Introduktion
AROS är ett resurssnålt, effektivt och flexibelt operativsystem, gjord för att hjälpa dig få ut det mesta av din dator. Det är ett oberoende, fritt och plattformsöverskridande projekt med målet att vara kompatibelt med AmigaOS på API-nivå (på samma sätt som Wine, men olikt UAE), men förbättrat på flertalet områden. Källkoden är tillgänglig under en "öppen-källkod"-licens vilket tillåter att vem som helst får göra förbättringar.
Distributioner
Detta är förkonfigurerade och vältestade versioner av AROS. De innehåller många användbara program som inte följer med från start och är de som är mest intressanta för vanliga användare. De kanske saknar den senaste versionen av AROS, men de är mycket stabilare och mer användarvänliga än nightly builds. Om du är en som är nyfiken på vad AROS har att erbjuda så rekommenderar vi att du använder distributioner för bästa möjliga upplevelse.

Nick Andrews did a lot of fixes across the source tree, including:
Datatypes
- Implemented a TIFF datatype, and updated the Heic/PNG/Jpeg/WebP code.
C Runtime
- Added various widechar/multibyte support functions and unit tests for them, and initial support for locale's. Added scripts and code to download the unicode specifications and generate necessary conversion tables for use by AROS.
- Fixed math functions to correctly check bounds, etc - fixes all developer math tests on x86_64.
- Fixed build of c++ support code, so it correctly works on x86_64.
gfx.hidd
- Added SSE/AVX optimized conversion routines.
Build system
- Fixed ARM builds (RasPI, linux-arm and linux-armhf targets).
- Updated GCC patches to GCC 15, and fixed the core/contrib & ports to build with it.
- Fixed x86_64 stack call alias macros for LLVM, so modules now correctly compile and link that use these functions.
- Exposed more LLVM/Clang related settings and options from configure, and fixed up LLVM build scripts (w.i.p - more widechar support needed to complete libc++ build). ~90% of AROS core now compiles with Clang.
Misc
- Fixed broken DOS-ReadArgs behaviour, to respect the ReadItem "bug" used on AmigaOS. Unit tests now pass successfully (+ additional test cases added)
- Added an early exception handler to help diagnose crashes in the bootstrapping code of AROS x86_64.
- Updated Nasm port.
- 64bit fixes in OpenURL prefs.
- Fixed bug in Scouts "timer" list handling, resolving crash due to null pointer access on x86_64.
- Add nightly script to parse the localization warnings/errors and upload them to the translators.aros.org site.
- Adjusted nightly scripts to use SSH key instead of passwords.
- Added script to clean up Unit tests older than 60 days.
