Legend

- implementation of a new program, driver or library
- implementation of something within the GSoC
- download link

System-wide changes (kernel, drivers, libraries):

• new application downloader;
• NTFS : basic file system functions are supported;
• system function 70.5 - added ability to obtain information about partitions with the NTFS file system;
• exif.obj : tags added Samsung app2; optimization;
• C Layer : implemented wrappers for http.obj, proc_lib.obj, and partially for box_lib.obj;
• Libraries were updated: libunwind-gcc-4.8.5, libstdc ++ - v3-gcc-4.8.5, binutils-2.26;
• ported libjpeg.

Changes in application software:

• ssh - Diffie - Hellman protocol is implemented.
• Animage - updated and improved interface; use of the new menu component (kmenu.obj); multiple optimizations, improvements and bug fixes.

  IgorA main commits when working on Animage:
  rev 6328
  It was possible to connect the library libimg.obj, now the animage can open the files * .jpg and * .png.
  You can add other file formats that are in libimg. The menu from Veliant hasn’t added yet, because he writes that animage doesn’t work as it should with him.
  
  roar 6355
  Changed the algorithm for working with the undo command. Instead of copying buffers along the chain, I simply move the pointers. So it turns out faster and less code, because it is easier to change the pointer than to distill the entire buffer with the image.
  
  ev 6371
  added the Filters group to the menu with rotated images
  also added a selection of the current scale for ease of use.
  
  rev 6379
  Fixed the frame for the selection, which ceased to be erased after the roar. 6355. Made a new algorithm that draws a frame for the selection immediately in the screen area, and not in the image area.
  But it will still be necessary to refine the work with the commands Copy, Paste. Because they do not work as it should, namely:
  1) moving the selection frame is considered as a file editing event, which is not good.
  2) copying leads to the disappearance of the frame from the screen and to insert the image you need to draw the frame in the right place again
  3) maybe I still have something for sure I don’t know
  
  
  
  
  
• CPUID - code has been added to use the Extended Model value when determining the code name of Intel processors.
  
  Hidden text

  Within GSOC, potential students performed 3 test tasks on the topics “Using the extended model when determining the processor multiplier”, “Saving the log with the results of determining the processor characteristics”, “Visualizing the results of the performance test”, which should be integrated into the main program branch.
  
  
  
• avra - port of the latest version.
• Eolite - the ability to manually enter the path opened at the start of Eolite; status bar; fix bugs.
• Netsurf - GET / POST requests; support images JPEG, PNG, GIF.
  
  
  
  
  
• ftpc - error handling; ability to run with parameters.
• ktcc - port updated to version 0.9.26; fix bugs in libc (version for ktcc).
• FB2 Read - partial table support: tags table, tr, td, th, colspan attribute (but not rowspan); external links in the status bar; cp866 encoding; viewing unformatted texts (only before opening the file you need to select the encoding, you cannot change the encoding during the viewing of the file); list of supported file extensions in settings /rd/1/settings/fb2read.ini (for Open Dialog); saving the path of the last open file (for Open Dialog); fixed some bugs.
