    RELEASE 2020.10
    
    RIOT-2020.10 - 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 2020.07 release puts a focus on the improvement of automated testing. In
    that vein, various new CI integrations such as CircleCI for documentation
    building and online presentation, and Github Actions to check the tooling of
    RIOT when merged. The `riotctrl_shell` python module allows to abstract shell
    commands as python methods for testing using the newly created `riotctrl`
    python package [1]. Kconfig migration reached phase 2 with various board
    features being exposed to Kconfig. New network protocols were ported for RIOT
    such as MQTT (in form of the `paho-mqtt` package) and the lookup client
    component for CoRE RD `cord_lc`. The OpenWSN network stack with 6TiSCH support
    was reintegrated into RIOT. Support for several new boards and new sensors was
    added. Additionally, this release contains a number of bug fixes and test
    improvements.

    RIOT-2020.04 - 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.

    RIOT-2020.01 - 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 2020.01 release includes:
    
     - Initial support for MicroPython
     - Initial support for GNRC based LoRaWAN stack
     - Initial (experimental) asynchronous sock support
     - Extend support for lpc2387 and fe310 cpus

     - Improvements in automatic tests
     - Introduce and start using Kconfig as a configuration tool
     - +12 new boards, +7 new drivers, +4 new packages
    
    About 527 pull requests, composed of 1367 commits, have been merged since the
    last release, and about 29 issues have been solved. 61 people contributed with
    code in 111 days. Approximately 3053 files have been touched with 134416 (+)
    insertions and 31870 deletions (-).
