Just now, we released a fresh version of Genode, which focuses on storage and virtualization. With this release, we bring block-device access and file-system support on the next level paving the way to use Genode as general-purpose OS. The port of VirtualBox adds support for a wide range of guest OSes (including MS Windows) to the long history of virtualization on Genode. The main features and improvements of the current release are:
- VirtualBox running on the NOVA microhypervisor - Base framework - Improved stack management - Storage - NetBSD file systems ported via rump kernels - Revised block-driver framework - New block cache - New FUSE-based NTFS-3g support - Ported e2fsprogs to the Noux runtime - Low-level OS infrastructure - New pseudo file system as tracing front end - Unified interfaces for graphics - New status-reporting mechanism - Nitpicker support for dynamic screen resizing - Libraries and applications - Extended Noux runtime with POSIX signals - Dynamic ROM service - Platforms - Basic support ODROID XU
