RIOT-2018.4 - 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 2018.04 release includes major progress in support for current crypto
|
||||
libraries. A lot of work has gone into updating drivers to RIOT's unified
|
||||
configuration scheme. Support for ten new boards has been added. In our quest
|
||||
to improve and automate testing, many test scripts have been fixed and
|
||||
improved, and RIOT's CI now runs many tests on real hardware during its nightly
|
||||
build testing. And as usual, many tiny fixes and improvements have been merged.
|
||||
|
||||
About 390 pull requests with about 1073 commits have been merged since the last
|
||||
release and about 54 issues have been solved. 44 people contributed with code
|
||||
in 98 days. Approximately 1491 files have been touched with 208426 insertions.
