I am happy to announce the version 15.05 of the Genode OS Framework, which represents the most comprehensive release in our history. Its most visible feature is a completely new written documentation in book form. On the technical side, the highlights of the release are:
- Comprehensive architectural documentation - Feature completion of the our custom kernel - Kernel-protected capabilities - Principal support for the 64-bit x86 - Dynamic thread weights - Revised device-driver infrastructure - Device drivers - New AHCI driver - Multi-touch support - Audio drivers ported from OpenBSD - SD-card drivers for i.MX53 and Raspberry Pi - Board support for i.MX6-based Wandboard - Support for GPT partitions - Proof-of-concept support for the seL4 kernel - NOVA kernel mechanism for signals - Tool chain updated to GCC 4.9.2 and binutils 2.25
These and many more improvements are described in the release documentation:
