Genode OS Framework release 8.11

The lads from Genode OS bring us a new version of their Operating System Framework.
From the announcement:

We are pleased to announce the release 8.11 of the Genode OS Framework introducing a new device-driver API, a C runtime, support for asynchronous notifications, and many improvements of the base API.

With the new release 8.11, we are aiming at enabling Genode for real-world applications that require custom device drivers and the reuse of existing code. Among the major improvements are a new device driver API that eases the reuse of existing device drivers and a C runtime that facilitates the reuse of a wealth of existing C library code on Genode. Furthermore, we extended the base API by a number of exciting feature such as support for asynchronous notifications, capability typification, and managed dataspaces.

Genode ported to Syllable Server OS

I'm a little late with this news, but hey, it's a news worth mentioning.

As announced on the website of the Syllable OS project, Genode has been ported to the server version of Syllable OS. Kaj de Vos of the Syllable project also considers the incorporation of Genode into the desktop version of Syllable, which would be a very interesting synergy.

Maybe this will speed up the development of Syllable OS.
