Redox OS 0.6.0

Redox is a UNIX-like open-source operating system written in Rust.

Changes in 0.6:

  • The memory manager rmm has been rewritten. This has eliminated memory leaks in the kernel that became a serious problem with the previous memory manager. Support for multi-core processors has also become more stable.

  • Many contributions from students Redox OS Summer of Code were included in this release. This includes work on ptrace, strace, gdb, disk partitioning, logging, io_uring, etc.

  • The standard library has been redesigned with relibc for greater compatibility with applications.

  • A new package format pkgar, which is faster than the old tar format.

  • The collection of package examples has been updated: cookbook

  • A lot of time in preparing for this release was spent adapting the code to breaking changes in Rust Nightlies, where the design of the asm macro was changed. Other issues also prevented developers from releasing. They hope that new versions will now be released more frequently. (The previous release 0.5 was: March 24, 2019.)
