RISC OS Select 1st Release Out

Posted by timothy on from the be-the-first-on-your-block dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "RISC OS Select, *the* OS for ARM powered computers has seen its first release. RISC OS started back in 1994, by Acorn computers, but when they went down, RISC OS Ltd purchased the rights, and released RISC OS 4 in 1999. In 2000 the Select program was started, and a rolling program of OS updates was initiated. Now, the first real release (after several pre-releases) is there: ROS Select 4.29 It features multi-user logon, DHCP, SVG graphics support, over 100 enhancements over the old ROS 4 more info at http://select.riscos.com and http://www.riscos.org."

    I used to develop for RISCOS...
    Oh come on - that's it? You liked the software? Where is the inside scope? Who was sleeping with who? Why did you leave - was it because of a huge flamewar over toolkits?

    But oh no - you left and you're still friends with people. You're a disgrace.
