AROS 20250313-1 released

[deadwood]

New version of 32-bit x86 AROS base system is now available for download.

This version integrates last three years of AROS development and brings 32-bit kernel to the same level as upcoming 64-bit AROS release. New kernel brings improved support for newer, ACPI-enabled hardware, complemented by improvements to disk and network drivers as well as updates to core system libraries and more than 60 bug fixes across AROS programs and libraries. Additional work has been put in stabilizing drivers for virtual environment (VirtualBox, VMware and QEMU) so that you can try AROS first in virtualization before deciding on purchasing a dedicated hardware.
