<p>
|
||||
History of the MontaukOS project (major milestones).</a>
|
||||
</p>
|

<hr>
|
||||
<h2>Before MontaukOS</h2>
|
||||
<p>MontaukOS came after a series of abadoned kernel and operating system projects that had been in development since 2022.</p>
|
||||
<p>These projects were abandoned due to decay, code quality, and architectural incoherence.</p>
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
<h2>Late 2024 - early 2025</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<h3>December 2024/January 2025</h3>
|
||||
<p>Early development of the MontaukOS codebase was started, deriving from the <a href="https://github.com/Limine-Bootloader/limine-cxx-template">Limine C++ template</a>, a template for creating a freestanding binary that can be loaded by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limine_(bootloader)">Limine bootloader</a> using its protocol.</p>
|
||||
<h3>February 2025</h3>
|
||||
<p>Basic kernel features were implemented, including <a href="https://git.montaukos.org/daniel/MontaukOS/src/commit/6f1c6f131680ccaa7c0bf3ec8f6a0aab77d3d2fd/kernel/src/Memory/PageAllocator.cpp">an allocator for page frames</a> and <a href="https://git.montaukos.org/daniel/MontaukOS/src/commit/6f1c6f131680ccaa7c0bf3ec8f6a0aab77d3d2fd/kernel/src/Hal/GDT.cpp">an implementation of the Global Descriptor Table for x86_64 processors</a>. The first commit to the <a href="https://git.montaukos.org/daniel/MontaukOS/src/commit/6f1c6f131680ccaa7c0bf3ec8f6a0aab77d3d2fd">repo</a> was made on February 27, 2025 at 7:48 p.m.</p>
