The eyeOS worldwide community is proud to announce the immediate availability of eyeOS 1.7 Lars, becoming the new production version of the eyeOS Web Operating System.

Even though the development was scheduled to be focused on eyeOS 2.0 after the 1.6 release, the decision of continue the 1.x branch to improve both the system and base applications was taken. From that moment, more than 1.000 commits have been done in the eyeOS Subversion Repository for its development, making the today’s release a reality.

The new eyeOS 1.7 Lars includes some new major features and lots of minor improvements for the global system usage, such as the ability to have more than one system administrator / maintainer, the support for managing Office files under Windows servers, many new features in eyeOS’ calendar, and much more.

The new version also comes with a completely updated base repository with the latest apps, languages and themes. It can be easily accessed from Applications -> Install Applications.
