At http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/xenomai/releases/ you will
find the latest release (1.0) of the Xenomai framework. Xenomai aims
at providing a toolbox that helps implementing real-time interfaces
and debugging real-time software on GNU/Linux. It also facilitates the
migration of applications based on traditional RTOS to Linux/RTAI
(http://www.rtai.org/) by providing API emulators running on top of
RTAI's HAL.

This is a major release including:

- A reworked nanokernel now exhibiting a threaded interrupt model.
Kernel mutexes have been introduced in order to reduce the interrupt
masking time due to critical section enforcement, especially inside
the real-time interfaces based on the nanokernel.
- The VxWorks, pSOS+ and VRTXsa API emulators.
- The initial implementation of an uITRON-compliant API.
- A virtual machine that allows debugging the real-time applications
in user-space using a RTOS-aware debugger.
- And of course a number of bug fixes in all parts of the framework.

A new disjunctive dual licensing scheme (GPL/Clarified Artistic
License) now applies to core parts of the Xenomai framework such as
the nanokernel and the real-time interfaces, so that embedded
application developers using the Xenomai APIs are free to distribute
their work under the license they see fit.  Details are available at
http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/xenomai/MANIFEST.

The main README file describing Xenomai features is available online
at http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/xenomai/README. Please refer
to the READMEs in the distribution for more in depth explanations.

Best regards,

Philippe.
