Last release was 13 months ago; if you follow the Ti calculator community (http://www.ticalc.org/) you'll know this is fairly old news.

The blog, which others have mentioned and which is prominently-linked on the Sourceforge site (http://punix-os.blogspot.com/), would suggest that there is new news, and it's fairly significant. It has actually been run on real hardware rather than in-simulator, it would seem.

I find it not a little jarring that the kernel has been pasted together from code from other systems, not just inspired by code from other systems, in places. Is there a clear license statement I've missed? I'm assuming it's GPLv2, since it includes code directly from Linux, but it's hard to say even for those files since the license statements have been stripped.

Still, at least as neat as all of the excitement about the shocking new news that is a game including an emulator for a trivial, fanciful, microprocessor, and other things that Hacker News goes nuts over at great length and in a sustained way. If this is too old news for you, perhaps you'd like to read another iteration of how to hire software engineers (answer: don't), whether culture fit is racist (answer: probably), or how best to cloud your cloud cloud cloud Ruby cloud cloud bro cloud.

Cool, I missed that.
