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 +[https:/documentation/release-notes/18.11 - release documentation of version 18.11...] + + Dual licensing of 3rd-party Genode components | 2018-11-16 ##########################################################
