. Method used for a LiveCD should also be finalized. October 31 — RC1. Fine tuning, Bug fixes, typos and etc. November 22 — RC2. Bug fixes. December 25 — Final. > > As a simple reminder, translations for French and Turkish have been > completed on <http://freedoslocal.sourceforge.net/> for all the listed > packages, so IMHO it would be nice to include them for FreeDOS 1.3.

We probably can’t include that on the release. However, I’ll have to check it’s license. Maybe able to include it on the official software repo and/or my repo. Another reason I really need to get around to adding multiple online repo support to FDIMPLES. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-devel mailing list > Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
