  • Fuzix kernel core remains similar with bug fixes and improved interfaces.
  • Networking layer reworked for modularity to run in a different address space on 8-bit machines.
  • Executable formats unified for 8080, 8085, Z80; 68HC11 and 6803 formats differ but syscall ABI allows cross-binary execution.
  • 32-bit binaries now use extended a.out format for stable executable format.
  • Build process simplified with 'make diskimage' target for bootable systems, though toolchains remain problematic.
  • Make environment improved but still requires 'make clean' for processor switches and 'make kclean' for kernel config changes.
  • N8VEM project rebranded as 'Retrobrew'; RC2014 distinguished from RCbus with updated nomenclature.
  • Support for various processors: 6303/6803, 6502, 6809, 68HC11, 68000, 8080, 8085, ARM M0/M4, ESP8266, NS32K, Z80/Z180, among others.
  • Multiple ports for classic and modern systems including RCbus, MSX, Dragon, COCO, Spectrum clones, and custom retro computers.
  • Documentation and README files provide details for each platform and port.
