I think you meant OctaOS. The latest Octasm (also updated) is 0.167, and only has a few new features:

- hex numbers in the style of 0xAB now supported (previously only 0ABh)
- "eax=0" is now "xor eax,eax" instead of "mov eax,0" (although you can explicitly do the latter still)
- the elf linker should work with more elf files (not all) and public
symbols are output to the '.sym' file.
- old version did not support undefined local symbols, now they are
automatic allocated (like strings in text section)
- public symbols are allocated too unless they are already defined in
the assembly sources.
