Hi everybody, please have a look at the updated FreeDOS kernel changelog :-)
http://freedos.svn.SF.net/viewvc/freedos/kernel/trunk/docs/history.txt?view=markup While "only" the first 130 lines are new, comments are welcome for the first 300 lines. Overview of the lines: Line 275-299 Build 2035a (for reference) Line 133-272 Build 2036cvs (may need cleanup / contain 2037 stuff) Line 67-130 Build 2038pre (basically the FreeDOS 1.0 kernel) Line 10- 64 Build 2038 (upcoming kernel release :-)) Line 3- 7 General information about bugzilla and SVN www page The sections about 2038pre and 2038 involved a lot of help from Geraldo, who condensed our long SVN log to a manageable summary. Thanks for that, Sir :-). Please check the changelog for bugs and let me know if there are kernel issues which should be fixed "yesterday". Otherwise I would like to make a SourceForge file release for kernel 2038 soon, if possible this week :-). As our internal version number can count to 255, we can move to 2039 as soon as we want, which is why I would suggest not to wait for further patches for 2038. The changes for 2038pre and 2038 can be grouped in: - changes between 2036cvs and FreeDOS 1.0 (only 4 items) - changes merged from Tom's extra stable fork of kernel 2035a - changes from Bart and me for 2038pre - changes from Bart and me for 2038 I hope it is okay that I did not sort changes further into Bart's changes and my changes. This allowed me to keep the changelog close to being chronologically sorted. As far as I can tell, kernel 2038 should fix the following 7 bugs: - 1748 DATE fails to store (or read?) year > 2000 on AMD SC400 embedded system - 1793 djgpp grep called from within rhide doesn't end - 1840 a:sys b: requires numerous disk swaps with single floppy system - 1854 Turbo c++ 3.0 fails to run - 1862 CHDIR fails on substituded drives - 1953 21h/29h returns 0 (valid) for all drive root names up to LASTDRIVE - 1956 All file opens fail under specific conditions Several other bugs were fixed even before they arrived in Bugzilla :-) Thanks in advance for reviewing the changelog, and have a nice start of the summertime period if your timezone has one :-).
