Dear L4 hackers, I am pleased to announce the release of the version 11.02 of the Genode OS Framework. Genode is an OS architecture that promises to align high security and robustness with dynamic application workloads. The Genode OS Framework as the reference implementation of this architecture. With the new version 11.02, we enabled the framework to be used with the Fiasco.OC kernel developed at TU Dresden in addition to the already supported base platforms L4/Fiasco, L4ka::Pistachio, Linux, OKL4v2, Codezero, and NOVA. Furthermore, we upgraded the NOVA support to version 0.3, which was published earlier this month. So now, both current kernel developments at TU Dresden are fully embraced by the framework. We are grateful for the excellent support we got from Alexander Warg and Udo Steinberg. Alongside the expanded platform support, the new release features many improvements, the most prominent being - Fiasco.OC as new base platform - Running Genode natively on MicroBlaze CPUs - Support for version 0.3 of the NOVA hypervisor - Noux execution environment for GNU userland software - Base framework - Core resource accounting using guarded allocators - Protocol enhancements for upgrading session quotas - Qt4 updated to version 4.7.1 - New tooling support for automated integration and testing Please find a more elaborative description of the changes accompanied with a lot of background information in the release notes of version 11.02: http://genode.org/documentation/release-notes/11.02 The new version is ready for download at our download page at Sourceforge and our public SVN repository: http://genode.org/download Best Regards -- Dr.-Ing.
