Announcement: Genode OS Framework version 13.02 released

[Norman Feske]

I am delighted to announce the release of Genode version 13.02. The
overall theme of this version is improving the framework's platform
support. This is most prominently visible in the form of the many
NOVA-specific improvements and the addition of the Cortex-A15-based
Exynos 5250 SoC. But those are only a small part of the whole story,
which is described in full detail in the release notes:

The release-notes summary follows:

- DMA protection via IOMMU (NOVA/x86)
- Full virtualization via the Vancouver VMM (NOVA/x86)

- Base API and OS infrastructure
  - New fault-detection facility
  - New mechanism for file-system notifications
