We just released the version 17.05 of the Genode OS Framework. According to our road map, this version is designated as a suitable basis for development branches to be maintained over a longer period of time. With this goal in mind, the release cycle was focused on wrapping up our great API renovation that we started of year ago, and on updating fundamental parts of the framework that we want to keep stable in the foreseeable future. But the release is also rich of interesting new features and improvements, just to name a few highlights:
- New approach and tools for package management - Updated revision of the "Genode Foundations" book - Completion of Genode's API modernization - GNU compiler collection (GCC) 6.3 including Ada support - Qt5 updated to version 5.8 - Feature-complete VirtualBox 5.1.22 for NOVA - Nim programming language - Interpolated wall-clock times - New network-traffic and CPU-time monitoring tools - Muen separation kernel updated to latest version
The official release documentation covers these and many more topic in great detail:

Have fun with exploring the new release!

yes, init is now able to provide services to its siblings. For details, please refer to the corresponding section [1] of the release notes. To see this feature used in practice, you may have a look at the new version of the gems/run/wm.run script [2]. There is a dedicated sub init for all the drivers and one for all the window-manager components. By combining init's service forwarding with the new depot tools, all the ugly conditional parts of the run script are magically gone now. See the previous version [3] of the run script for comparison.
