| 2174 | 85 Level 2 Only: |
| 86 - joydrv_6551L, joydrv_6551M and joydrv_6552L now have their MPI slot | |
| 87 select bytes properly represented and should work. | |
| 2251 | 88 - A bug that caused RBF to write to the system globals area has been fixed. |
| 2174 | 89 |

| 2150 | 95 - A bug in os9gen which caused it to create fragmented bootfiles by default |

| 2160 | 98 - The init module has been extended to include the version string that was |
| 99 formerly in the Sysgo module. Sysgo has been modified to print this string | |
| 100 from the init module. | |

| 102 Level 2 Only: | |
| 103 - Device windows W8-W15 have been added to the distribution. | |

| 108 | |
| 2170 | 109 NitrOS-9 V3.2.6: |
| 2150 | 110 |
| 111 - Support for booting from fragmented bootfiles has been added. | |
| 112 - os9gen has been updated to allow the creation of fragmented bootfiles. | |
| 113 - dir and mdir now have more robust support for various screen widths when | |
| 114 displaying data. | |
| 115 - dir and attr now use the SS.FDInf getstat call to obtain a file's FD sector. | |
| 116 - dsave now has -t and -n options. | |
| 117 - A bug in format which affected 128MB partitions has been fixed. | |
| 118 - /D2 descriptor now part of standard bootfile. | |
| 119 | |
| 120 Level 1 Only: | |
| 121 - rbf now supports the SS.FDInf GetStat call. | |
| 122 | |
| 123 ------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 124 | |
| 2170 | 125 NitrOS-9 V3.2.5: |
| 2150 | 126 |
| 127 - rb1773 now properly saves/restores system's NMI vector, also updated to | |
| 128 go into .89Mhz mode when formatting to get around a problem with some | |
| 129 CoCo 3's crashing during format. | |
| 130 - An issue with formatting 3.5" 720K disks has been resolved. | |
| 131 | |
| 132 Level 1 Only: | |
| 133 - Two new modules: CO51.io and term51.dt are available for 51x24 text | |
| 134 support on a graphics screen. | |

| 255 o Automatic conversion of tabs to spaces on input. | |
| 256 - A bug accidentally introduced into os9gen related to boot track on | |
| 257 double-sided disks has been fixed. | |
| 258 - The directory structure of the Modules disk has been modified. All | |
| 259 modules and related files are now under the LEVEL1 directory. | |
| 260 - There are now two versions of sysgo: sysgo_h0 which performs chd/chx | |
| 261 to /H0 on startup, and sysgo_dd which performs chd/chx to /DD on startup. | |
| 262 - A compatibility issue with os9gen's -t option and OS-9 Level One | |

| 334 | |
| 2170 | 335 OS-9 V3.1.0: |
| 2150 | 336 |
| 337 - New common version among all releases of OS-9 for the CoCo | |
| 338 - Many commands have been updated and optimized: | |

| 350 Level 2 Only: | |
| 351 - VDGInt has been back-ported to OS-9 Level Two from NitrOS-9. The | |
| 352 vdgint.io module contains both CoCo 1/2 AND CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
| 353 The vdgint_small.io module only contains CoCo 3 graphics code. | |
| 354 - CC3Go has been moved back into the root directory from the CMDS directory. | |
| 355 This keeps ROM-based users and those who want cc3go in their bootfile from | |
| 356 having to change the init module, which referenced CMDS/cc3go. | |
| 357 - CC3Go once again references /H0 and /H0/CMDS as paths that it tries to | |
| 358 chd/chx to upon startup. This allows for those with floppy boots who | |
| 359 want to point /DD at their floppy to continue to do so. Also, if the | |
| 360 forking of 'shell startup' fails due to lack of a shell file, then | |
| 361 CC3Go will now try to fork AutoEx instead of jumping to the crash routine. | |
| 362 - Several bugs that crept into IOMan during the last release have been fixed. | |
| 363 | |
| 364 ------------------------------------------------------ | |
| 365 | |

| 371 | |
| 372 Level 1 Only: | |
| 373 - SYS/password now references /DD instead of /D0 | |
| 374 | |
| 375 Level 2 Only: | |
| 376 - SCF, Rammer and PipeMan are now made from the NitrOS-9 version source base, | |
| 377 bringing in new improvements and features from that platform. | |
| 378 - Clock and Clock2 are now unifed once again and are built from the same source | |
| 379 base as the clocks from NitrOS-9. | |
| 380 - The printer driver is now for the CoCo 3 serial port. In the previous | |
| 381 release, it was mistakenly made for the Disto parallel port. | |
| 382 - Window descriptors now have proper initialization count. | |
| 383 - The debug program is now part of the CMDS package. | |
| 384 - With the inclusion of NitrOS-9's SCF, a bug which crashed the system when | |
| 385 typing CTRL-E or CTRL-C while using shellplus has been fixed. | |
| 386 |
