So we finally did it! The first official release of Vali (mollenos). The release encompasses a few years of hard development, a couple of rewrites and so many fixed issues. In short this is a personal accomplishment for me, and I'm so proud of being able to release this.

What this is not

... this release won't blow you away, and it won't be really usefull. This is still something I have to accomplish, but this release is the foundation for being the next great thing.

What this is

... is the first (of hopefully many) pre*1000 alpha test version, it is a small taste of what is yet to come. This release is a proof that I have what it takes to finish this, and it is the start of something great.

Who should download this

... the developer, the technology enthusiast, the reviewer and the critic. This is not intended for casual use, and the average person should not download this. This is a developer release which isn't meant for normal usage.

Features

  • Supported platforms: i386, amd64
  • Included drivers for X86 platform: pic, apic, cmos, rtc, pit, ps2 keyboard and mouse
  • Included drivers for generic platforms: ahci, ohci, ehci, uhci, hpet, acpi, usb-msd, usb-hid
  • Included filesystem support: mfs

  • Programming environments: C/C++

What to do with this release

You can play around in the terminal, and you can check out the layout of the application finder. Currently you can spawn two different applications through shortcuts.

  • F1 - Terminal
  • F2 - Window test application that runs for 15 seconds then shuts down, changing colors as it goes.
  • ALT+F - Application finder (You can type, and close it with escape)
