History / Syscalls

Revisions

  • Wiki: bring up to v6.4.361 (self-install, ring-3 windows, NVMe, real hardware) Largest ingest yet — 139 releases. Two invariants finally moved: syscalls 57 -> 61 (ring-3 window calls 57-60), builtins ~145 -> ~209. - Installation (new): NyxOS installs itself to an ATA/NVMe disk and boots standalone (BIOS + UEFI) via nyxinstall - partitioning, ext2/FAT32-ESP formatters, GRUB install, and the from-scratch NVMe driver. - Correctness fixes: syscall count 57->61 wiki-wide + the four window syscalls (Syscalls, Syscall Reference; HOWTO example renumbered 57->61); FPU/SSE is now saved across context switches (Process Management, #40); /dev/urandom from the CSPRNG + symlinks + chmod/read-only permissions (Filesystem); corrected "no filesystem permissions" and added v6.4 hardening rows (Security). - Drivers: NVMe + AC'97. GUI: ring-3 windows, Hemera/Erebus naming, software 3D renderer, notifications/clipboard, display rotation. Boot: UEFI/GOP + real-HW. Networking: TCP recv-window flow control (#80), netstat/route/arp/httpd. Cryptography: hmac/totp/uuid/encrypt/decrypt. Command Reference: ~209 builtins, grouped v6.4 command block, shell history/$VAR/$((expr))/aliases. - N-Language: v0.22, N++ P5 (own types + #[drop]), nwin (a window drawn from N), the growing M5 toy compiler, 22-program suite. - Version History: 139 rows under a new era. Glossary: Hemera/Erebus/NVMe/nwin/ nyxinstall. Navigation, Obsidian graph group, and markers bumped to v6.4.361. Lint: 43 pages, 0 broken links / anchors / orphans.
