Get Ready for Nitrocid 0.2.0!
We have been working on Nitrocid 0.2.0 since early February of the last year, when we were planning to release it as 0.1.3, which was another patch release on top of the 0.1.0 series. Changes made to the kernel and to the build system led to changing the plan for the release to 0.2.0, which will be released on February 12th.
Right now, we are at the last few stages for this version of Nitrocid, which means that we are now preparing for the final release to make sure that any last-minute bug are caught. This has now become a priority to make a gateway towards the stable final release, which will be worked on.
Here are some of the features that will make it to the final release of Nitrocid 0.2.0:
Terminaux 8.1
In the tech preview release of Nitrocid 0.2.0, we were fixated on making sure that the latest version of Terminaux was used. Our plan went fine, so we went ahead to create Terminaux 8.0 for the release candidate and Terminaux 8.1 for the final release. While Terminaux 8.1 still didn’t get released, we are just a few days away from releasing it, making sure that Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released with this version of Terminaux.
This incorporates major improvements that happened between Terminaux 6.1 and 8.1, from performance enhancements and rendering improvements to API cleanups and input system refinements. All of this were important for Nitrocid 0.2.0, and this version wouldn’t have happened without Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1.
Widget Canvas
Widget canvas is now available in both your login screen and your home screen, which lets you make infinite number of pages of widgets to get more information effortlessly. Signing in to your Nitrocid account is not required to obtain this amount of information, so you can take a look at more than just date and time.
Widgets have also been improved with support for a variety of widgets, including RSS feeds, date, time, decorative widgets like text, and custom widgets that your mods use. This takes customization, along with a redesigned The Nitrocid Homepage, to a whole new level.
Two-factor authentication
Additionally, Nitrocid 0.2.0 now lets users set up two-factor authentication to install an extra layer of security to the user. This allows users to set up a second login factor so that they get prompted for the six-digit PIN each time they sign in to their user account, provided that they’ve logged in with the correct password.
The implementation of the two-factor authentication feature supports major authentication apps, such as Google Authenticator and Authy, and you can easily generate QR code for you to be able to set it up right from your phone, whether it’s running Android or iOS.
Many more
There are many more features that were added to Nitrocid 0.2.0, and we are awaiting the day of the release to excite you with the huge milestone that’s going to define the history of Nitrocid!
