Taking its name from a Turkish word for a specific southwesterly wind that can sometimes become dangerous, LODOS is a FluffOS patch (formerly a fork).

Extensions and modifications made in LODOS include:

  • Structured data in LODOS is always known as a struct and never a “class”. Identical structs are now allowed to be included from anywhere and treated as equal type.

  • JSON parsing baked into the driver from rejected FluffOS PR1156.

  • Rich text formatting (color, style, terminal attributes) baked into the driver as per this article.

  • IPv6 enabled by default.

The features formerly available in LODOS as a fork, but integrated into FluffOS as of v2026.0713.0 include:

  • Acknowledging that LPC is not C: LPC files are allowed to end in .lpc (including #include files), and not .c or .h file extensions.

  • Fix for the call_out handles bug.

  • Fix for an unpublished buffer overflow involving retrieving data from MySQL of BLOB type.

  • Writing missing ‘TBW’ documentation (especially in docs/efun/general/).
