I have released Mona 0.3.0 alpha9.

This is a feature release that includes a experimental version of new Scheme based shell by Higepon.
You can use Scheme for a shell script and shell commands.

the Scheme shell supports
- lambda.
- call-process/start-process.
- call-with-current-continuation(call/cc).
- Almost of the Revised5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme(R5RS) features.
- An abbreviation of parentheses.
- Emacs like key bindings (C-a/C-e/C-f/C-b/C-k).

The feature changes also includes below functions.

- Improved libc implmentations by Shotaro Tsuji.
- Ported a Squirrel programing language by okayu.
- Implemented a standard I/O and pipe by Higepon.
- Improved thread APIs - Added mthread_create_with_arg/mthread_kill. Removed mthred_join.
- Improved DLL - we now can use an entry point.
- Implemented Beep sound APIs and sample player.
- Improved a CD-ROM access speed by junjunn.
- Improved a console drawing speed by junjunn.
- Improved start up routines - we remove MonaMain(), add main().
- Supported build on gcc 4.1.1 by shadow.
- Improved BayGUI.

Thanks for all the developers and users who have supported Mona OS.

why can't mona boot from just the cd (without a floppy disk)? i don't have a floppy drive, and qemu is really slow...
