Scalos beta version 40.22 released

[System]

Wow, didn't know that Scalos were still around!!

Last I heard of them was on a CU Amiga cover CD a few years ago, so I automatically thought that they were about to sink without trace ;-)

I suppose that this is the nearest that the Amiga Community have to and alternative window manager/gadget set like in th Linux community.

I wonder if the AROS guys ever talked with them?  Would save a lot of GUI design time if Scalos sould be ported! :-D

We don't *want* to patch existing things - that just turns Scalos into a big old stinky hack...

Currently Scalos can do everything itself - and in many cases much faster.  Keeping it totally independant from any OS3.5/3.9 updates allows Scalos to

a) run on OS3.0/3.1
b) run on MorphOS without any legal mess
c) be totally self contained

We do support the newer features of OS3.5+ by offering plugins and compatible APIs.

The Scalos feature list is a little out of date, but reading the recent history page can provide some incite into what we're working on.

More to the point - what do *you* guys want out of Scalos?
