The new release 9.11 of the Genode OS Framework is available.
The current release comprises a whole bunch of new functionality with respect to libraries, OS services and device drivers, like the Light-weight IP stack, Qt4 Webkit and USB storage, just to mention a few. Moreover, we incorporated new generic interfaces and made parts of Genode more efficient especially with respect to memory consumption. Apart from functional extensions and improvements, the new release contains initial support for the ARM architecture. As cherry on the cake, we release an adapted version of OKLinux running on top of the Genode/OKL4 platform. As a consequence, native Genode applications run side-by-side with unmodified Linux binaries.
