airyxOS 0.3.0 (Tanuki) BETA Release
This is the first beta release of airyxOS! Many things are still missing and there are many rough edges, but it is mostly stable and illustrates the project direction. Highlights of release 0.3.0 are:
- Default application bundles: Firefox, Terminal, and Kate
- A new AppKit-based ObjectiveC installer (Install airyxOS.app)
- Java SDK 17.0.1+12
- Updated to FreeBSD 12.3RC base OS and kernel
- Improvements to AppKit including better support of color catalogs and color lists, more Mac-like default colors, support for pop-up menus, fixed scrollbar icons, improved font handling, system key bindings, improved NIB support, fixed glitches in window resizing and moving, and more.
- Updated many packages
There are still several major limitations that make it less than ideal.
- There is no Dock
- There is no GUI to easily configure WiFi devices
- Contention between Filer and Plasmashell can cause a black screen
- Lots of inconsistencies and incompatibilities
- Very few apps available
