  • Added support of kernel inotify to enable monitoring of filesystem events.

Written by Jan Svoboda on Monday 19 August 2019 in the category Release.

Tired of waiting for 6.2.0 release? Well, the wait is over!

The Conel OS 6.2.0 is available for download.

Please note that the new version 6.2.0 sports a number of major changes, the biggest of them all being the new Linux kernel - 4.14.138.
