Genode OS Framework 18.02 released Feb 28, 2018

Genode 18.02 puts emphasis on package management, updated 3rd-party software, user-level networking, and the Nim programming language.

Genode's version 18.02 kicks off the Year of Sculpt with several features on account of the Sculpt system scenario. Most prominently, we added the ability to install, deploy, and update software packages on a running Genode system.

Further highlights are the experimental use of the Nim programming language for the implementation of Genode servers, a new tracing utility that makes Genode's existing tracing infrastructure much easier to use, improvements across the entire user-level networking stack, and updates of many 3rd-party software packages.

The release is described in full detail in the release documentation.
