I start this thread to provide a means of announcing major package updates. For discussion on individual packages, please start a new thread.
The KERNLEDR package was updated to version 20250404.
Significant changes:
- CRITICAL: removed a bug where the deletion of files with a long file name could corrupt the directory.
- BREAKING: FAT+ support is removed from the kernel binary. Maximum file size is now 4GB - 1 byte. No major OS supports FAT+, so this should increase general compatibility, unless you used the EDR kernel to store files larger than 4GB - 1 byte. In this case, DO NOT UPDATE!
FAT+ removal was a major change. Hopefully no new bugs were introduced by this.

lDebug was updated to release 9.
A package for FreeCOM 0.86 was added (for now, english only). Needs the current bleeding edge kernel, and should be used with XMS, as the shell uses it for swapping.
The KERNLEDR package was updated to 20250425.
Significant changes:
- Reported DOS version changed to 7.10
- MS SCANDISK (from Win98 SE) now works with FAT32 partitions under the EDR kernel
- DR-DOS TASKMGR seems to work
- INT21.33FC (set DOS version) implemented (used by the CALLVER program)
Package CALLVER updated to 2025feb16.
With this version, setting the DOS version works under EDR kernel >=20250425.
The KERNLEDR package was updated to version 20250426, as version 20250425 contains a serve bug making SvarDOS fail to install.
