CraftOS-PC v2.3 is finally ready for release. This version comes chock-full of new features to try out, as well as some much-needed improvements to CraftOS-PC.

  • Massively improved performance of emulation
    • Speed issues are caused by the debugger's hooks (specifically line hooks)
    • This version only enables the required hooks depending on what features are required
    • In general, more debugging features -> lower performance
    • Depending on the machine, expect between 4-20x faster emulation
  • Added official support for WASM, including an online client (CraftOS-PC Online)
    • CraftOS-PC Online is available at https://www.craftos-pc.cc/online/
    • Supports Chrome/Chrome-based browsers, and new versions of Firefox with the following options enabled in about:config:
      • javascript.options.shared_memory
      • dom.postMessage.sharedArrayBuffer.withCOOP_COEP
      • browser.tabs.remote.useCrossOriginEmbedderPolicy
      • browser.tabs.remote.useCrossOriginOpenerPolicy
  • Added speaker peripheral
  • Updated CC:T compatibility to 1.87.1
    • Added fs.getAttributes and fs.getCapacity functions
    • Added optional timeout argument to websocket.receive
    • Ported pretty printer to lua.lua
    • Added __len metamethod for tables
    • Strings now accept \xNN, \u{NNN}, and \z escape codes
    • Added utf8 library
    • Added base argument to math.log
    • Moved table.pack and table.unpack out of the ROM and into C
    • Added textutils.unserializeJSON
    • Rewrote settings API
    • Enabled MOTD by default
    • http.post now accepts a table as an argument as expected
  • Added raw terminal renderer
  • Added TRoR (Terminal Redirect over Rednet) terminal renderer
  • Added the ability to place modems on multiple separate networks
    • This can be done by adding a third argument when attaching the peripheral, specifying the network ID
    • Modems with different network IDs won't be able to communicate with each other
  • Added prompt when mounting a real directory, for security
    • This is to mitigate the possibility that a malicious script deletes arbitrary files
    • A prompt also appears when changing the mount_mode option
    • To disable this (not recommended), set showMountPrompt to false in global.json
      • This option cannot be changed inside CraftOS-PC
  • Added filesystem merge mount support
  • Added standalone executable option for Windows & Linux
  • Added scrollback to debugger console
  • Added pop-up when a computer is hung and ignores terminate events
  • Revamped gist program with new commands
    • Added edit, delete, and info commands
    • Gist logins now use Personal Access Tokens instead of a private server with OAuth2
  • Improved command-line usage
  • Cursor color can now be changed as expected
  • Fixed 256-color graphics mode on monitors
  • Fixed crash when receiving tables over a modem connection
  • Fixed a crash relating to timers
  • Fixed memory leak when taking a screenshot on Mac
  • Fixed missing Content-Type and Content-Length headers in HTTP requests
  • Fixed mouse event location in graphics mode when using an HD font
  • Fixed a crash when an error occurs while creating a peripheral
  • Fixed missing error messages when an HTTP connection fails
  • Accessing the string metatable is no longer blocked
  • Removed path argument to term.screenshot()
  • Added a rate limit to term.screenshot()
  • Windows: Standalone builds are now available to download next to the installer
  • Windows: A console build of CraftOS-PC is included with the installer to support raw/TRoR/headless output
  • Mac: CraftOS-PC is now fully notarized and will no longer require right-clicking to open
  • Linux: Dropped support for Ubuntu 19.04

The builds have been re-released to fix an issue in the ROM.
