September 1, 2014 Official Release of LuneOS and Project Updates WebOS Ports releases LuneOS with it's first release called Affogato. Read all about it at PivotCE. It’s been a long while since we announced our Alpha 2 release back in June of 2013, but today after months of very hard work we are very proud and happy to provide our latest release to the community now named “LuneOS”. The first eye catching change is the new name we’ll be using for our project going forward. The distribution will be called “LuneOS” instead of “WebOS Ports Open webOS” because it wasn’t very catchy. Lune is the French translation of moon and refers to the user interface we all love so much in legacy webOS, LunaSysMgr, which is named after the Latin/Spanish translation of moon.

Ready to start using LuneOS? Great! Here’s what you need to know: there is still a lot of work in progress and the current state should be considered as being alpha even though it’s working quite nicely for the parts that are implemented already. Therefore, use is at your own risk. Currently BlueTooth, the accelerometer, camera and ALS are not implemented yet. Audio & wifi should work, though might be buggy. If you have a TouchPad you can start here. You will want to use the “Release” version. Nightly is used for things that are being worked on and bug fixes for the next release. If you need help installing it, go here. If you’d like to try the emulator go here. And for the Nexus 4 go here. All the supported devices can be found here. https://pivotce.com/2014/09/01/official-release-of-luneos-and-project-updates/
