Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the release of Solo5 0.4.1.

This release introduces experimental support for the Genode Operating System
Framework as a target for Solo5-based unikernels. Instructions for using
this target will be forthcoming from the Genode folks shortly once they are
ready.

The one other user-visible change is the addition of support for dropping
"root" privileges in the "hvt" tender on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. On OpenBSD
the tender is further deprivileged using pledge(2).

The Linux behaviour has not changed, we still recommend that you do
not run the tender as "root" but do not enforce this in any way. Whether or
not this will change is yet to be decided, please see
https://github.com/Solo5/solo5/issues/282 for discussion.

Other changes:

* Migrate OPAM integration to OPAM 2.

Acknowledgements:

Thanks to the following new contributors to this release:

* Emery Hemingway
* Stefan Grundmann

Enjoy,

-mato
