Dear all,
the HelenOS team is proud to announce the immediate availability of
HelenOS 0.5.0 [1], the next major release of our microkernel multiserver
operating system. The 0.5.0 release is codenamed Fajtl, in honour of
Lieutenant General FrantiĊĦek Fajtl [2], a Royal Air Force fighter pilot
from the World War II.
This major release delivers many improvements that have been developed
in our mainline branch since March 2011, including the deliverables from
GSoC 2011 [3]. Some of the noteworthy new features are USB support,
reimplemented networking stack with full TCP support and new network
drivers (including Realtek RTL8139 and Intel E1000), read-only ext2 and
ISO 9660 file system support, read-write MINIX FS support and several
ported applications (GNU Binutils, PCC, MSIM). For a complete list of
user-visible changes, see the release notes [4]. The release files can
be downloaded from the download page [1].
