Today WinBatchOS is releasing Build 10004 in the alpha channel.
Note: Builds will now be usually released frequently or weekly in the alpha branch until we merge on to the beta branch.

Quick Notes- Build 10004 has many unstable code in this release, so we are also releasing 10000.212 with no changes.

WinBatchX's generation is now leaving- going ahead by WinBatchX 23, we will have a revisied name- WinBatchOS.

Whats new in this build..

Major changes to system files
WinBatchX 23 also comes with major changes to the system files that are being used by WinBatchX, again. The Desktop, Kernel, and Apps have now been taken out of the main file and now in their respective directories in the WINBATCHX folder. There are tons of bugs that we have now with this release, so we also placed in build 23.10000.200 in there for other users who can't use build 10002 (this build).

Improvements/Changes

  • No visual improvements or changes in this build (execpt lots of code changes not listed)
  • The graphics are very 'buggy,' so it's not meant to be used. Use build 10000.212 instead.

Current bugs:

  • We're trying to fix all the bugs within the next build.
  • When opening file explorer, then using a feature on the taskbar and closing it, the top bar of the app will not appear (it shows the desktop background instead).
  • The power menu 'Sleep Button' does not actually represent sleep; it represents the sign out button as of this build.
  • The time and date for the taskbar does not work in this build.
  • If you open and close the start menu too fast, or click the desktop, apps, and other GUI-only things too fast, the command line will crash.
  • The first input click you put in will spam 'Invalid operation.' twice to the command line. It is used by the new SDK-23 context menu, but has no affect or bugs on it's usage.
  • There are a few dozen other bugs not listed in this changelog.

The alpha channel in WinBatchX is meant as a A/B testing channel for features and new security fixes. We might add those features that work into a newer release, but other features can be pulled out at any time that might need tweaking or bug fixes. We released WinBatchX 17.1, 18.1, and 19, and they're based on WinBatchX 18, not WinBatchX 23's current build (like how we released 15.1, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, and almost 15.6, but they are based on the latest developers build back then). The next WinBatchX builds (20, 21, 22) are also be based on WinBatchX 18 with many stability changes and fixes. Some of the features anticipated in WinBatchX 17 and 18 may be released by WinBatchX 23. By the time WinBatchX 22 gets released, we'll make a decision to either release WinBatchX Desktop 2023 as a release, or drop it. If we don't release it, then the releases that were based on WinBatchX 18 (19, 20, 21, etc.) overlap this branch and development resets back to WinBatchX 22.
(We will definitely update this paragraph above later)
