This thread is dedicated to testing selected Nighly builds for regressions.

Please test ISOs shared in this thread in isolation - that is install them to pendrive and test if they work on your hardware. ISO's shared in this thread are not good to update your stable installations. Also please never compile and release software based on nightly installation.

Please report in this thread if:

a) Official release ISO (20250418) works on your system, but a provided Nightly build no longer works
b) A program works correctly on official release, but fails on provided Nighly build

There is a new Nightly build which I would like to ask you to re-test.

History:
- integrates ~150 changes from Kalamatee from May and June period

Areas to test:
- does it still boot on your hardware
- updates: freetype2.library, png.library, jfif.library, SysExplorer, webp.datatype, bz2.library, z1.library
- new: tiff.library. tiff.datatype

Note: Official update containing these changes in planned for September.

Thanks deadwood, I'll start running some tests, and if everything goes well, I'll try to integrate this build into AROS One.

At the moment, there are no startup issues on WMware, but I found a problem with the Palette application: once it is running, the edges of the window turn pink, as shown in the attached video.

Tested 20250815-024305 with Pendrive on Native PC, it started smoothly but using ‘noacpi’ in grub.cfg.

The App Palette problem is also confirmed on the native PC. Also in this new Build ZuneARC does not unpack bz2 archives. The old ‘Proc’ disk request also occurs in this build when you try to unpack TGZ and TAR.GZ archives with ZuneARC. This may be due to ZuneARC ?

I give a try...but i could not because the ISO image didn't have a partition table (as it says Balena Etcher).

The easiest way to prepare a USB flash drive is using Virtual Box or VMWare:

Farox, no software can write an AROS ISO to a Pendrive. The author of ‘Rufus’ (who used an Amiga 500 as a child) once tried, but when he saw the system composition, he said he was unable to do it.

The solution is as mentioned by retrofaza: in practice, you boot the ISO from a VM (I use WMware), then install the AROS build on the Pendrive, which will eventually become a Live Pendrive that can be booted on a PC.

The only precaution is that in some cases it is necessary to thoroughly clean the Pendrive of any partitions and remove any bootloader that is not AROS. The Pendrive must remain raw without any partitions.

You can clean the USB stick on a PC with a program that manages hard disks. You need to do a partition wipe. On some USB sticks, you can clean it with InstallAROS.

ITALIANO:

Farox nessun software può scrivere una ISO AROS su Pendrive, una volta aveva provato l'autore di "Rufus" (da piccolo usava Amiga 500) ma quando ha visto la composizione del sistema disse che non era in grado di poterlo fare.

La soluzione è come accennato da retrofaza, in partica avii la ISO da una VM, io utilizzo WMware, fatto questo installa la build di AROS sulla Pendrive, che alla fine diventerà una Pendrive Live bootable su PC.

Unica precazione, in alcuni casi è necessario pulire bene la pendrive dalle partizione ed eliminare qualsiasi bootloader che non sia AROS, la pendrive deve rimanere Grezza senza alcuna partizione.

Puoi ripulire la pendrive su PC con un programma che gestisce gli Hardisk, devi fare un Wipe Partizione, su alcune Pendrive riesci a pulire con InstallAROS.

Thanks @retrofaza @AMIGASYSTEM
I create a USB pendrive and tested this image.

Booting with Aros-Default works fine on my PC where i use ArosOne 64bit.
Generally system seems to work fine.
Audio works
Restart PC works fine.

I found a couple of programs that crashed on both, they are
NList-demo (Demos/zune/Nlist-demo)
and
SysExplorer (Tools/Sysexplorer)
I add the screenshots of crashlog
edit: added also shot of the ArosOne...because its seems different

For me SysExplorer works well, while NList-demo crashes VMware when run from ISO, NList-demo works well when run from Ram or Hardisk.

Since I haven't found any other regressions at the moment, I'll run a test by integrating this new build into a copy of AROS One 1.1 and see if everything works correctly!

With Multiview, when opening a ‘corrupted’ TIFF image, I noticed a problem when minimising the window: AROS restarts, both with VMware and with a native PC.

Of course, this does not happen if the TIFF image is not corrupted.
I was unable to test this on 32-bit or on the reference build because TIFF.datatypes does not exist.

I tried corrupting a JPG, PNG, etc. image, but no restart occurred. It is difficult to replicate that corrupted image downloaded from the Internet.

I am attaching a short video and the corrupted TIFF image!

@Farox, @AMIGASYSTEM thank you for testing. Here are my comments:

1) palette - bug report created [url]https://github.com/deadwood2/AROS/issues/210[/url]
2) bz2 - I did not work on this bug yet
3) tgz - I don't know this bug, can you make a video?
4) NList demos - this is a known issue
5) SysExplorer - this is somehow related to specific hardware you are having - I can't reproduce this. If you want, I can give you information how to build custom version of SysExplorer to find out which element is causing this issue.

Regarding tgz and tar.gz archives, with the new Build the problem seems to have disappeared. With the new Build integrated into AROS One, ZuneARC unpacks tgz and tar.gz archives without any problems!

I booted the ISO without any problems. I tested Sysexplorer and it works. I tested other system utilities and everything is fine.

There is a new Nightly build which I would like to ask you to re-test.

History:
- updated grub from 2.06 to 2.12

Areas to test:
- does it still boot on your hardware

Note: Please do not mix grub 2.12 with grub 2.06 in your existing installations, it will most likely fail.

Note: Official update containing these changes in planned for September.

I tried the new ISO and installed it on a USB stick. It boots without any problems on my computer. I couldn't test the network with OWB and other programmes, but all the software in TinyAros works. I need to look into it further

@Amiwell79 - thanks for tests

Thank you, I'll try it as soon as possible!

This new Build 20250826-032318 works well on both my PCs (I just need to add ‘noacpi’ in the Grub config) and on VMs.

I've noticed improved USB management (the icon now disappears immediately after unmounting) and I've also noticed increased speed!

Question: what does the new Grub v2.12 add/improve?

Hmm, there shouldn't be any changes to USB or speed in this build TBH.

New Grub does not add any features per se - it was updated as the 2.06 had problem building together with some other recent changes.
