I don't want your API, I was just thinking it would be easier to get absolute values about versions, my internal OS names are spastic.
SysInfo uses O.getVersionNumber(), unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean

You know... as much as I dislike the Shell, this is quite nice. Like the simplicity and speed of it.

Thanks!

Also a quick PSA to any devs there are no longer closed beta programs rather there are three streams now.
  • standard
  • beta
  • alpha
O2.2 is getting close to the end of it's beta stage! :)
If you have any questions comments or concerns let me know!

Awesome!
You might want to remove the closed beta references in the alpha and beta changelogs
Also, the paste for the Alpha package and the closed beta package are the same. Coincidence? I think not! Okay, you just renamed _closedBeta to alpha

Patched, removed references of it in changelogs(they were there because I forgot), and yeah it's renamed so that everyone can try it.

Sweet! O2.2 Beta 5 has been pushed out to the alpha and beta stream today, this mostly geared towards aesthetics but is polishing up O before release.
Here is the changelog:
  • The boot screen now has a recovery option, press either LShitft or RShift to activate, this also activates automatically why O detects missing files.
Spoiler
  • Removed the black screen at boot.
  • New Installer now is implemented into recovery mode.
Bug fixes:
  • Having no label on your computer caused the about section in settings to crash.

If the user has no internet connection the "stream" program will crash

Thanks for the bug report, it's kind of a small bug so I'll look into making sure it's not there in 2.2. I'm not at my computer right now but could you make sure it's not in the latest beta on the alpha stream. Thanks! :)

Well, you could just take the stream program, detect if the user can't access your pastebin network, and then put a warning up and ask for a keypress to exit to the shell

On a side note, from the title, isn't it "experience", not "expirience"?

Yeah, O2.2 includes the message if it's connection is offline, but it will look a bit better before final release. The typo has been fixed for the thread.

Sorry about the bad documentation, the stream program has been integrated into the new "settings" program. I will need to make a specific note about the when 2.2 goes live.

Yeah, I'm going to improve the message. Though 2.2 should be just about done with beta and then should go stable.

O2.2 Beta 9 is posted including the following changes:
  • A new file system lock, which can be disabled in the near future.
  • Various aesthtic changes around the OS.
Small update, but O2.2 final is getting really close, thanks for supporting O! :)

O2.2 Beta 9 is available on the alpha stream and I assume will be pushed to the beta stream soon. Given that this is a really large update I figured I would give my feedback.

Filesystem Lock ---
Since not a lot of detail was given, I will try to explain. What the filesystem lock does is lock all of O's system files. Pretty simple.

My opinion so far on this is that it is pretty stable. Updating seems to work (although I cannot downgrade to Beta 8 for some reason) though I cannot test it, it should work in theory (if not, well it's an alpha). I think that it might be rather unnecessary but it is a very nice touch. However, despite being stable, it is not fully implemented yet. fs.isReadOnly() will not return true for system files which will cause issues. As well, I feel like the update system could be made to feel more seamless, like iOS. But that is just my 2c.

Aesthetic Changes ---
Personally I noticed no differences between Beta 8 and beta 9 with aesthetics. It seems all the same to me. That being said, the rendering system is still toss and needs some major optimizations. The cursor still tends to flicker and stuff, and these kinds of things are detracting from the whole experience.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the feedback.

The update system has been fixed as of O2.2 Beta 10, hold shift during bootup and press enter, that will update you from recovery.

Could you elaborate a bit more on how to make updates more seamless?

Rendering issues still need to be fixed, though I would not say that it "detracts" from the experience.

O2.2 Beta 10 is good.

Except, ya know, you can't delete anything. And I mean anything.

But other than that tiny little issue it's awesome :)


Edit: It appears as though Beta 10 was pulled as alpha is back on beta 8. So I guess file protection won't be implemented, fine by me :P
