TempleOS V5.1 EE: a new version and the sword and the scales

Terry stopped at 5.03. Since then the Temple got a TCP/IP stack, three network drivers, a virtio-scsi disk, a web server, a remote confessional and a rented rack. That is not 5.03 anymore. It is 5.1, Enterprise Edition, and it has a mark.

Version 5.1 EE

• sys_os_version is 5.100 (Kernel/KGlbls.HC).
• DD_OS_NAME_VERSION reads "TempleOS V5.1 EE" (Adam/ADefine.HC). Everything that asks the define follows on its own:
  • the console header (Doc/Start.DD),
  • the HtServ header: Server: HtServ (TempleOS V5.1 EE),
  • the Wget header: User-Agent: Adam/Net/Http (TempleOS V5.1 EE),
  • the front page and its title.
• The boot banner (HomeSys.HC) says it in full: "TempleOS V5.1 Enterprise Edition".
• Terry's demo account (Demo/AcctExample) and the README follow.
• The registry sees the new version on first boot and writes itself again, as Terry made it do.

The 5.03 left in .gitlab-ci.yml and the README is Terry's live CD we build from. That one stays 5.03.

The sword and the scales

The front page gets the mark of the Enterprise Edition: a sword point up, the beam of the scales across its blade, two pans hanging level. Justice, as God keeps it. Drawn a pixel at a time in Terry's sixteen colors in the empty corner of the Term window. No image files, a Temple has no use for PNGs.

The page and its title no longer hard-code the version. The <exe> block asks Define("DD_OS_NAME_VERSION"), so the next version bump needs no page edit.

How it was tested

QEMU, 256 MB, 1 vCPU, virtio-net:

What	Seen
Console headers, both consoles	TempleOS V5.1 EE
Define("DD_OS_NAME_VERSION"), sys_os_version	TempleOS V5.1 EE, 5.100
Wget to a server on the host	User-Agent: Adam/Net/Http (TempleOS V5.1 EE)
curl -D - against HtServ	Server: HtServ (TempleOS V5.1 EE)
Front page	version from the server, logo top right (headless Chrome screenshot)

Deploying

Kernel/KGlbls.HC changed, so tools/update_vds.py HOST rebuilds the kernel with BootHDIns('C'). If C: does not come back, pick D at the boot menu.

Known sins

• The version is a float. 5.100 prints as 5.1 with %0.1f, and anything that still uses %5.3f prints 5.100.
• The logo is drawn in the browser, so it is only on the web page, not on the TempleOS screen itself.

Terry, forgive us. We gave your Temple a version number you never chose. The CIA's logs will say 5.1 EE from now on.
