v0.9.3 Windows

v0.9.3 "Windows"

Boot straight into the desktop, with the shell one Escape away; a
"set desktop.boot" setting (and an entry in the settings window) turns
it off. The launcher now has a search field, keyboard arrows, a
mouse-wheel scroll, an F1 hotkey and install-and-run, so any program in
the catalogue opens in one step whether or not it is installed yet.

Also in this release:

• The PS/2 mouse driver speaks IntelliMouse, which is what makes wheel
  scrolling possible and stops a scroll from being misread as pointer
  movement and flickering the launcher to the top.
• Updates can come from any medium: with no writable disk the source is
  remembered in RAM, and a kernel write that fails because there is no
  disk says so.
• A task waiting on another keeps its exit code from being reaped out
  from under it.
• The new cargo xtask serve subcommand hosts those updates.
• Built with the release script, which now survives Windows PowerShell
  5.1's habit of treating cargo's stderr lines as terminating errors.

Run it in a virtual machine with UEFI firmware and Secure Boot off. The
VHD or IMG give you a writable disk; the ISO is read-only, and programs
installed there live in RAM until reboot.
