MINIX 3.1.3
Ben Gras
intended as an interim release for developers and experienced users
who wish to see what the cutting edge of MINIX is. Once you are
running 3.1.3, it's easy to track the 'current' source and so
stay on the cutting edge.
There are caveats, new visible features, significant internal changes,
and many bugfixes. For full release notes, see
<http://www.minix3.org/download/releasenotes-3.1.3.html>
To download it, see
<http://www.minix3.org/download/>
For a full changelog, see

Enjoy!

Congradulations!~~~
I read comp.os.minix everyday on my mobile phone, I hope minix would
be a really "magic" OS~~~

To update, will it suffice to rebuild the new sources from /usr/src?

Yes, once you have installed 3.1.3 you can upgrade painlessly from source.
If you have 3.1.2a installed, it's a tricky and risky procedure to
upgrade to 3.1.3 from source, because of several binary
incompatibilities that have accumulated over time. (Although, yes, in
principle it is enough to rebuild the new sources from /usr/src.) There
is a doc/UPDATING file you can follow, but if at all possible I suggest
upgrading using the 3.1.3 CD - that is one of its main purposes.

Also, as of today we're building weekly snapshots of MINIX. See
<http://derelict.cs.vu.nl/>
(This interface will probably get a bit fancier. :) Also the build
schedule isn't set in stone.)
The first test image is there already.
The subversion revision number is in the filename, also printed at boot
time, so you can tell exactly which MINIX you're running (it calls
itself 3.1.3 because that's the latest release, but don't believe that).

http://www.minix3.org/download/ contains uncompressed ISO image.
Is it possible to publish compressed image (zip/bz2)?
Best regards, Eugene Agafonov.

I got panic during dp8390 loading under QEMU (v0.9.0 and 0.8.2)
Panic is fixed by specifing
dp8390_args='DPETH0=10EC:11'
in /usr/etc/rc.local
I hope it will help if someone have such problems also.
Best regards, Eugene Agafonov.

Nice additions. Is virtual memory on the to-do list?

Is it?
AFAICS it will overwrite everything except /home, which includes /etc
and /root.
Do I really need to backup and restore /etc and /root?

Thanks for your bug report - this is due to a slight change in the
interface functions with the pci server. This is fixed in the latest
svn.
