DOS ain't dead

You've probably noticed Carbon OS hasn't been in active development for a while. In fact, it's been about six months since the last commit was pushed. Simply put, I've been busy with other projects and haven't worked on Carbon much.

I just pushed a commit fixing compile issues under Windows, and I'm starting work on the 0.5.0 release right now. There might be a 0.4.1 release first, but I'm not sure yet.

I originally wanted 0.5.0 to be the first beta release, and be the first version to include a desktop environment. But it's been difficult to implement one, so 0.5.0 might be smaller than intended. One feature I really want to work on is the ability to 'upgrade' from an existing DOS installation to Carbon, because right now it just wipes whatever partition is selected before installation.

There's other features I want to try and implement, but I need to look into them before getting anyone's hopes up :P
