Clicker is ready for hacking!

by November the 17th, Clicker came up with a Development Kit that should allow all of you to download it, compile it and test it ...
Clicker is a multithreaded microkernel that already implements protected mode (a V86 module is under development), memory management (segmenting, on-demand allocated paging, multi-flavour kalloc function, light-fast allocation for constant-sized small blocks, etc.), threads synchronization, multiple address space, module loading/unloading with module dependencies tracking and a centralized database that collects all the "administrative" informations about the system ... (want to know the system version ? "%i.%i.%i",&(system::version),&(system::evolution),&(system::release)
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=122797
is waiting for you ... We need device drivers, etc. so if you need a good code base for your own operating system (just the boring stuff is made. GUI, filesystem, IPC etc. are still to come and will come as module. Even the scheduler can be replaced easily
, get it and try it ... it's a GPL component, but this does not imply your own code will fall in GPL if it has the form of a module.
i would be pleased if i could get feedback from testers or links to the modules you develop (or even better, sources
)... or maybe if you wish to join the Clicker Development team
oh, and, btw, ... i hope this didn't sound too much like an ad. that wasn't my purpose ... i just wish to help you skipping the problems i faced so that both go faster.
