[Barrelfish-users] New Barrelfish Release

[Simon Gerber]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a new release of the Barrelfish OS. Along
with the usual various bug fixes, this release includes a new
way of tracking virtual-to-physical mappings in the kernel, as well as an
update of newlib (our C library) and Doug Lea's malloc (dlmalloc), and ports
of a line editing library (linenoise, https://github.com/antirez/linenoise), a
multi-precision integer library (tommath,
https://github.com/libtom/libtommath), and clang's C runtime (compiler-rt).

As always, you can get the latest version by cloning or pulling from our
git repository [1].

Cheers,
-- Simon
