RIOT-2017.04 - Release Notes
|
||||
============================
|
||||
RIOT is a multi-threading operating system which enables soft real-time
|
||||
capabilities and comes with support for a range of devices that are typically
|
||||
found in the Internet of Things: 8-bit microcontrollers, 16-bit
|
||||
microcontrollers and light-weight 32-bit processors.
|
||||
|
||||
RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, soft
|
||||
real-time capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API
|
||||
access, independent of the underlying hardware (with partial POSIX compliance).
|
||||
|
||||
RIOT is developed by an international open-source community which is
|
||||
independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community) and is
|
||||
licensed with a non-viral copyleft license (LGPLv2.1), which allows indirect
|
||||
business models around the free open-source software platform provided by RIOT.
|
||||
|
||||
About this release:
|
||||
===================
|
||||
This release provides a lot of new features, fixes and enhancements. Among
|
||||
these has been a huge cleanup regarding cppcheck and documentation, and we're
|
||||
pleased to announce that all remaining doxygen and cppcheck warnings have been
|
||||
fixed. We're also proud to present a Virtual File System layer and integration
|
||||
of the SPIFFS file system. A lot of work has gone into support for
|
||||
STMicroelectronics's Nucleo family, with RIOT now supporting 28 (up from 13)
|
||||
Nucleo boards. And as always, there was a lot of under-the-hood cleanup, bug
|
||||
fixing and documentation work.
|
||||
|
||||
About 200 pull requests with about 562 commits have been merged since the last release and about 23
|
||||
issues have been solved. 32 people contributed with code in 91 days. 2697 files have been touched with
|
||||
716950 insertions and 492623 deletions.
