AstraOS v0.2 is finally here!

What things are new from version 0.1? Well, in no particular order,
* Streams aka Fifo's
* A terminal called dave_terminal
* Multicore support
* User Threading api
* Thread Groups
* Inter Process Function Calls aka IPFC's
* Two gui-app api's built with ipfc's
Going along with the new features are of course fixes to the many 

bugs I found in previous versions. Playing around with this version 

is a whole lot more fun then v0.1, it's almost exponential the 

effect of adding more to an Operating System. We still have a very 

long way to go though. The next obvious thing for me to work on is 

the file api. Right now you can only launch new programs from files 

and navigate a directory structure. Once you can read and write files, 

the core pillers of the OS will exist. Graphics, User Input, 

Inter Process Communication, Persistent Data Storage. That's 

something you can start building on top of.

Tutorial videos and articles concerning all features will be made 

over the coming weeks. If you have any questions or would like 

some help concerning AstraOS, do email me at sam.henning.smith@protonmail.com.
