Major steps in ALMOS development

• 2012: Development of a version of ALMOS code-named “v3”. Introducing a new scalable threading-model and updating the virtual memory subsystem.
• 2010-2011: Development of a version of ALMOS code-named “v2”. Introducing the virtual address space management and adding more user-land libraries.
• 2008-2010: Development of a version of ALMOS code-named “v1”. It includes the main kernel data-structures and user-land system libraries.
• 2008-2009: Specification of ALMOS's design and its development road-map.
