Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a new release of the Barrelfish OS. Along with
various bug fixes, this release includes functional user space for Barrelfish
on ARMv8, albeit without multi core support, a modified network stack which
uses the device queue interface, and an API to store capabilities in the
system knowledge base (SKB).

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

Cheers,
-- Simon
