-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello all
Some news for people who are waiting for the next major release of OpenGEM. "Huh?" Some people scratch their head. "Are you talking about the new multi-tasking OpenGEM/XM experimental code?" No. I'm not. The experimental OpenGEM/XM code is experimental. It's not going to be ready for general use for a while. The next major release of OpenGEM will be single-tasking, and will be building on OpenGEM 5. In other words, it'll be small, stable, and designed for easy use. OpenGEM 6 will bring some new features to the OpenGEM world. It's going to have support for HP deskjet printers and postscript printers "out-of-the-box", and work is underway to introduce a new package management system to make it easy to install and remove GEM applications. The newest development version of OpenGEM 6 is now online here: http://gem.shaneland.co.uk/downloads/OpenGEM6Dev2.zip It will be active at this link for at least seven days (until 20:00 GMT, March 20th). It has one big change from previous OpenGEM versions. There is a highly experimental new feature to put OpenGEM into only one folder on your C:\ drive. To do this, you get one folder (OPENGEM) and one file (GEM.BAT) in your C:\ root. When you run GEM.BAT it SUBSTs the OPENGEM folder to the imaginary drive O:. This feature may or may not make it into the final shipping version. Testing and feedback is requested.
