News from the front line
Joachim:
Since early 2015 I am working fulltime on eComStation for XEU.com. Since that time we have been doing a lot of stuff in the background, for example updating the chinese build of eComStation (largely based on the excellent work of Alex Taylor of course) and for some weeks I've now been cleaning up the bugtracker. Some bugs recently set to resolved include:
3077: Patched TPCIP32.DLL needs to installed to prevent crashes in Mozilla apps on SMP systems.
3511: New ACPI and VMware
3409: USB keyboard and mouse not working
These have been fixed mainly by integrating newer level of drivers in eComStation, which has been done earlier, but it's still worth mentioning there is progress. In the coming weeks we will continue to clean up the bugtracker and work towards the release of eComStation 2.2.
Best regards,
Joachim Benjamins

Hi Joachim
Good to hear there is progress with eCS2.2 - I , amongst others, look forward to the release.
Regards
Pete

Please open the bug tracker for users without an eComStation license to watch the progress (so that one can see what he/she will pay for: support) and fill bug reports (you ain't no gonna reject free bug reports, are you? Any software company has got testers, which don't work for free).
I cannot think of any reasons not to do that.
dbanet:
Do you guys cooperate with Arca Noae? They make quite some good progress and have people working on hardware drivers employed.
Does XEU have anything to do with Mensys?
What is the general plan for OS/2? Are you gonna keep the same thing: packing a distro with updates from community and rarely updating hardware drivers? Or something worthful?
Don't really hope for answers. Companies dealing with OS/2 behave so strange with the community.
(neither can't see how's that "front line", assuming so little progress. The front line is at another place)

Joachim said In the coming weeks we will continue to clean up the bugtracker and work towards the release of eComStation 2.2.
Is this like it was in 2013, then 2014 and now more than half way through 2015?
Somehow I don't believe it will happen. I would like to be proved wrong but past experience shows otherwise.
The items mentioned by Joachim are rather minor and have been addressed already by other people. If they are the types of things on the bugtracker I can see why they will never open that to general view - it appears to be rather pathetic.
Now, if they were working on updated drivers to work with new hardware and updated SNAP Graphics, again to allow use with new graphic cards then it would indeed be news. As it stands this 'announcement' is rather meaningless.
