Good to hear some AROS news. It's been a while.

This has probably been my hardest and most plagued release. I can't even remember how many issues I got creating it, and how many problems I had to fix before cleaning everything. And when the puzzle seemd complete, first feedbacks indicated that the Icon menu of workbench wasn't working properly.

So I blocked downloads and now the new beta 0.9.1 is out. There are really many and many enhancements since version 0.8, with new software and system features. I hope you'll all enjoy it.

Cheers,

p.bes

Thank you for your hard work. The award for the most important non-developer goes clearly to you. (Some years ago this would have been Dammy)

Oh... well... thanks... but anyone actually using AROS and doing any evangelism is important. :)

No recent sign of that...

AROS needs more news updates.

Great job! Time to get out a fresh HD and throw that baby on there.  :-) Too bad that I'm out of DVD-Rs, but I'll try it as soon as possible.

Isn't it reported on the top title bar? I have three apps shot on the website with black bg, so it can be either the IRC client WookieChate, the MMORPG Eternal Lands, or the SDL game Kobo Deluxe.

Hope it can be helpful.
