##############################################
| Genode 19.08 puts emphasis on practical concerns ranging from
| keyboard layouts, over system-time management, to remote system
| administration. It also continues our commitment to the 64-bit ARM
| i.MX8 SoC, comes with Qt5 version 5.13, and improves POSIX compatibility.

Besides the practical focus, the new release continues our commitment to the
64-bit ARM i.MX8 platform through new kernel support, device drivers, and test
coverage. Further topics include SMBIOS support for commodity PC hardware, a
new tracing tool, enhanced POSIX compatibility, and a major update of Qt5 to
version 5.13.
