Roadmap

Small steps, real milestones.

Sky OS is moving from the first boot sector toward a full desktop system. The roadmap is not a promise that everything is finished; it is the path being followed.

0.1

First heartbeat

Handmade boot sector and the first standalone boot preview.

0.2

Real kernel basics

Protected mode, VGA console, IDT, PIC remap, PIT timer, keyboard IRQ, and halt/wake loop.

0.4

Debug and memory

Serial logging, named exceptions, panic diagnostics, E820 memory map, early allocator, shell, SkyFS sector, identity paging, and heap work.

Now

Desktop and system foundations

SkyFS V2, SkyGUI v2, hardware detection, app runner concepts, process tables, handles, internal networking model, and release checks.

Next

Programs, graphics, and stability

Native binary format, safer scheduling, better graphics, file manager, app toolkit, stronger disk safety, and public alpha preparation.

1.0

Sky Desktop

Graphical shell, windows, launcher, settings, file manager, and a user-facing app model.

Long-term dream: compatibility layers for Linux, Windows, games, and more. That is not a first-kernel feature. It comes after the OS itself becomes stable enough to stand on.
