This page gives a summary of the stable release (5.30) readiness of the parts of RISC OS that are in common with all platforms. It covers the known bugs and new features which are hoped to be covered before the next stable release deadline, provided developers sign up to help work on them.
For specific hardware platforms, such as the Beagleboard, see the tables relating to their status.
If you’re a developer and plan to work on one of the unassigned tasks, simply edit the page and put your name down. Everyone in the community should be able to get involved testing the release candidates by visiting the download page for the respective hardware.
Please refrain from adding extra items to the list unless there is a developer willing to complete the task. This avoids spiralling out of control with an ever growing list of unassigned and unfinished work!
This list is derived from the open tickets as at 05-Jun-2022 (considered 79 tickets) as a primary source.
In addition the Bugs forum from 22-Feb-2020 to 25-May-2022 (considered 188 threads) was combed for noteworthy and proven bugs which had no resolution. The starting date corresponds to the last survey point for the list used for RISC OS 5.28.
