reduceOS release 1.0-dev

ALPHA RELEASE - NOT FOR PRODUCTION

This is the first actual release of reduceOS Rewrite! It features many new things, including a fully made by me kernel, boot loader, and more. The features aren't that great, but the anniversary of reduceOS is coming up, so keep tuned! Release notes are below.
You can run the OS by putting the attached image file either in a VM or writing it to a USB drive (usually via either dd or some Windows tool).

What's Changed

Main features include:

  • A nice graphical redesign
  • Well-commented code (mostly!).
  • A command parser (in progress, can't handle backspaces or arguments yet)
  • Physical memory management
  • Kernel panicking gracefully
  • Some security features, like a stack-smashing protector on some things.
  • ISR handling
  • Improved keyboard drivers
  • And more!

Full Changelog: v0.3-alpha...v1.0-dev

Thank you to everyone in the community for supporting my dream of building an OS! I can't believe how far I've come since I had this dream. I understand a ton of concepts that I didn't before!
The next release of reduceOS will have some special features, and it will likely be on the anniversary of reduceOS :)

Attached below is the image file used to launch reduceOS.
