As noted somewhere on this list, FreeDOS 1.1 is supposed to come out now 2011 (same had been previously promised for 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 too) after kernel 2040 comes out.
Some personal suggestions of mine what should come in: Base: KERNEL 2040 (hopefully fixed, if not, the fallback level is 2038, not broken 2039) FREECOM (updated (in progress ?) or not (from 2003)) SYS (update in progress ?)
