Re: New kernels
Hi All,
I released the alpha3 of kernel 7.2 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) today.
Download and further information: github.com
Several tests of HFS+ with the alpha3:

Please test it.
Thanks,
Christian

Re: New kernels
Amazing. I checked a few days ago and thought I had missed some action. But only found the final 7.1 I had downloaded to test.
Then an email notification popped up about the alpha 4 out. Alpha 4!?
It's like a noise waveform around here. There no action for a few days. Then suddenly a burst of alphas hits the streets!
