This release adds the following items to the previous version:��(99.9% modeled with objects)

- Improved support for ATA devices access

- Implementation of a model of files and directories

- Implementation of FAT32 filesystem��

- Support for reading sources from the hard disk

- Support for X86 paging setup and handling of page faults

- Implementation of a model of free and used memory

- Implementation of image snapshotting (based on the paging mechanism)

- Based on Pharo, but also supporting Squeak and Cuis

- Added some primitives for communicating between VM and image

- Support for Alien and FFI

- Added basic support for writing to serial via VM so that it's possiblo to out debug info to the outside world.

- Added pretty basic ATA benchmarks

- Added some scripts to automatize work done from the outside world

- Many code cleanups

Future directions are:��

- Support for Cog VM

- Investigate replacing SqueakNOS plugin with NativeBoost so that we do more on the image

- Offloading memory pages to disk

- More tests

- Benchmarks

For the brave ones, remember that you can always generate a SqueakNOS image by using the ConfigurationOfSqueakNOS (which is a bit outdated now), or by manually loading the packages from monticello. Also to generate a SqueakNOS VM download its code from GIT (hosted on��sourceforge.net).

Don't forget to visit��squeaknos.blogspot.com��for news and instructions. We hope to be able to write more soon.

Many thank's t all the people who made it possible to understand the code and to develop all this.
