NewOS, MenuetOS

Spent some free time reading the NewOS VM code. Also played around tweaking the code, compiling to see how it would turn out. Looks OK so far.

Also spent some time reading MenuetOS code ( run32), figuring out the steps in getting the graphics mode up. Also looked at the other steps how sound, floppy, disk and mouse work.

Thought about the pros and cons of having to support both real and protective mode, thinking access to the BIOS might not be a bad idea. I suspect it would make the code fit in a 1.44MB floppy.

Latin [ 1 ]

It's been over five years now and I'm still struggling in Latin. WinLatin helped a lot, though it didn't allow me to become fluent yet. Guess I have to put more effort into it.

Guavac

Spent some time reading the parser code. Noticed the fine engineering that went into it. I admit the guavac team made a very good job coding it.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
