ELKS 0.0.80 has been released and is available from the following sites:- ftp://ftp.ecs.soton.ac.uk/pub/elks/elks-0.0.80 ftp://linux.mit.edu/pub/ELKS/kernel/elks-0.0.80 This is the first release for a while, and it contains a number of significant bug fixes:- The bug that meant that the floppy was not spinning down reliably which was due to the code that called the BIOS timer interrupt not reliably detecting that irq0 was being called, is now fixed. The problem with 14 character length filenames was fixed by Blaz Antonic. The bug in fchown() that meant tty ownership was not handled correctly was fixed by Blaz Antonic. The bug in map_buffer() which meant that a buffer did not get freed every time a directory entry was created has been fixed. In addition, much of the filesystem has been cleaned yp by Thomas G. McWilliams and various new features and code optimisations have been included. I have also started work on making ELKS build for use in small embedded systems, in preparation for merging work contributed by another developer. This is the first release to be made since the new bug tracking web page went online.
