Hi all Oberon and Bluebottle fans Release 0.7 of the Unix ports of Bluebottle for Linux, MacOSX and Solaris is finished and can be downloaded from; "ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-bremen.de/home/fld/oberon/UnixAos" Changes since release 0.6: New in release 0.7; - The System now uses the compiler and sources of the Bluebottle release of 29.11.2007. Several base modules have been renamed to be in sync with the Bluebttle module naming. - The stacksize for active objects is adjustable via the environment variable AOSCONFIG. The default value is 128 (kilobytes). - System parameters red by Machine.GetConfig can be specified by the environment variable AOSCONFIG. This is done in the editable start script (aos). - The old Oberon object finalization (Kernel.RegisterObject) has been completly removed and got replaced by the Aos variant which calls the finalization procedures in a separate thread. New in release 0.63: - Trap handling is now done in a separate stack. The needed sigaltstack function didn't work in older Linux releases and had therefor been disabled. With the alternate trap stack the system is finally able to handle stack overflow events in active objects. New in release 0.62: - X11 exposure events and F9 get handled by the windowmanager (Unix/WindowManager.Mod) - stacksize for active objects increased from 192 KB to 256 KB (Unix/AosActive.Mod) - bug fixes (Unix/kbdMouse.Mod, Unix/Aos.Oberon.Mod) - code cleanup (x86/Unix/Kernel.mod, x86/Unix/Exceptions.Mod, Unix/AosConsole.Mod) New in release 0.61: - based on BB sources of 2007/08/23 - Support for 'safe' active objects added. They now get restartet after a trap - ctrl- and alt-keys can again substitute missing MM- and MR-buttons - The system no longer gets locked up at heavy text scrolling - System is now useable (stable) on MacOSX systems too
