Raft of new bounties floated

Posted by Steve Revill Thu, 13 Jun 2019 21:51:00 GMT

With the bumper infusion of pledges in our end of 2018 blowout, a number of the previously accumulating bounties have since been claimed by eager developers. That’s left us with some slots to fill for where we want to steer RISC OS next – what big ticket items are missing from everyone’s favourite OS?

So we’ve scoured your suggestions, checked the wish list (twice), and unfolded the roadmap to bring this next set to the surface…

More recent LanManFS protocols

Bring the part of OmniClient that lets us exchange files with Windows right up to date, before Microsoft switches off the older SMB1 forever. Read more…

Git source control client

In support of our recent work to host the definitive OS sources in Git, help developers work more effectively from within RISC OS. Read more…

PNG export of bitmap images

Sprite files are a defacto image container within RISC OS, but if you want to share those with other people you’ll want a Portable Network Graphic (PNG) instead. Read more…

TCP/IP stack overhaul (Step 3 of 4)

The one where we enable WiFi – get connected securely and without the shackles of wires or whilst on the move. Read more…

Toolbox reunification

After diverging for a number of years the core set of modules which form the User Interface Toolbox finally come back together as one definitive set. Read more…

A big thank you to everyone who’s waved bank notes at past bounties, the results of which you’re now using day to day.

The above 5 join the TCP/IP stack overhaul and USB stack which are already collecting. There were 18 other candidates which were considered but deferred for now to keep the list manageable. If you’ve an even better idea you can edit (wiki) or post (forum) to all three of the above sources that we consider, or, if you have a 4 figure sum to launch a standalone bounty get in touch for how we could host that on behalf of the RISC OS Open community.
