[Barrelfish-users] New Barrelfish Release

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a new release of the Barrelfish OS. Along with
various bug fixes, this release includes a new framework for interrupt
routing, improvements to the ARMv8 code, a new RPC framework based on tokens
that should fix longstanding issues with RPCs in multi-threaded domains, a
large amount of refactoring in the ARMv7 CPU driver along with support for
some more ARMv7 platforms, and a new per-domain CSpace layout.

The RPC work also removed support for arbitrary-length arrays in Flounder. Now
arrays have to have a maximum length specified in the Flounder interface
definition.

The ARMv7 refactoring has simplified the code for the CPU driver significantly
and we now support both Cortex A9 and A15.  We support TI OMAP 4460, Xilinx
Zynq 7000, ARM qemu emulating the Versatile Express board and the Zynq 7000,
and ARM's FVP models for Cortex A9 in single- and multi-core configuration.

The new CSpace layout does away with the guarded capability tables and
introduces a fixed two-level layout with a dynamically-sized first level table
(initially 16kB, 256 slots), and fixed-size 16kB, 256 slot second level
tables.

Additionally, a set of changes which make Ubuntu 16.04.x LTS the supported
build platform have been merged. The currently supported versions of the most
important compilers and tools are:
 * GCC 5.4.0 (for x86_64, armv7 and armv8)
 * GHC 7.10.3
 * binutils 2.26.1

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

Cheers,
-- Simon
