"This [release] is a true gem for developers. SkyOS got a lot of under-the-hood work, the Integrated Streaming System and the networking stack have been reworked, the API has been standardised, missing libraries and functions have been added and a lot of bugs have been resolved. I think what we're seeing is a quasi-feature freeze. This actually serves its purpose, SkyOS is now much more stable, reliable and responsive than before."

while you are posting the above as a flamebait
How is it flamebait? Explain, please. Could be of course that your personal problems with me are to blame, but I await your explanation.
You do know that development snapshots (aka alpha versions) are being made and the select team of alpha testers has been established just for the very purpose of quality assurance.
All mighty fine, but do you and the other few alpha team members have the possibility to fix things? Or can you only report them? Can you look at the code to spot obvious errors that Robert's missed (much like we at OSNews review eachother's articles?). Are you all experienced enough coders to help Robert with fixing bugs, if you actually *could* look at the code? Or can you only say "xyz doesn't work, here's a debug log, have fun Robert"?
You do have a point, because this rtl issue should have been fixed a long time ago, but obviously has been overlooked.
Even though numerous debug logs were sent, information was provided-- months and months ago. Apparantly, OR Robert doesn't have the time to fix a pressing issue like this one, OR he is simply unsable to. In both cases, having more than one core developer would help.
So, I do not see how this could be perceived as flamebait. Aside from any personal souer, of course.

This mechanism has proven itself to work quite good. You do have a point, because this rtl issue should have been fixed a long time ago, but obviously has been overlooked. The recent improvements in the network stack are a beginning to fixing all the relevant issues - including network driver bugs.
