The new version comes with new +tools and build-system improvements, which make the porting and use of such +3rd-party software easier than ever and pave the ground to scale +Genode-based systems far beyond the current state. + +The second focus of the release cycle was the enhancement of the platform +support for NOVA on the x86 architecture and for our custom +kernel on the ARM architecture. The latter received multi-processor +support and a new memory management concept. For NOVA, we enabled the use of +real-time priorities and continued our line of work with running VirtualBox +on this kernel by adding support for guest additions such as file systems +shared between Genode and the guest OS. + +Furthermore, we added a new component for block-level encryption +based on NetBSD's cryptographic device driver and enabled USB 3.0 on +x86-based platforms. + +More information about all the changes is provided in our detailed +[http:/documentation/release-notes/14.05 - release documentation of version 14.05...] + + + An Exploration of ARM TrustZone Technology | 2014-04-10 #######################################################
