It has been a long time since the news has been updated, but that doesn't mean that development on A2osX has ceased in the last 4 years! We've actually had quite a number of releases over this time. In general, stability has been greatly improved but there have also been additions like BASIC.FX which is a ProDOS BASIC.SYSTEM environment which supports a number of ProDOS FX extensions (RamWorks III and extension commands for starters).

Finally, we are always looking for people to help! A project as complicated at A2osX requires a lot of testing, but we always need help with creating new applications, libraries, and documentation. If you have some applicable skills, let us know!

A2osX Version 0.93 Release Candidate has been finalized. Media for this release, based on Build 193x are now available. Future STABLE and BLEED builds will be based on work to complete 0.94. 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.

Media have been updated based on Build 1694. This version fixes issues with Piping of commands, adds new READ functionality. Please note, KM.NSC is no longer loaded by default on any media. If you have a No Slot Clock in your system, you should move the file KM.NSC from ./SYS/KM into ./SYS which will make it load on boot.

Major updates have occurred to the kernel and many of the A2osX API's to support a greatly enhanced shell that boasts significant new scripting capabilities since 0.92. Also added is the the ability to redirect input and output, including errors, and the ability to pipe (|) the output of one command or operation to another (i.e. **ls \* | more** ). A2osX now provides for multiple virtual terminals as well as users/terminals via TCP (through TELNETD) and serial devices (through a SSC driver).
As great as the changes to A2osX itself, we are also please to report that great strides have been made in terms of documentation. While much of it is in draft form, there is a new **[Users Guide](User%20Guide.md)**, **[Developers Guide](Developers%20Guide.md)**, **[Shell Developers Guide](Shell%20Developers%20Guide.md)**, **[Technical Spec](Technical%20Spec.md)** and **[Command Guide](Command%20Guide.md)**. See the **[Documentation](#documentation)** Section below for more details.
