Kazo OS 3.0.0, changes for app developers:
- Backups end in .kosbak, design tokens are --kos-*, diagnostics are KOS*. The last short HOS names become KOS. New backups are .kosbak files; an older .hosbak backup can still be restored. The CSS variables of the design system are now --kos-* (with data-kos-* attributes and kos-* classes): a theme file or theme pack written with --hos-* is still read, and saved themes and settings are updated at the first start. Build diagnostics are now KOSAPP, KOSSDK, KOSWEB, KOSBG and KOSCHG, with the same numbers: update NoWarn and pragma lists.
- Commands, files, app ids and settings take the Kazo OS names. hackpkg becomes kazopkg and hackbackup becomes kazobackup (the old names still work and print a warning), app packages and theme packs use .kazoapp and .kazotheme (the old .hackapp and .hacktheme are still read), the OS files move to /etc/kazoos, ~/.config/kazoos and /etc/kazoweb, the store is called Kazo OS Store, ASP.Hack becomes ASP.Kazo and Hack Paint becomes Kazo Paint. The server and the PWA read the KazoOs configuration section and KAZOOS_ variables, and still read HackerOs and HACKEROS_. The dotnet new templates are now kazoos-window, kazoos-solution... App ids become org.kazoos.*, capabilities kazoos.*, and the browser databases, theme ids and caches take the kazoos and kazoweb names.
- HackerOS is now called Kazo OS. The name HackerOS was already used by a Linux distribution. The OS now shows the name Kazo OS everywhere: window title, installed app, sign-in screen, notifications and documentation.
- SDK 3.0: the Kazo.Os.* packages and the Kazo* types. Every package moves from HackerOs.* to Kazo.Os.* (Kazo.Os.AppSdk, Kazo.Os.Templates...) and every SDK type from Hack* to Kazo* (HackFile becomes KazoFile, HackerIcon becomes KazoIcon, and the HackIcon record becomes KazoSurfaceIcon). The version is 3.0.0: an app built on SDK 2.x is refused and must be rebuilt against the new packages.
- The Kazo OS Store workflow of the kazoos-solution template opens its pull request again. The workflow no longer passes --remote to gh repo fork, which current gh versions refuse, and retries the clone of the fork while GitHub creates it.
- The kazoos-solution template names its app project for the Kazo OS Store. store/store.json of a new app repository has a project field, so the catalog builds the app's project instead of the whole solution, whose tests project has no KazoOsPack target.
