Updated Wiki: Older Releases

joshbeitler — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:42:01 GMT

Older Releases

MS5 and earlier

This page is aimed to help answer your questions about older releases, our stance on them, and why we don't support them.

Why do you not support milestone releases anymore?
Simply put - they are old and use an outdated compiler/kernel. Why would we support old releases when you could be using the most up-to-date ones?

But I get errors when I try to use <insert devkit release here>
Instead of just complaining about it, why not post the error and get some help? We can more than likely help you get it fixed.

<devkit release here> does not support a GUI. Why would I use it?
You should know that OS development is not only about having a fancy GUI. Why would you even consider a GUI when you don't even have working threads or IPC? Besides, the MS4 VGA driver is not the best, and only supports low resolutions.

But I don't have anything better than Express
Cosmos works fine with Express - read Using Visual Studio Express

Why should I upgrade?
The latest releases have many, many more features, a better kernel, and a better compiler. We are more able to give you help if you use them.

Hopefully this was able to answer some of your questions, users of ye olde time releases.

How do you get this to work for Visual Studio 2010 Express? Specifically for VB.NET. I keep getting the following error: "A projects with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started directly. In order to debug this project, add an executable project to this solution which references the library projects. Set the executable project as the startup project." Never mind. Forgot the part to create a COSMOS project with the COSMOS library project. Me=noob

Updated Wiki: Devkit

joshbeitler — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 02:25:35 GMT

About the Devkit

You may be wondering, "What is this devkit I keep hearing about?!" Its OK, most of us do at the start. This page will help you on your way to understanding what it is and how to use it.

The "devkit" Is the Source Release
What a lot of people don't quite understand is that when we say "devkit", we simply mean "the latest source revision." Understanding this, its quite easy to see that there are no download links for a "devkit", its only referred to. You may download the latest source changeset by viewing the list here, and downloading the latest release. You may browse it here.

Why use the devkit?
The devkit will always be the most up-to-date version of the source, as such you will have the most up-to-par features of Cosmos. It is updated much more than normal releases.

Hacking the devkit?
YES. This is an open source project, and is licensed under the New BSD License - one of the most permissive OSI licenses. You can download the source and modify it to your needs, provided you include the license statement and keep it intact. Please note, though, that we'd prefer it if you pushed your revolutionary anti-Microsoft open source bomb code back to the project, to help foster our growth and world dominance. (eg: drivers, performance benefits, etc).
