## News...
**2019-10-18** - Updated A2osX Release Candidate based on Build No 1650 is now available and can be found in our **[Media directory](.Floppies)**. In addition, a new disk image **TDBOOT** has been created that is preconfigured to automatically load Uthernet2 driver, start network services and launch the TelnetD server process (hence name TD for TelnetD Boot).
**2019-10-15** - The first A2osX Release Candidate is now available and can be found in our **[Media directory](.Floppies)**.
2019-04-19 - 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).
