Redox OS 0.3.5 Released With New Network Stack & Better Security
For all the fans out there of the Rust programming language and/or micro-kernels, a new version of Redox OS is now available, the Rust-written from-scratch OS.
As the first release since last October's Redox OS 0.3.4, the Redox OS 0.3.5 release is now available. This update is quite prominent for introducing a new network stack for the operating system as well as bettering the security, adding a new web browser, ACPI power improvements, and more.
Smolnetd appears to be the new networking stack that replaces ethernetd/dhcpd/udpd/tcpd and friends.
Redox OS 0.3.5 can be found for download from GitHub. Hopefully soon it will be time to begin trying some benchmarks on this Rust-written, modern open-source OS.
