CHANGES since 0.99 patchlevel 15: - removed all the bugs, of course. - networking fixes. - more changes than I really wanted.. [original announcement below] Linux 1.0---A better UNIX than Windows NT Summary: Linux 1.0 released Keywords: Linux Kernel 1.0 Academy Awards X-Moderator-Added-Keywords: universe, end of Finally, here it is. Almost on time (being just two years late is peanuts in the OS industry), and better than ever: Linux kernel release 1.0 This release has no new major features compared to the pl15 kernels, but contains lots and lots of bugfixes: all the major ones are gone, the smaller ones are hidden better. Hopefully there are no major new ones. The Linux kernel can be found as source on most of the Linux ftp-sites under the names linux-1.0.tar.gz (full source) linux-1.0.patch.pl15.gz (patch against linux-0.99pl15) linux-1.0.patch.alpha.gz (patch from linux-pre-1.0) it should be available at least at the sites ftp.funet.fi: pub/OS/Linux/PEOPLE/Linus (now) sunsite.unc.ed: pub/Linux/Incoming (now) pub/Linux/kernel (soon) tsx-11.mit.edu: pub/linux/sources/system (soon) ftp.cs.helsinki.fi: pub/Software/Linux/Kernel (now) This release finally moves Linux out of Beta status and is meant as a base for distributions to build on. It will neither change Linux' status as FreeWare under the GPL, nor will it mean the end of development on Linux. In fact many new features where held back for later releases so that 1.0 could become a well tested and hopefully stable release. The Linux kernel wouldn't be where it is today without the help of lots of people: the kernel developers, the people who did user-level programs making linux useful, and the brave and foolhardy people who risked their harddisks and sanity to test it all out. My thanks to you all. (Editorial note: if you think this sounds too much like the Academy Awards ceremony, just skip this: it's not getting any better.) Thanks to people like Aaron Kushner, Danny ter Haar and the authors of the AnwenderHandbuch (and others) who have helped me with hardware or monetary donations (and to the Oxford Beer Trolls and others who took care of the drinkware). And thanks to Dirk, who helped me write this announcement despite my lazyness ("hey, it's just another release, who needs an announcement anyway?"). To make a long and boring story a bit shorter and boring, here is at least a partial list of people who have been helping make Linux what it is today.

few unimportant floating point instructions (i287 instructions that are No-Ops on the i387, so "emulating" them is easy :^) and fixes a silly bug when mmap'ing stuff write-only. It also fixes a buggy lock in the networking.
