# A2osX Media Guide
### Updated February 11, 2020
### Updated February 13, 2020
We have changed the media set for A2osX. New A2osX Users should download the most current version as shown in the table below. **A new Release Candidate (RC) edition has been made available (highlighted below), you should choose one of the media options from this set.** The Bleed media are the primary images used by the developers to hold the most current version of the A2osX binaries (and a copy of the source, although of course GitHub is the primary source repository) and may be unstable. You should not use this media unless directed by the A2osX development team.

## Editions
| Edition | Description | Build No | Date |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RELEASE | This is a locked down set of media that will change infrequently, only upon a major update. | | * |
| **RC** | **This is a RELEASE candidate, if available, for the next coming major release. There should be very few RC releases before one of them becomes the actual RELEASE media. RC releases should be relatively bug free and feature complete (to the scope planned for that release).** | **1942** | **Feb-11-2020** |
| STABLE | Stable releases are significant updates over the last RELEASE but may not included in their own scope. STABLE releases will be made from BLEED builds that have no significant bugs, but may have documented issues that have not yet been resolved, especially in new features. This will likely become RC shortly. | 1942 | Feb-11-2020 |

| BLEED| The media in this edition are very cutting edge, changing almost daily, particularly A2OSX.BUILD.po. This edition is targeted at core developers who are creating and maintaining A2osX. For most users, it is recommended that you use one of the other editions. | | * |

## News
A2osX Version 0.93 Release Candidate has been finalized. Media for this release, based on Build 1942 are now available. Both RC and STABLE media are built on this build, however, future STABLE and BLEED builds will be based on work to complete 0.94, so please use the RC media unless you are working on developing for 0.94. As for 0.94, the next major edition, work has already started to make the A2osX API fully C compliant. This will allow a new CSH shell and CC compiler to be added to A2osX as well as an enhanced web server (*httpd*) that can serve active server pages formed by user created CSH scripts. In addition, Double High Graphics Resolution (DHGR) and Mouse drivers are being finalized which will allow developers to create games and new user interfaces for their A2osX applications.

We have created a new forum for discussing A2osX, features, examples, use cases, etc. It can be found on **[Google Groups](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/a2osx)**.
>Note, there is one open (and will not be fixed) issue for 0.93 that affects the *mv* and *cp* commands in a specific use case. This is documented on GitHub as **[Issue #53](https://github.com/A2osX/A2osX/issues/53)**. Briefly, if you use *mc* or *cp* recursively and use as the destination a non-existent directory, the command will fail to perform the operation in the expected manner. For this use case, use the *md* (make directory) command to first make the target destination directory before issuing the *mv* or *cp* command. A previous note posted here regarding **[Issue #148](https://github.com/A2osX/A2osX/issues/148)** (about an issue with *useradd* has been resolved.
