Great news.

I’ve just released first release candidate of 0.21. It’s connected with two final improvements: new locking subsystem, that seems to work great, and new keys handler, that doesn’t eat CPU anymore, which has made StreamOS faster and more responsive.

v0.21-rc1 (comparing to v0.2) has got:

1. new locking subsystem, based on spinlocks;
2. new keys handler;
3. more parallel threads in kernel;
4. improved debug;
5. improved init;
6. improved logging in process;
7. new userspace application cat;
8. readable config files;
9. redesigned modules subsystem;
10. new official logo;
11. tons of bugfixes;
12. and more…
