Today, Jerome Shidel from the FreeDOS project announced the availability of FreeDOS 1.4 RC1, the first release candidate of the upcoming 1.4 release.
The FreeDOS 1.4-RC1 Release Build (aka T2501) is now available at:
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-s…ributions/test/
Please note, that as a “Release Candidate” the RBE does a couple minor things a little different. Primarily, it does not swap out the color theme for the FreeDOS installer. So unlike an Interim Test Build, you will not see a black background in the main installer. Instead you will see the blue background used on a release.
Also, the RBE builds from the media using the “candidate” and/or “master” project branches. Therefore any project or package updates that are pushed to GitLab under an “unstable” branch will not cause changes to the RC or eventual Final release of version 1.4.
Furthermore, the online update repository for FreeDOS 1.4 (RC1 and later) is now “officially” active. It has the latest version of the packages from the RC1 build. It also contains the majority of packages which are “download only” (for example, ClamAV) and not provided on any of the Release Media. Also, the “unstable” download repository has been purged and loaded with the packages for 1.4-RC1.
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-s…html/index.html
Following is a list of changes since FreeDOS 1.3. As I have mentioned before, the RBE does some filtering on this list. I also preformed some manual filtering to remove most general housekeeping, CI/CD and NLS related commit messages. As a reminder, packages that are not maintained on the GitLab Archive usually only get a “updated to x.y.z” message when they are brought up to date. That could be a simple update or one that contains many changes. For those, you need to check inside the package for a changelog or check upstream.
🙂
Jerome
Since the current stable version 1.3 was released almost three years ago, the changelog is astonishing:
