Select5i2 released |
|
RISCOS Ltd. is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Select
5i2.
This latest Select release is powered by RISC OS 6.16 and is available
for download by all current subscribers, right now, from the Select
subscribers'
private area.
Select 5i2 does not have any new user facing features, rather we have
been concentrating on lower level support and in consolidating and
optimizing the existing feature set based in part upon feedback from users.
RISC OS 6.16 builds upon the numerous enhancements already made since the
introduction of RISC OS 6 in 2007. Once again much work has been done to
optimize code to produce even greater stability and significant speed
improvements in several critical areas.

What is RISC OS 6? |
|
RISC OS 6 is the latest, most up to date, version of RISC OS to be
developed by RISCOS Ltd. It is now based on a completely 26 bit / 32 bit
neutral source.
It is ONLY available for Risc PC, A7000 and Virtual Acorn
products under the RISC OS Select scheme. See the FAQ section for further details.
Since the launch of Select 3 / OS 4.39 (Adjust ROM) all the
development work has gone into the 32 bit conversion of the remainder of the
RISC OS Sources that had not previously been converted as part of the RISC
OS Select scheme. As might be expected this has been a mammoth undertaking
and we hope that the wait has been worthwhile.
Unlike RISC OS 4.39 "Adjust" ROMs, RISC OS 6 is only available as a softload
version. It is NOT available as a new set of ROMs.

subscribers, and anyone who renewed their subscription after 1st January
2006. Please note that RISC OS 6 is a softload version of RISC OS, so the existing version of
RISC OS in ROM on your computer will not be affected.
