"This release features new core components like the integrated mouse gestures, new Font system and API, new applications (Pixel Image Editor, ...) and various driver/system updates as well as more than 200 fixed bugs reported in our bug tracking system." In addition, the SkyOS team has decided that the version numbers got too confusing. Therefore, SkyOS v5 will now simply be named SkyOS. I might even start missing the "SkyOS v5 Beta 8.4 Alpha 1 of the 3rd Beta Released" headlines. In any case, here's the changelog.

If anyone's interested, I've got a few SkyGI example programs. Maybe see if you like the API before trying for a Developer Beta account.
Anyway, here's the link:

I'm seriously considering signing up for a beta. For toying and programming mostly. I'm just bothered by the 'standard' design where everything is hidden in nested upon nested menu's behind a big 'start' button, instead of simple menu's with at most 1 nestinglevel and multiple smaller buttons (1 for apps, 1 for config etc.). As far as I'm concerned the big button concept has had it's best time.
This is just my beef with a lot of desktops though.

Does the ghttpd web server support server side scripting? There was talk of porting PHP to SkyOS a while back, but I've taken my eye off the ball as far as this OS is concerned. SkyOS running PHP with SQLLite would be a nice little platform to play around with 
I must go download that beta and see how far it's progressed since I last tried it (2 betas ago, I think)
My congratulations to the developer(s!) and other members of the SkyOS team.
[EDIT] Oops! I meant to post this on the SkyOS Webserver thread. Apologies for that!

Beta 10, Beta 11, Beta 13...Beta 55, Beta 56. Their whole Beta testing is becoming a joke. They will keep on releasing Beta versions forever.
Have you looked at how many bugs have been fixed since the last beta? I suppose you're used to Microsoft's method of using customers to beta test the software that's marked as release level. Me, I'll stick with someone who calls beta software beta.
Frequent updates are nice because I can get some of the more annoying bugs fixed instead of having to wait another six months until all (or most all) bugs are taken care of. Again, you're too used to the MS method of fixing (some) bugs only once a year (unless they make the news).
