       Important announcement about the To-DoOS NT kernel.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       You may have wondered why no development updates existed for
       over 6 months. We can now reveal the reason. We have been
       developing a new kernel to replace the aging NT Kernel. Now,
       this story starts back in February 2020.
       Development was wrapping up on To-DoOS X. We decided that we
       were going to start development on a new kernel, derived from
       the Mcupdates kernel, which was used since the earliest
       development stages of To-DoOS 1.0, then called To-Do List App.
       Our reasoning behind this is that we no longer wished to use a
       kernel that was, well, 3 years old. Thus what would become the
       NT Kernel was born. We designed the NT kernel to be as
       compatible with the old kernel as possible to ensure maximum
       compatibility with previous extensions. This also meant certain
       apps like the Update interface could be backported to older
       releases. Now, to today. The NT kernel is still used, and is now
       older than the kernel it replaced was when it was first used. We
       have pushed the NT kernel and by extension its predecessor,
       Mcupdates, to its limits. We have reached the limits of the NT
       kernel, and as a result, we can no longer add features to it.
       So, we began development on a new kernel to permanently replace
       it. We can reveal that this new kernel is called, To-DoOS
       Quantum. This new kernel is currently in development on a fork
       of To-DoOS NT 18. This kernel is built to be expanded upon and
       will allow us to continue to expand To-DoOS in the foreseeable
       future and will provide us with a stable platform. Many of the
       limitations of the NT kernel were due to the use of outdated
       JavaScript functions, which while functional and highly
       compatible with older browsers, is hard to add on to. Our new
       kernel utilizes the most up to date JavaScript functions to
       ensure future expandability.
       Now. What will we call future releases? To-DoOS NT wouldn't be
       accurate if there is no NT. So we have decided that the new
       naming scheme will be To-DoOS Quantum NT
       MajorVersion.MinorVersion. This acknowledges the last remnants
       of the NT kernel, while acknowledging the new kernel. Now, we
       can confirm that all future releases will utilise this kernel.
       Now, that concludes this keynote.
