Ghost 0.4.1 - public source code release

I am proud to announce the public source release of my project, Ghost.
A lot has happened since I released the demo version, lots of things under the hood and some major refactoring work. Added support for signals, currently adding variable-messages size support and then will continue rewriting my window server.
Find the sources on:

To get a glance about what system calls Ghost provides to the userspace, you can take a look at the
kernel API functions.
I'd love to hear some feedback from you guys! Feel free to ask me anything.
Greets,
maxdev

Do you have some prebuilt images for the current version? It looks like the source version require a bit more than a simple make.

Wow, thank you! Great to see interest, wish you the best for your project too.

Not on my hand because I didn't focus much on having a user-friendly interface (the terminal is quite rudimentary), but rather focused on improving kernel & adding functionality. I'm about to rewrite the window manager (got some minor fixes to do beforehand), which will involve reworking the command line processor too. I'll prepare something for you guys to try out soon though

What are your goals for the version 1.0? Will we ever see networking?

The long-term roadmap contains ext2 support, porting GCC, PCI support, then adding networking. The first milestone is: boot it, open a file in a text editor, save file, reboot, file is still there.

Cool, a microkernel. Keep up the good work. I will follow with interest.
