RISC OS 5.13 available for download

Published: 25th Feb 2007, 00:01:02.

Features fixes for various components

Castle logoCastle released RISC OS 5.13 this weekend, its first free update since the paid-for release of 5.12. The ROM image can be fetched from Castle's iyonix.com website.

The new version of their 32bit stream of the operating system is the result of a bug fixing exercise: its "key features" are two updates for the Filer, two updates for the Pinboard, a fix for the Display Manager, an update for the Repeat command, a fix within the Shared C Library module, an update for the BASIC assembler, and a fix for the EtherK network driver.

Castle's John Ballance told Iyonix owners: "I have put up ROM 5.13. Please let me know of any issues discovered."

Although RISC OS 5.13 is a free upgrade, users must pay for 5.12 to apply the new ROM.

  • RISC OS 5 pictured running on ARM Cortex-A8 kit
    Picture exclusive - This grainy photograph shows a port of RISC OS 5, sourced from the RISC OS Open project, running on a Beagleboard - a device powered by a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a built-in graphics chip. The port, developed by Jeffrey Lee with help from Uwe Kall and ROOL staff, is seen as a major breakthrough for the shared-source project as it proves the OS can be ported to new hardware without the need for a large team of engineers.
