| | 8 | |
| | 9 | This release brings a small change in the version numbering scheme. Since there are two releases per year, the first one will be 0.<''YEAR''-2010>.1 and the second one will be 0.<''YEAR''-2010>.2. Note that the agile bi-annual release cycle might produce releases that are slightly less "polished" in certain aspects, but it is also a driving force towards turning HelenOS into a production-ready operating system in the near future. |
