RIOT-2018.10 - Release Notes ============================ RIOT is a multi-threading operating system which enables soft real-time capabilities and comes with support for a range of devices that are typically found in the Internet of Things: 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers as well as light-weight 32-bit processors. RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, soft real-time capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API access, independent of the underlying hardware (with partial POSIX compliance). RIOT is developed by an international open-source community which is independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community) and is licensed with a non-viral copyleft license (LGPLv2.1), which allows indirect business models around the free open-source software platform provided by RIOT. About this release: =================== The 2018.10 release includes new features, like CoAP Resource Directory and Block2, ESP32 support, rework of I2C interface, EEPROM registry, Full and Minimal Thread Devices support in OpenThread and compliance of LoRaWAN 1.0.2 (ABP counters stored in EEPROM). Several boards were introduced. During the last release the board documentation was migrated from the wiki to the [RIOT API documentation](https://doc.riot-os.org) to improve the maintenance of these entries and provide a better user experience when browsing the documentation. There were also some efforts in grouping some modules to make them easier to access in the documentation. There were also some efforts on refactoring, test improvements and bug fixes. About 392 pull requests with about 914 commits have been merged since the last release and about 20 issues have been solved. 57 people contributed with code in 100 days. Approximately 2184 files have been touched with 211964 insertions and 34806 deletions.

About this release:
===================
The 2018.07 release includes new features, like NimBLE (ble stack),
a MQTT-SN client, SHA-1 based PRNG, an UUID implementation. The RISC-V CPU
architecture support used by the hifive1 board.
Effort was done on refactoring, documentation, test improvements and bug fixes.
During the last release, maintainers contributed by running the automated test
suites on their boards. This gave valuable feedback on the board support state,
test reliability and where to focus effort to make testing easier and more
reliable.
About 380 pull requests with about 675 commits have been merged since the last
release and about 27 issues have been solved. 45 people contributed with code

About this release:
===================
The 2018.04 release includes major progress in support for current crypto
libraries. A lot of work has gone into updating drivers to RIOT's unified
configuration scheme. Support for ten new boards has been added. In our quest
to improve and automate testing, many test scripts have been fixed and
improved, and RIOT's CI now runs many tests on real hardware during its nightly
build testing. And as usual, many tiny fixes and improvements have been merged.
About 390 pull requests with about 1073 commits have been merged since the last
release and about 54 issues have been solved. 44 people contributed with code
in 98 days. Approximately 1491 files have been touched with 208426 insertions.
