Happy 30th birthday, GNU! GNU Mach 1.4 released
Hi! It is the GNU project's 30th birthday, and we are pleased to announce version 1.4 of GNU Mach, the GNU distribution of the Mach microkernel, http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/mach/gnumach.html. GNU Mach is the microkernel upon which a GNU Hurd system is based. It provides an Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanism that the Hurd uses to define interfaces for implementing in a distributed multi-server fashion the services a traditional operating system kernel provides. GNU Mach runs on 32-bit x86 machines. A version running on 64-bit x86 (x86_64) machines is in progress. Volunteers interested in ports to other architectures are sought; please contact us (see below) if you'd like to help. This new release bundles bug fixes and enhancements done since the release of version 1.3, eleven years ago; really too many (both years and improvements) to list them individually, please see the NEWS file, http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/gnumach.git/tree/NEWS?id=v1.4. Many thanks to all the people who are helping! As soon as upload issues have been resolved, it may be downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnumach/, or already now be checked out of Git, http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/gnumach.git/.

Happy 30th birthday, GNU! GNU MIG 1.4 released
Hi! It is the GNU project's 30th birthday, and we are pleased to announce version 1.4 of GNU MIG, the GNU distribution of the Mach 3.0 Interface Generator (MIG), http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/mach/mig/gnu_mig.html. This tool translates Remore Procedure Call (RPC) definition files to C code, and is required to compile any packages that are receiving or invoking RPCs, such as GNU Mach, GNU Hurd, and the GNU C Library (glibc) when compiled for the Hurd.
