However, at this chance, we also included some new features to this release: * support for a new architecture: sh4; * CLOCK_HOST_REALTIME, a clock synchronized with Linux CLOCK_REALTIME clock, safe to be read when in primary mode; * new analogy drivers for NI 660x and NI 670x boards; * a simplified user-space configuration for the ARM architecture, where the default user-space libraries generated are no longer generated for only one SOC, without any loss of performance; * a simplified xeno-test script, which should now work more reliably, and is based on a "xeno-test-run" interpreter, which will allow to write different test scenarios; * the beginnings of a regression test suite; * a move of the rtdk library to the common "libxenomai" library, allowing to have printf being rt-safe when using the posix skin; * pkg-config support, each skin library is available as "libxenomai_skin" pkg-config package; * and the usual amount of upgrades and adeos patches to follow the linux kernel changes. Enjoy. -- Gilles.
