Validate the address stored in hard disks and floppy disks and generate a new address if it is now longer a UUID.
Fixes breaking out of the sandbox and accessing host files with potential writes.
This does not fix being able to modify drives using a debug card or creative mode to access other drives.
A big update final push before 1.6 release. Here is the detailed rundown of the changes
/lib/term.lua
1. delay calling gpu.getViewport() when creating a terminal window. this fixes scenarios where the gpu could be a proxy object that doesn't have a viewport defined yet.
2. big blink cleanup to minimize the potential number of gpu calls during blink, and simplify the code
/lib/sh.lua, /lib/process.lua
1. moving shell sandboxing code to process library. This actually simplifies creating the sandbox for processes and handling process crash (process lib and sh lib shared common crash code)
/bin/rc.lua
1. found a bug in restart, fixed
/lib/pipes.lua
1. required update to be compatible with internal(private) methods to the sh library
/lib/package.lua
1. just aesthetic cleanup of error reporting
/bin/mktmp.lua
1. use existing os.tmpname() helper method
/init.lua and (added) /lib/tools/boot.lua
1. moving all the code I can to tools file to allow the memory to unload after boot completes.
/bin/ls.lua
1. fixing symbolic links to directory display (had extra /)
/lib/event.lua
1. refactor listeners and timers into common registers (fully backwards compatible). Provides a mechanism for drivers to know about ALL events without stealing them from the main process. Will document it later when the api is hardened (new api, event.register)
2. memory savings due to refactor
3. protecting computer.pullSignal! this is critical, user scripts that were previously pulling diirection from the computer api were able to put the kernel in a bad state. computer.pullSignal is still available, but it calls the event api to correctly dispatch events as drivers expect.
devfs
1. eeprom and eeprom-data are now dynamically available. This is significant, now when a user removes the eeprom, it will not be listed in /dev
2. devfs upgrade, support built for future dynamic folders (such as /dev/filesystems/)
autorun
1. code cleanup
oppm
1. fixing cwd expected by oppm.lua during initial install (if using .install via `install oppm`)
Allowing removal of dev points can have unintended side effects because the dev points cannot be recreated without a reboot
For example, `cp -f /tmp/eeprom /dev/eeprom` breaks because cp first removes the target file - and then is not allowed to create it with io.write(path, 'w')
