Brief round table:
ML
--
* Continuous work on improving the support for the BeagleBoard and
BeagleBone devices
* WIP: User space serial port driver (almost complete) which should
enable the user space console natively (skipping any intermediate
phases of using the kernel kconsole drivers in user space)
JZ
--
* Defended his bachelor thesis (Improved VFS design)
* Plans to cleanup and integrate the Go language run-time into the
mainline (see RFC in the mailing list), as self-motivation permits
* Nobody expressed any major objections, except that the critical
system tasks should stay in C for now (JS) and that the run-time
support libraries should reside in a common subtree, say
uspace/runtime/go (MD)
MS
--
* Defended his master thesis (Continuous integration)
* Plans to integrate some of the results of the thesis, as time permits
VH
--
* Resurrected the support for clang, fixed some compiler warnings
reported by clang (some still remain)
* Fixed Python 3 compatibility of the build scripts
* POSIX library improvements, different method of avoiding symbol name
clashes, preparation for GCC (headers, stubs)
* WIP: Toolchain variant tailored for HelenOS
({ia64|mips32|*}-helenos) that should ease next porting steps
MD
--
* Continuous work on IPC interfaces and ports (still not ready for
merging)
* Gradual cherrypicking of a prototype IPv6 implementation developed
by Antonin Steinhauser as part of his master thesis
* Original code against the 0.5.0 release (thus ignoring some
important improvements in the mainline and not ready for merging)
* Current mainline status: IPv6 addresses and most building blocks
already in place, a basic working support for IPv6 is only a few
bugs and missing pieces away (particularly the NDP code)
