- Hi Folks,
-
- It's been over a week since the end of Hackathon I and I'm sure some
- of you are wondering when we'll release a BleedingEdge update or
- 1.99p. The answer is "real soon now". Once again, I am the gating
- factor. I was out of town Friday through Sunday morning, I then was
- asleep the rest of Sunday. I spent half of Monday attacking some of
- my pending e-mail and the other half on personal matters. Today I
- need to get all our pending orders out (have to go out and pick up
- some spare floppy disks and get some more copies of the FAQ printed
- up), hack through my pending e-mail and then I can get back to
- finishing up some System 7 filesystem work and then release a
- BleedingEdge version.
-
- I don't want to release a BleedingEdge version before I have my
- filesystem stuff finished because the "-system 7" option will be much
- more useful with my filesystem mods.
-
- Last week, before I left town, I did manage to successfully install
- OS/2 (had to do it via floppies -- ick) and Caldera Network Desktop
- (super simple installation -- no floppies) on "Presto", our portable
- demo unit. I'm guessing that tracking down the HPFS related Executor
- problems will now be fairly easy -- the hardest part will be finding
- the time to do so.
-
- Mat's still hard at work on the NEXTSTEP (re)port. Cotton is busy
- developing some advanced error reporting code (no more cryptic
- backtraces). Melissa is about a month away from moving to Albuquerque
- and collectively we have a good idea of what our goals are for 2.0,
- although we haven't drafted a specific 2.0 document yet. As soon as
- we do, we'll run it by everyone here for comments.
