AntOS v1.0.0-alpha

This version 1.0.0a removes the dependencies on Riot.js by reimplementing the major API for GUI and Announcement system. The entire core API is also rewritten in TypeScript

AntOS is a front-end API that mimics the traditional desktop environment on the web browser. The front-end can connect to a remote server and acts as a virtual desktop environment (VDE). The original purpose of AntOS is to provide visual tools to access and control resource on remote server and embedded linux environment. With its application API and the provided SDK, AntOS facilitates the development and deployment of user specific applications.

Change logs

It has been a long time since version 0.x.x and now AntOS hits a major changes in its API. From version 1.0.0, AntOS no longer depends on Riot.js in its core UI API. This version introduces a brand new AntOS UI API called AFX API which is rewritten from bottom up. The entire AntOS core API is rewritten in Typescript (from Coffeescript) for better debugging, code maintenance and documenting.
