The months keep coming, and thus, the monthly progress reports keep coming, too, for Redox, the new general purpose operating system written in Rust. This past month, there’s been considerable graphics improvements, better deadlock detection in the kernel, improved Unicode support thanks to switching over to ncurses library variant with Unicode support, and much more. Alongside these, you’ll find the usual long list of kernel, driver, and relibc changes, bugfixes, and improvements.
This month also covered three topics we’ve already discussed individually: Redox’ new no-“AI” code policy, capability-based security in Redox, and the brand-new CPU scheduler.
If only they released somewhat newer ISO, I would try it!
The existing image is almost 2 years old , now.
They probably aim at 1.0 version now, but it would make sense to do some fresh pre-release as well …
There are daily images here for you to try:

Thank you! I will try them. I knew I chose a good forum to ask 🙂
You can build it

Thanks, but if I have spare half an hour , I prefer finished media to maximize chances of success . It may help someone else, though.
