RIOT-2020.04 - Release Notes
============================
RIOT is a multi-threading operating system which enables soft real-time
capabilities and comes with support for a range of devices that are typically
found in the Internet of Things: 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers as well as
light-weight 32-bit processors.
RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, soft
real-time capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API
access, independent of the underlying hardware (with partial POSIX compliance).
RIOT is developed by an international open-source community which is
independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community) and is
licensed with a non-viral copyleft license (LGPLv2.1), which allows indirect
business models around the free open-source software platform provided by RIOT.
About this release:
===================
The 2020.04 release includes:
- Add support for 6LoWPAN IPv6 extension header next header compression
- Add support for DHCPv6 prefix delegation client
- Add support for kw41zrf and at86rf215 IEEE 802.15.4 radios
- Improvements on power management for ESP32
- Improvements and extensions in support of fe310 and lpc2387
- lwIP: provide support for asynchronous sock
- Improvements on xtimer module and testing
- Initial addition of the new timer subsystem: ztimer
- Migration to Kconfig - phase I: add multiple GNRC and system modules
- +10 new boards, +11 new drivers, +7 new packages
555 pull requests, composed of 1514 commits, have been merged since the
last release, and 22 issues have been solved. 60 people contributed with
code in 102 days. 3346 files have been touched with 358398 (+) insertions and
