Changes include a slew of bug/speed fixes for ABrowse, optimization of the TCP/IP stack, a new system for handling POSIX packages, mouse-wheel support, a regular expression searching class and many more. Stop on by www.atheos.cx and check it out." Here's the changelog since 0.3.6 -- AtheOS remains astoundingly slick-looking for a (mostly) one-man project, if you missed our interview with Kurt Skauen, it's worth reading if AtheOS interests you.

    Good news, its' not in assembly. The kernel is written in C and the high-level APIs are in C++. AtheOS applications are programmed in C++.

    The compiler is GCC. The C & C++ libs are Glibc. Sadly, there is no debugger yet, as they are complicated little buggers to write, and no one has needed one that badly yet.
