Thanks to @jackpot51 et al. x86_64 is almost supported, despite the lack of a naked function attribute in Rust. See the recent PR to Rust and RFC discussions for more information.

@stratact have upgraded the file manager to include more info about files. This includes file size and number of entries in folder.

@ticki with the help of @stratact, and @tennix has started the development of Redox’s own advanced, Vi-like text editor, Sodium ( na for short). The recent enchancement of the basic text editor (named Editor ) were rolled back in favor of Sodium. These features will then gradually be added to Sodium.

@tedsta is working hard on completing the support for ZFS. Check out the ZFS application for trying it out!

The graphics module now support Bresenham line drawing natively.

@ticki has ported libnum . This will allow us to port liboctavo in the near future, meaning that we can move on with the development of Oxide .

@jackpot51 moved different crates out of kernel space and into user space. Futhermore the folder containing the kernel code is now called kernel instead of src .
