Genode OS Framework version 8.08 released

[Christian Helmuth]

The initial version of the Genode OS Framework is available for
download. For naming our releases, we use the Ubuntu version-number
scheme, which takes the year as the major number and the month as
minor number. Hence, the release is called 8.08.

This version contains all base components, services, and device
drivers to execute a provided interactive demonstration scenario on
both Linux via libSDL and bare PC hardware via the L4/Fiasco
microkernel and our custom device drivers.
