Hi! Trying to sort through the log on https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/changes.log it seems that most changes are NLS updates, build infrastructure, documentation and similar. Actual app changes seem to be those: - Sayswho (Senso) game now with

Re: [Freedos-devel] Interim FreeDOS Build T2208

More than 55 of the NLS updates are from me - and NO real updates. I simply checked the original NLS versions and added an UTF-8 file to the german cp850/858 file as it was already done in French and Turkish. I am not sure if my and Berkis UTF-8 files should be in this FreeDOS version, they are

Hi! I agree it would be good to have a changelog visible before downloading those 100s of megabytes :-) In particular, are there updates in the kernel? Should people test the improved Windows for Workgroups 3.11 compatibility that I vaguely remember not having been on time for the latest normal
