Ending support for ReadLine.Reboot
We have introduced you to ReadLine.Reboot back in June when we’re trying to expand the base library, ReadLine, after it got abandoned by Toni Solarin-Sodara in 2018.

Overcoming the FileSystem.Write() Dilemma
During the development of the upcoming Kernel Simulator 0.0.20.0, we have made a namespace change to all the source files.

We had a warning which…
