Hello,

Here we go with next iteration. You know the drill ;)

Reference ISO: https://www.axrt.org/download/aros/v0/AROS-20211128-1-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

First ISO moves us to 20211214 code base. There is only one notable change here, new C library. It's a big change though and essentially requires retesting all software to find out regressions.

Here is D01 ISO: https://axrt.org/development/AROS-20211214-D01-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

The ISO contains core, contrib and Odyssey re-compiled to use the new C library. Big thanks to terminills for sharing his build machine which speeds up Odyssey build 2.5x times.

If you are integrating this ISO into your distribution and installation (so if you have "old" files), you need to delete some of them. I attach a script that shows which files to delete. Without deleting these files, the test results will be invalid. Note that deleting these files will make old Odyssey to stop loading. Best to keep two installations - reference and new system.

The most visible problems you can encounter after integrating is that some software will stop loading because stdc.library, stdcio.library or posixc.library is missing. Note that only software coming from AROS ISO should be using these libraries. The solution it to update the software with the version on the D01 ISO. If it happens that 3rd party (download from archives) software is reporting need for those libraries, be sure to let me know which.

Have fun :)

There were no functional changes in contrib, but all the software has been recompiled to use new C library. If you don't update the software, you will start getting errors about missing stdc.library etc.

deadwood I have integrated 20211214-D01 on the new AROS One 2.4, at the moment everything is fine, I had to delete some Zune Libraries (.mcc/.mui) not included in your Build.

Noticed a problem on OWB (even with the default config), basically every time I start OWB in the folder where the Binary resides "empty" folders with strange names are created, see screenshot ! if I delete them on the next start a new folder is created, if I restart again a second strange folder is created !

EDIT
Question: Inside the Extras folder there is a folder called 'GNU', should this folder remain in Extras, or can I integrate everything in Development?ù

EDIT

There are duplicate catalogues 'catalonian' and 'catalan' (Spanish autonomous community)

EDIT
I noticed that there are Scalos configurations in the ISO, has it been updated?

on the reference iso I tried the software in my distribution and it works I have not tried odyssey yet, I get output from applications written in freepascal amitube when I close it it gives me error dopus5 works

@AMIGASYSTEM

I also saw those weird empty directories. Something to investigate. There was no change to Scalos between last release (20211128-1 and this build). For GNU you can place it where you like, but it will always be in contrib in current location so you will have to manually synchronize it with each new build if you move it to other location.

@Amiwell79

You wrote that "on the reference" ISO.... Which ISO do you mean? The reference ISO is the current release.

OK thanks, it's not a problem to move, I do it with many other things, I just had some doubts in case the path was important.

The other day I had a strange thing happen to me, due to moving some files around, look at the attached video, it took me a few hours to realise the strangeness, in practice the problem only occurs the first time About AROS is run, after which it always works fine Smile

Has anyone been able to test new OWB binary? I can't seem to get youtube to work. All I get is page with placeholders of videos when navigating to main page. When trying a specific video, it loads for some time but never plays (and freezes OW

I also have the same problem as you.

If you search for the video from Google and click on the image, the video gui opens and after a while you get the error you see in the screenshot, if you then go to the address bar and hit enter again, if it doesn't work you repeat it, this time the error doesn't appear. The video cannot be seen, but if you go with the cursor to the end of the video you will see the preview of the video image.

AmiTube is happy to download videos from YouTube!

@deadwood

Some problems encountered with 20211214-D01

- FryingPan -> Does not work as it did in previous Builds
- DTConvert (Contrib Extras/Misc/Aminet) -> never worked (Does not convert anything)
- PlayMF (Extras/Misc/aminet7CAMD) -> never worked (Guru)

- OWB -> Uses 'CarbonPhyber' font by default and cannot be changed, does not work Preferences/Font, only works for size, cannot replace a font

- DiskImageGUI -> In Devs/DiskImage the Descriptors are missing:
- CUE
- DAA
- DMG
- FDI
- GI
- VDI

If the Descriptor "CUE" is present in Devs/DiskImage if you send the command "Mount ICD0:" or run the DOSDrivers ICD0, you get a GURU.

About 'DiskImageGUI' to create the Guru is 'Diskimage.device'.

DiskImageGUI on Aros-Archive on the other hand works very well even if you use "CUE", it mounts CDs with the extension .cue without any problems

I don't know if installation to USB should be possible from anything else than Live-CD.

What goes wrong in your case?

Hmm, seems my post disappeared. To recap:

For descriptors in DiskImage you can't use previous descriptors as they often rely on stdc.library. If you use them with new build then most likely there will be a silent fail which will lead to guru.

I did numerous tests with all the old Descriptors and never had any GURU.

As said in the new Descriptors the important "CUE" is missing otherwise it is not possible to check in the ISO if there are Audio tracks !

With the Old Descriptors the "CUE" images are loaded correctly without any Guru.

On AROS One I am using "DiskImageGUI" from the new Build D01, I just replaced 'Diskimage.device'. which generated the GURU !

In practice, in order for 'DiskImageGUI' to work properly, the Descriptors must be in Devs/DOSDriver, so that all mounted devices appear in the GUI of 'DiskImageGUI'. With the old 'Diskimage.device' in system startup I never encountered Guru !
