ISOs are now archived on the download server (nginx) instead of git.
History was rewritten with git-filter-repo to remove all *.iso and
ramdisk.tar blobs, shrinking the repo from ~500MB to ~80MB.

Cut the 0.1.8 release (native GCC/binutils port forming the Montauk SDK,
revamped MTK-based Installer, anti-aliased MTK rounded-rect frames,
vblank-synced double-buffered Intel GPU page flips, max windows raised
to 32, and various bug fixes, including the halved ISO size from no
longer nesting ramdisk.tar). Archive the 0.1.8 ISO, publish it to the
website, refresh release notes and the downloads page, and open the
0.1.9 dev cycle (apiVersion 10, BuildNo reset).

The ramdisk build embedded a full second copy of ramdisk.tar at
boot/ramdisk.tar inside the ramdisk itself. Nothing consumes it (the
Installer copies the live 0:/ tree file-by-file and explicitly skips it),
so it was pure dead weight that doubled the image. Build the tar once.

Route draw_rounded_frame through a new fill_round_rect_aa that fills the
straight interior solid and 4x4-supersamples only the four corner arcs,
so button/text-field/panel/list-frame corners are smooth instead of
pixelated, at negligible cost.
Consolidate the checkbox's private AA fill/blend helpers onto the shared
aa_blend_px / fill_round_rect_aa primitives.

Rewrite the Installer app on the Montauk Toolkit (Canvas + gui/mtk
widgets, theme, hover states, scrollbar) replacing the hand-rolled px_*
renderer and bespoke TrueType usage.
Add a new "Software" step: an expandable checkbox tree for optional
components (Montauk SDK with gcc/g++, binutils, tcc, lua sub-items;
Games; Office; Internet apps; Printing; experimental httpd and SDR).
Unchecked components' paths are excluded from the install copy, with a
longest-path ownership rule so e.g. sdk/tcc installs even when the rest
of the SDK is deselected. The update flow refreshes only the components
the target already has.
Add tri-state checkbox and disclosure-arrow widgets to the MTK toolkit
(anti-aliased, supersampled).
Merge tcc and lua into 0:/sdk (0:/sdk/tcc, 0:/sdk/lua) and drop 0:/lib:
update tcc config.h, lua luaconf.h, both Makefiles, the devkit clean
scope, man pages and montaukos.org notices.
Make printing optional: init skips printd when 0:/os/printd.elf is
absent.

stat() synthesized path-hash inodes for regular files but left
st_ino = 0 for directories. GCC's include-path setup deduplicates
directories by (st_dev, st_ino), so every directory on MontaukOS
compared equal and cc1plus silently dropped all C++ include dirs
except the first - <iostream> resolved but the target-specific
bits/c++config.h directory was gone. Directories now get the same
path-hash inodes as files. (Different spellings of one directory
hash differently; the harmless direction - a dir may be searched
twice, never dropped.)
Native GCC relinked against the fixed libc.

The GCC driver relocates its install prefix from argv[0]. crt1
hardcoded argv[0] as "prog", so make_relative_prefix cwd-joined it
and computed exec prefixes relative to the current directory
(0:/users/admin/../libexec/gcc/...), and because the computed
gcc_exec_prefix is non-NULL the standard /sdk prefixes were never
searched. cc1plus was unreachable from anywhere except (by accident
of the path arithmetic) 0:/sdk/bin. sdk-diag proved the kernel and
libc layers all worked; only the driver's self-relocation was lost.
New SYS_GETEXECPATH (151) returns the absolute path the process was
spawned from (Process::name); crt1 uses it for argv[0] with a "prog"
fallback. With a real argv[0], make_relative_prefix computes
0:/sdk/bin/../libexec/gcc/ from any cwd. Native GCC relinked against
the new crt1; sdk-diag ships in the SDK as a permanent probe; the
montauk.h TCC mirror gains the wrapper (checker enforced it).

ElfLoad read the entire binary into one kernel heap allocation before
copying segments out. The heap grows through ReallocConsecutive, so a
40 MB cc1plus required 10k physically contiguous pages - effectively
impossible after boot with a 368 MB ramdisk module resident, and the
failed spawn surfaced as posix_spawnp ENOENT in the gcc driver.
The loader now reads the ELF header and program header table (bounded
at 64 entries), then copies each PT_LOAD page and the PT_TLS template
directly from the VFS into freshly mapped process pages. Peak kernel
memory per load drops from fileSize to one page regardless of binary
size. Boot-smoke verified: all userspace loads through this path.

Two ramdisk fixes exposed by shipping the C++ header tree:
Paths longer than 100 characters (libstdc++'s pb_ds detail headers)
are split by USTAR across the name field and the 155-byte prefix
field at offset 345. The parser only read the name field, so the
tails of 7 deep header paths appeared as bogus root-level entries
while the real paths were missing. The parser now joins
prefix + '/' + name, and MaxNameLen grows to 260 to hold the full
combined path.
SYS_CHDIR validated non-root targets by opening them as files, which
only ever worked because directories used to be openable. It now uses
the ReadDir probe, which fails for nonexistent paths and regular
files on all backends (ext2/fat32 already validate the inode type).
