sub-projects: RT, NIL, HAL.
*** ChibiOS next highlights ****
This release is focused on RTOS general improvements, both RT and NIL received
a series of important new features.
*** ChibiOS next general improvements ***
- Rationalized source tree to reduce code duplication.
- Shared RTOS components, now allocators, mailboxes and binary semaphores
are usable by both RT and NIL.
- Shared ports architecture. Now RTOS ports work for both RT and NIL, no
more duplication.
- Enhanced shell.
*** What's new in RT 4.0.0 ***
- Common ports architecture.
- Ability to use the new shared RTOS components.
- Enhanced trace buffer, it is able to store events regarding not just threads
but also IRQs, halts and user events.
- Enhanced Registry, it is now possible to find threads by name or by pointer.
- Simplified the dynamic threading model, now it is the thread creator
responsible for memory release, the references counter has been removed
and the code is much simpler.
- New threading API, now creating static threads is even faster.
- Saved space in thread_t structure.
- Extended priority range to 1..255.
- Experimental NASA OSAL implementation.
*** What's new in HAL 4.1.0 ***
*** What's new in NIL 2.0.0 ***
