Hi Tom,
>>> 2). 2017-Jun-9: "#189 Beep function freezes on recently intel platform >>> (skylake/kabylake)" >>> * https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/189/ > Bart added this function as it seems to be missing from ia16_gcc Okay so it is only fixed when you cross-compile from Linux? > because nobody uses any FreeCOM binary younger then 2006 > for well known reasons. Please shed some light on the well known reasons. > although this has been fixed 'recently', still nobody uses or even > tests the new (beta?) binary. It also disappoints me that there have been ZERO replies on freedos-kernel and freedos-devel to my alert that the kernel development (if any?) happens without public discussions which has led to dosemu2 using a very distant fork which can be used as Linux library, mostly dropping backport efforts by now :-( Or in related news: dosemu2 now uses a special SHARE tuned for compatibility but no longer running on classic DOS kernels... Is kernel development officially dead? How about freecom? I still hope there are one or two developers tinkering away on their versions behind the scenes, but without discussion, how can we know? And who would even know what to test when?
