Hi all DOS fans, and happy new year! Some of you may have been wondering why there were no dosemu2 releases for quite some time. Let me assure you that the project is not dead. Its just that I decided to keep the entire alpha stage in git, w/o any releases. People are usually very nervous about backward-incompatible changes, and we have lots of them (incompatible with both dosemu1 and pre-alphas of dosemu2), so the decision was to get things stabilized first, then release. Fortunately the last pre-alpha (pre8) works rather well so there is no rush to release unfinished code. I hope the first beta is coming soon. We did a great stabilization work recently, and for example fdpp (https://github.com/stsp/fdpp) is nearing the end of beta cycle and will probably soon be declared stable. It would be much easier to stabilize dosemu2 when fdpp is stable. You can help us getting there! :) Our comcom32 project: https://github.com/stsp/comcom32 has a very low entry level, compared to dosemu2 or fdpp. So even if you have the very basic C coding skills for DOS, you can help us improving comcom32. Of course if you are a coding guru, you are welcome to try your C skills on dosemu2, or C++ skills on fdpp. You'll certainly find many interesting things while studying the code of these projects. :) And also many bounties are awaining you in the bug tracker. Happy new year and happy hacking!
