Breeze:OS Kodiak©® -- Release Notes
The Breeze::OS Desktop©® GUI style guide stays away from things too Microsoft, Apple, KDE, or Gnome.
There is no start menu, taskbar, and systray.
Additionally, the menubar and its associated menus, in all applications, is avoided; and, replaced by images, tool buttons, and pagers, as access points for data or functionality. Our initial desktop will allow system and desktop settings modifications, only through the desktop daemon, as per our Breeze::OS Desktop©® guidelines.
The
Breeze::OS Desktop©® and its frameless theme are trademarked, see Gallery.
We have implemented additional features, to simplify the
administration of a networked set of client
installations, mainly with the Breeze::OS Packager and the Breeze::OS search daemon.
We have implemented a login manager, which when complete, will allow you to select your preferred GUI toolkit when instantiating the Breeze::OS Desktop GUI environment; and also allow you to select a remote host, as the desktop host computer. The completed desktop will provide features which will fully enable a Web Operating System.
We have implemented a way to create and manage virtual clubs, by simply accessing your address-book and selecting email-addresses indicating the members of the club to be created, see club patent.
We have implemented an Email client, so you can send email in a peer-to-peer fashion. Your emails are sent as HTTP requests using our XML message-based email schema (see white-paper), and your attachments are sent only when requested by the recipient.
We have implemented a Feed client, so club members
can be updated through feed
updates in
a peer-to-peer
fashion. Your feed updates are sent as HTTP
requests using our XML message-based
feed schema (see white-paper),
and
your
feed
attachments
or
updates are
sent only when requested
by the recipient, or club member.
We have included the LGPL gcrypt algorithms in the set of encryption algorithms available for our Breeze::OS Salt protocol©®. All connections are protected with SSL and our SALT©® protocol. This version has UDP connections as an added feature.
