What's new?

  • glaucus now runs on real hardware!
  • This is a stage 3 release (native compilation after cross compilation; previous releases were at stage 2 which meant they were cross-compiled only)!
  • limine is now the default boot loader and manager!
  • neatvi is now the default text editor!
  • reflex is now the default lex implementation!
  • faillog, last, lastb, lastlog and w are now all running securely under musl libc thanks to utmps!
  • DT_RELR support was enabled, and has resulted in further size reduction!
  • rad (glaucus package manager) has been improved with more functionality being fleshed out.
  • The bootstrap process has been further optimized resulting in a reduction in the number of packages being used.
