Kurt Skauen, the AtheOS developer, writes: “The main focus have still been bug fixing and optimization but I have also added a few new features to the various API’s as well as a new tool for managing installation of command-line applications and a tool for adding, listing, and extracting resources to/from executable images. There is also a new set of classes and functions that help the applications to locate and load resources embedded in executable’s and DLL’s. Various other classes have also been added to the API and many of the existing classes has been extended. The TCP/IP stack have got an overhaul and are now performing much better than in previous versions. Especially on high-latency links. Take a look at the changes list for a more detailed list of changes since V0.3.6. Go and download the new version of AtheOS and if you have questions make sure you post them in the mailing list provided. Recently, we held an interview with Kurt where he explains a lot about the AtheOS goals and its future.
Hehe, it seems that the web site is down now he just put on the new release… Hmm, I thought Kurt had optimized the TPC/IP stack for better performance…
I have, I promice
I don’t know what went wrong but suddenly the front-end proxy-daemon grabbed all it’s allowed 150 connections to the back-end Apache server and it all locked up
I restarted the Apache daemon and it all started working again.
I just tried accessing the AtheOS site after reading a review in Linux Magazine, and it appears to be down again. I’ll be trying again over the next few days, but meantime, is there a mirror site anywhere to help those of us who have problems accessing the site?
Watching AtheOS since I first read about it at OSNews, I finally decided to give 0.3.7 a try…
What should I say? To keep a long story short: Kurt, good job, lots of respect to you! If you need some German translations of anything, just let me know!
