The +GNU operating system, like the Unix operating system, consists of many +components, including kernel, libraries, compilers, assembler, shell, +parser generators, utilities, window system, editors, text formatters, +and so on. The GNU project set out a decade ago to develop this +system, and we've been writing various components of it ever since.) + +This release contains many bug fixes from version 0.0. Many thanks to +all the people who are helping find bugs! + +The best way you can help find bugs is to try and compile and use on +the Hurd as many programs as you can find and find out where bugs +still exist. There are also unimplemented features, and your reports +will help us to prioritize which things we work on. + +Brief description of important news: + + This release contains several new utilities: + * e2os + which modifies the "creator OS" field of an ext2fs filesystem + * nfsd + which implements an NFS server. It's still relatively untested, + so people are invited to use it for non-critical things and + report on successes and failures. + * vminfo + prints the virtual memory map of a process + + This release contains one new shared library, `hurdbugaddr' which is + only used internally to various Hurd servers and utilities. + + Problems in version 0.1 that prevented ext2fs from working correctly + have all been fixed, and the source files that were accidentally + missing from 0.0 have been added. + +For more detailed news, see the NEWS file in the distribution. + +There is no binary release corresponding to this source release. A +new binary release will probably be made together with the next source +release. + +This release contains complete source code for the following: + +Hurd servers: + + auth, crash, devio, devport, exec, ext2fs, fifo, fwd, ifsock, init, + magic, new-fifo, nfs, null, pfinet, pflocal, proc, symlink, term, + ufs. + +Hurd libraries: + + diskfs, fshelp, ihash, iohelp, netfs, pager, pipe, ports, ps, + shouldbeinlibc, store, threads, trivfs, hurdbugaddr. + +Hurd utilities and other programs: + + boot, shd, ps, settrans, showtrans, sync, su, mount, fsysopts, + storeinfo, login, w, uptime, hurdids, loginpr, sush, vmstat, + portinfo, devprobe, reboot, halt, fsck, fsck.ufs, mkfs.ufs, clri.ufs, + stati.ufs, getty, rc, e2os, vminfo. + + +Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG |
