This operating system destroyed my bootloader that I spent ages on writing.

10/10.

Please add a check to the installer that checks if you already have a startup file instead of overwriting it... I spent ages writing that bootloader you know, and I've just lost all of the data.

I'm sorry that you lost your program, I would be frustrated too. Although when installing an OS it's common practice for it to utilize the startup file to make it easier to use, and its a commonplace with other OSs on the forums. I hope you enjoy O though.

~~Oh, I just figured out the problem. I set a table called 'settings', which conflicts with the settings API. Silly me.~~

I take it back. It still crashes on startup.

Incompatibility was caused due to the bottom bar using a global variable that your 'map' program was overwriting. This issue has been patched in O2.5.2. This update is on it's way to being deployed.

I don't think what you guys are describing is possible without rewriting ComputerCraft, or at least patching significant portions of the OS.

Uh, haha. I'll look into that.

I have been hard at work getting a big update out for O, but it always helps to have a fresh set of eyes on a program. That's why I'm wondering what you guys would like out of it.

So, what do you want to see in O3? Feel free to reply, or pop me a PM. Thanks a bunch for all of your support!

Things added or added into current dev builds:

Restructuring of file system (systemO + userO + bootO) to better suit O
Redesigned settings program, to look better
New crash screen and better variable handling

There were also several security changes I made.

This change completely disallows effective use of new settings api that was added in CC 1.77 and later. That means any program expecting said api to be fully operational will be unable to work correctly. Settings will never be saved and need to be reset on each session.
I would suggest making your own version of setting api that allows creation and modification of custom settings while ingoring attempts to change booting ones.

I fully plan to work with the new API and settings added in CC 1.77 for the next version of O. For the time being a patch needed to be put out to retain O's security standards.

#243500 O

Posted by ProjectB on 17 January 2016 - 10:22 PM in Operating Systems

O 2.5.1

This update received some important security updates (for latest version of CC)

Forced startup to run to ensure O boots securely.
Disabled disk/startup from possible malicious attacks
Protects .settings file from attackers

Bug fixes

Credits are now being rendered again

As always, if you run into any bugs, or have any suggestions be sure to reply or pop me a PM. If you you discover any security issues with O, please respectfully disclose them here.

I only do this for you, thanks for all your support on the OS that makes CC great!

I crashed O by running SystemO/launchpad from the O prompt.
Please fix it.

Your issue has been noted, thanks! Although this itself does not need a patch ASAP, it will be bundled into a small fix update for 2.5.

This security related change is not the direct result of a security issue. Call it more of an upgrade.

Posted by ProjectB on 27 December 2015 - 07:32 PM in Operating Systems

Ok, this is to address some of the feedback O has been receiving.

O will no longer wipe all files on the drive upon uninstall
Credits have been added to the settings program

Please be sure to comment if you have feature requests, or bugs that you would like to discuss!

#241535 O

Posted by ProjectB on 27 December 2015 - 01:42 AM in Operating Systems

Ok, I have O2.4.2 Build 3 out now for beta!

This update includes some important security patches.

PINs are now hashed SHA256 bit with salts (Why wasn't it already like this?)
When adding or modifying an existing PIN, O will now verify at boot that you set it, if you are unable to enter O will wipe the new PIN.

~~And a minor note to those uninstalling O, when O is removed it will now remove all files on your computer. In order to keep your files, you will need to back them up to a floppy, or store them online.~~

In order to test it out, head over to O's development website, and follow the instructions there.
O Development Center

Thanks for testing out this new version of O! Please note any feedback below!

Quick other note
O2.4.2 Build 4 is now out to better address how O manages your data when you remove it.

Translation: Don't update or you will lose control over your computer running O.

That's not true, with O you have complete control, from the choice of colors, to setting up a startup program. By holding back you could be potentially exposing your computer to bootloader viruses.
