Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a new release of the Barrelfish OS. Along
with various bug fixes, this release includes a new process manager,
driver support for the Mellanox ConnectX-3 NIC, and a new DSL called 
Sockeye for describing hardware.

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

Cheers,
-- Roni
