Hi,

'Contiki 2.5.rc1 binary release for Retrocomputing' has just been made
available on
  http://contiki.cbm8bit.com/
and
  http://a2retrosystems.com/contiki.html

It's a straight compile of the unmodified Contiki 2.5.rc1 sources avialable on
  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/contiki/Contiki/Contiki%202.5-rc1/contiki-2.5.rc1.zip
using cc65 2.13.2

The major changes are:

- Support of the Atari 8-bit machines with the cart described on
  http://www.atari8ethernet.com/

- FTP client app (only download although UI suggests upload too)

- Twitter client with OAuth workaround (using SuperTweet.net)

- New high contrast color scheme for Contiki UI apps on the C64

I hope that this release helps to foster further interest in creating
new internetworked retrocomputing applications based on Contiki - or
improving/extending the existing ones. Just a few examples that come
into my mind:

- Add upload capabilities to the FTP client
- Add IMAP capabilities to the SMTP client
- Create an RSS feed reader

Contiki for Retrocomputing is meant to be a community project!

Regards,
Oliver
