 # HellOS
+I have made changes for the last two versions of ZIG because each version requires a small rewrite in the code. The master branch has remained untouched since version 0.7.1. Check out the branches!
 
-Bare bones "hello world" i386 kernel written in [Zig](https://ziglang.org/).
+Bare bones "hello world" i386 kernel written in [Zig](https://ziglang.org/) version 0.11.0-dev.
 
 ## Building
 
 ```
-zig build-exe hellos.zig -target i386-freestanding -T linker.ld
+zig build-exe hellos.zig -target x86-freestanding -T linker.ld
 ```
