A new release of the MenuetOS operating system version 1.63.0 has been announced, with its kernel completely developed in assembly language. MenuetOS builds are prepared for 64-bit x86 systems and can run under QEMU. The system occupies 1.4 MB and is available as both a floppy disk image and an ISO image for burning to CD (bootable in VirtualBox). The source code for the Menuet64 project is distributed under a restrictive license that requires agreement for any commercial use, while Menuet32 is under the GPL license.<\/p>\n

The system supports preemptive multitasking, booting on UEFI systems, and SMP on multicore systems. The project is also developing its own X server and provides a built-in graphical user interface with support for themes, Drag&Drop operations, UTF-8 encoding, and keyboard layout switching. A custom integrated development environment is offered for developing applications in assembly language. <\/p>\n

The operating system includes a network stack, drivers for Ethernet and USB 2.0, and audio codecs AC97 and Intel HDA (ALC662\/888). The project is developing a simple web browser HTTPC, email and FTP clients, a VNC client, FTP and HTTP servers, applications for viewing images, editing text, managing files, watching videos, and playing music. For file navigation, a file manager called NDN (Necromancer's Dos Navigator) is suggested, which has been ported for MenuetOS. <\/p>\n

A DOS emulator is available, allowing the launch of games such as Quake and Doom. Compatibility with Linux is provided through a basic POSIX layer that allows the creation of GUI applications that can run in both Menuet and Linux\/X11, as well as a custom X server written in assembly language that can redirect output from applications running on an external Linux system to display their interface in MenuetOS.<\/p>\n
