2019-02-15 Thread Alexandre Abadie
Dear RIOTers,

we are happy to announce the 18th official release of RIOT:

--- * RIOT 2019.01 * ---

The 2019.01 release includes a number of new features including DMA support on
all STM32 boards, WiFi with IP connectivity on ESP32 and ESP8266, and riotboot,
a simple bootloader supporting multiple firmware slots, compatible with most Arm
Cortex-M boards supported by RIOT. Support for several new boards and new 
sensors
was added, as well as for the new CPU architecture Armv8-M (Cortex-M23). Last
but not least, this release contains a number of bug fixes and enhances test
automation.

About 387 pull requests with about 912 commits have been merged since the last
release and about 36 issues have been solved. 54 people contributed with code
in 110 days. Approximately 1554 files have been touched with 176241 insertions
and 50593 deletions.

You can download the RIOT release from Github by cloning the repository
and checkout the release tag [1] or by downloading the tarball [2], and

A big thank you to everybody who contributed!

Best regards,

[riot-devel] Release 2019.01 feature freeze

2019-01-25 Thread Alexandre Abadie
Dear RIOTers,

We've created the 2019.01 release branch, so we are now officially in
feature freeze. This means from now only bugfixes will be backported to
the `2019.01-branch`.

New features can still be merged into master during this period.

The tracking issue of Release candidate 1 [1] is opened.
If you want to perform some manual tests, please put your name on the 
corresponding items.
Tasks 01 and 02 will be done automatically.

Thanks all for the awesome work!

Best regards,

Alex & Emmanuel
