I'm not sure there's enough time to squeeze every last bit into the upcoming release. It's basically finished, AFAIK. I think it might be wise not to get our hopes too high to cram literally every fix in there, instead preferring a (long-term) 1.3 release for anything further (especially to lessen pressure on Jerome, who has enough on his plate). > I am currently > installing FreeDOS on my old MMX233-Laptop (on which I ported > svgatextmode back to DOS [1] years ago :D), but I use dosemu as well.

Not official, no, not that I'm aware of, but anything by Jeremy (PerditionC) is probably semi-official since he's a major contributor. https://github.com/PerditionC/fdkernel > So, I'd think the usual way is that I attach patches to bugs in the SF > bugtracker.

Either is okay, but eventually someone (me?) will have to grab them and put them elsewhere. FreeCOM is a bad example since it's fairly complex and nobody seems majorly interested in maintaining it. So, for example, I did manually mirror two patches (setp, shift) to here, just so that they wouldn't be lost / hard to find / unknown (lacking any better, more perfect, solution): http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/command/patch/ > And is there something like a release script for tools?

The new MODE release wasn't formally announced (nor to me), nor did I get any .ZIP to disseminate. So I only propagated the tiny patch. But now that I see the .ZIP, I've mirrored it to the traditional place (and symlinked it with release date in the name for clarity): http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/mode/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
