New on AROS One, from next version from GRUB menu AROS One users will be able to start via "Early Startup" "uCommander", a small emergency menu for small maintenance (see screenshot), from here it will be possible to start a Shell, Dopus4, Text Editor and more.
On uCommander, if necessary, I may add more applications in future versions of AROS One! |

AROS News:
WipEout Rewrite is a re-implementation of the 1995 PSX game wipEout done by phoboslab. https://www.arosworld.org/infusions/...5093#post_5093 I would say outstanding, even on small Netbooks Acer Aspire One ZG5 and Dell Inspiron Mini 910 with supported Video Cards (Intel GMA 945SE and IntelGMA 945GSE) it runs limpito and very fast. WipEout although slow runs even on PCs without supported Video Card (VESA Mode) ditto on Virtual Machines. |

Due to some requests from users and developers I have created a Lite Version of AROS One, this version anticipates the release of AROS One v2.5, which if there will be no news also from Rufus, soon will be distributed the Complete version both in ISO and USB Image format.
This ISO Lite is complete with everything, it includes the new Core with the latest updates and fixes, to make it smaller 419 MB Zipped, 836 MB uncompressed, I removed Development and many third-party software from the Extras folder. Among the important new features of AROS One 2.5, you'll find the possibility to delete highlighted files and folders with the CANC key, added on GRUB "EarlyStartup" where from the prompt you can just type "uCommander" where from its menu you can directly access Dopus4 or a Text Editor, needed for maintenance when for some reason AROS doesn't boot. Those who download AROS One Lite and encounter problems or anomalies can report them here AROS One Lite v2.5: Download |

Added the Catalog of Spain, France, Turkey and the Czech Republic to OWS.
Waiting for the program "WitchCleaner" from Juan, given the many files produced by OWB in the Cache, I created a small script that allows you to delete all the files in the Cache folder with one click, see screenshot ! Changed the GRUB screen resolution, now set to 640 x 480, also improved the uCommander support performed by "Early Startup". Also seen some user requests, added ClickToFront in WBstartup, handy for moving between folders with one click. Created a new theme, a variant of the "AROSOne-Heavenly" theme, the one you see in the screenshot If there are no software changes, AROS One v2.5 Full version will probably be released next week, which will include all third-party software and Development! |

For SMB2 mounting, the final solution was found for the automatic mounting of the Network Shared Folder or Unity.
In practice there were two drawbacks, the first one was if SMB2 and its Icon were copied to WBStartup or via User-startup execution, in which case the SMB2 DOSDrivers were mounted too early before the system was connected, consequently the mount failed and the DOSDrivers had to be renamed to be mounted. The other drawback was if SMB2 and its Icon were copied to Devs/DOSDrivers, in this case the Mounting was done automatically without errors, but the connection was not Active, no Icon on the Workbench, to activate the connection and have the icon appear on the Workbench you had to first type SMB2: somewhere (Shell or Dopus4). The first solution I found was to copy SMB2 and its Icon to Storage/DOSDriver and then click on the SMB2 Icon on the Workbench or AmiStart. The solution found now allows automatic mounting, which was successfully tested on native AROS installed on a PC and on WMvare. In practice, SMB2 and its Icon must be copied to Devs/DOSDrivers, while a small script must be created and copied to WBStartup, where the SMB2 command must be inside it, preceded by a Wait with a minimum time value in order to delay the assembly and give the system time to connect to the network. Info and scripts will be available in the next AROS One, the described procedure can only be done after the user has created his personal SMB2 that includes his Network data.

I am not a developer but out of personal need, I created a MultiOS GUI for Qemu (Emulator and Virtualiser), all this was possible thanks to the automated scripts created with the freeware programme AutoIt v3.
Through the GUI it is possible to create Virtual HardDisks (HardFiles), install or boot the Operating Systems, AROS One, AMiGA OS4.1, MorpOS and MAC OS by simply clicking on the appropriate GUI Icon. I enclose a small Video showing the booting of the 4 mentioned OS, the systems are not very fast because I used an old DualCore PC with Win7 64Bit, to make the video shorter for some OS I eliminated the system startup waiting time.

Amiten TV: AROS One 2.5 Review !
Very good and very long video review made by "Amiten TV" on AROS One, I would say quite detailed where all the functions and qualities of AROS One are shown, some little imprecision on the Apps and some problem in closing the Shell of "Sashimi" the equivalent of the Old SnoopDos, which like him closes with the CTR-C. "Amiten TV" uses a fully supported PC, 3D Video Card, Sound Card, Network Card. [ Show youtube player ] Amiten TV himself had previously reviewed AROS One 2.5 Lite Preview: [ Show youtube player ] |

Updated the Opus 4 Directory config which, thanks to its versatility and the new Datatypes Descriptors created by me, can now display all popular formats such as: BMP, GIF, ILBM, JPG, PCX, PNG, PPM, SVG, TGA, TIFF, WEBP, XBM, XPM, images will be recognised automatically even if they are without extension.
The default viewer of Dopus4 is Multiview but you can also view images with other Tools available on the Tabs. The only format not supported by Dopus4 and Multiview at the moment is "TIFF" this is due to the lack of the "TIFF.Datatype" on AROS, datatypes that are in the works and will soon be available for AROS. Of course on AROS not all viewers need datatypes to display TIFFs, there are some viewers that have internal codecs that allow them to handle TIFF images. |

deadwood is working on the new Core based on the codebase "20221221", if this will happen soon probably instead of the Update 1 of AROS One v2.5 will be the new version 2.6 will be distributed, if this will not happen by the end of summer, then the update will be available for download.
AROS One has become the distribution of choice for many new AROS users due to its completeness and continuous updates, all advice or help to improve the distribution will be appreciated. |

Thanks to Farox, now available SFSobject on AROS X86, a small command for SFS (Filesystem) which permanently displays the hidden folder 'Recycled' with the last deleted files, in addition deleted files with the same name can also be recovered from the 'Recycled' folder
Created scripts to show or hide the recycled folder with one click, for those using 2 partitions (DH0 and DH1), if someone uses more than one partition they will simply have to change the volume name on the scripts In addition, I created a script for both partitions that allows you to delete all files in the .recycled folder with one click. |

I have been told that installing AROS One with every new release is annoying, so to make everyone happy, as soon as deadwood releases the new core I have decided to distribute both the new version of AROS One 2.6 and the update that will update Aros One v2.5 to the new version v2.6.
The update is already full-bodied with third-party software, new scripts, new configurations and new Icons. In addition to the installer that will update the System, there will also be a Script that will allow you to delete files that are no longer needed or those that have been moved to other locations |
