Clock: A context menu has been added. The second hand now ticks with a smooth, realistic animation.

Yutani: The nested compositor can now be closed more easily with Alt-F4.

Bug fixes: A crash in the text input box library has been corrected. A typo in the Wizard's screen describing package management has been corrected.

Live CD: The live CD session now exits to the login manager rather than rebooting. The login manager is not running by default, but will start when you first log out (and then remains running).

The kernel version has been bumped for release tracking reasons. If you are using an existing netboot image, you may continue doing so and ignore the upgrade notifications, or upgrade to the attached image.

Known Issues

There are no specific known issues with this release.

Usage

VirtualBox is the recommended environment for running ToaruOS. QEMU is also supported. Using ToaruOS on real hardware is not recommended and we are not responsible for any issues you may encounter or damage this may cause. Other virtual machines and emulators are not supported and may not work. It is not recommended that you run ToaruOS in Bochs as the UI requires considerably higher performance than Bochs is capable of providing. When using QEMU, KVM is preferred but acceptable performance should be possible with the non-accelerated TCG backend on modern hardware.

  • VirtualBox:
    • OS Type: Other/Unknown
    • Memory: At least 1024MB for in-memory package storage.
    • Video Memory: May need to be adjusted if you have a large display
  • QEMU
    • qemu-system-i386 -M accel=kvm:tcg -m 1G -vga std -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -soundhw ac97,pcspk -cdrom toaruos.iso -serial stdio

To use the package manager, run sudo get-py to see a list of packages and sudo get-py vim (for example) to install a package. Packages must be downloaded from our servers and this process may be slow, please be patient.
