14 Mar 2016 - Apache Mynewt V0.8 Beta 2
For full release notes, please visit the Apache Mynewt Wiki. For information about bugs fixed in beta 2, please view the Issue Tracker Summary
This is the first source release of the "New" Newt. More information on the genesis of Newt, and a description can be found here
As an early beta release of Newt, all the normal caveats apply:
-
APIs and commands may change without warning
-
There are definitely bugs hiding around many corners
However, the belief is that this version of Newt represents the going forward architecture of the Newt tool in Apache Mynewt. So people who are interested in playing around and using Newt, are encouraged to download and begin to evaluate it.
Future versions will add:
-
More robust package management and versioning
-
Plenty of helper commands for seeing what's installed, what's changed, and why things failed.
The next release of the Newt tool is planned for April 22nd, 2016. If working on next-generation build and source package management systems sounds exciting to you, get in touch, by sending a mail to the Apache Mynewt Developer's list, [email protected].
