Genode OS Framework release 18.11 | 2018-11-29
##############################################
| Genode 18.11 is focused on improving quality assurance on various fronts,
| including static code analysis, on-target test orchestration, and
| code-coverage measurements. Furthermore, it introduces support for Mirage-OS
| unikernels, a new health-monitoring mechanism, a Genode SDK, an SSH server,
| and a new window layouter.
On our road map for 2018, we identified software quality and resilience
as one of the major topics for this year. With the current release, we fulfil
this promise on various levels, ranging from static code analysis, over
the gathering of test-coverage metrics, a new Genode-based test-automation
framework, over to the health monitoring of components at runtime.
The second theme of the current release is the use of Genode for network
appliances and server applications. On that account, the new ability of
hosting Mirage-OS unikernels directly on top of Genode as well as a new SSH
server component clear the way to entirely new application areas.
Further highlights of the current release are the enhanced flexibility of the
GUI stack of Sculpt OS, the increased network performance on Xilinx Zynq, the
initial version of a Genode SDK, performance improvements of the base-hw
kernel on NXP i.MX platforms, and the updated language support for Ada and
Java.
These and many more topics of the new version are covered by the
