[Barrelfish-users] New Barrelfish Release

[Simon Gerber]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a new release of the Barrelfish OS. Along
with various bug fixes, this release includes improved functionality for
in-domain RPCs, more work on the ARMv8 port, and improvements to the device
queue interface.

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

Cheers,
-- Simon
