As a reminder, Interim Test Builds pull from the nnstable branch of projects
when it exists.
Release builds only pull from the master branch of the projects.
Although the ERROR.LOG issues warning messages regarding which projects are
using their unstable branch, I want to provide a note for those who may not
have seen (or were unaware) of which projects are currently not pulled from
their master branch.
The current projects being pulled from an unstable branch that will be merged
into their master.
FDI The FreeDOS primary installer for CD and USB media.
FDI-x86 The FreeDOS Floppy Edition installer.
FDHELPER Miscellaneous batch files like HELP.BAT, CDROM.BAT, etc.
FDISK Hard disk partitioner.
HTMLHELP The HTML Help viewer.
MKEYB International keyboard support driver.
TREE Directory tree viewer.
FDNET.BAT FreeDOS network support package for Virtual Platforms.
RCAL Big number calculator.
Also, FreeCOM and Kernel are using Unstable branches on the Interim Build.
There have not been any commits to the unstable Kernel branch. So, it is the
same as the master branch which is the version provided with FreeDOS 1.3.
On the other hand, the unstable branch of FreeCOM contains a test version of
the command shell which is using the same version number as the previous shell.
It contains fixes for many bugs that were in the prior version. I would really
like to see a new official release which contains these fixes and others for
T2412.
Side note… One really nice thing about having a batch file based OS installer,
it relies heavily on the shell. The installer hammers relentlessly on numerous
features the shell provides.
