General release notes

  • First release of chaos in more than 10 years. 🎉
  • Brings much of the existing code base into shape, making it work with recent versions of e.g. gcc. Custom build tool (autochaos) has been mostly superseded with a set of Rake-based files instead (#3).
  • Floppy image has been superseded with an .iso image, which should give us loads more space for servers and programs. As a consequence of this, the release is distributed both as source code and an easily usable .iso file which can be used with any VM software (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMware, etc.). In other words: you do not need to compile chaos yourself to be able to test it, which is kind of cool.
  • Some servers (like the pci and ipv4 servers) are still not updated to the new Rake-based build. They are not included in compiled form in this release. We hope to provide an updated 0.0.3 release within the reasonably near future, where more servers are included.
