[Tinyos-devel] TinyOS 2.0 released

[Philip Levis]

The TinyOS Alliance is pleased to announce the release of TinyOS 2.0  
(T2). This release includes several advancements over prior beta  
releases, including optimized resource management, a highly reliable  
collection layer, an experimental low-power CC2420 stack, redesigned  
storage stacks based on community feedback, and improved  
documentation, including notes on how to port TinyOS 1.x code to T2.

The goal of this release is to provide a core robust, well- 
documented, extensible, and well-designed operating system for  
sensornet applications. One of the major intentions of this design  
and its documentation is to lower the barrier of entry to building  
sensornet applications and contributing to TinyOS.

This release is one of the first steps of the now-forming TinyOS  
Alliance, a non-profit group of interested researchers, academics,  
and developers. In the next few weeks, there will be posts on  
tinyos.net and here on the mailing lists about the formation of new  
Working Groups, the institution of the "contrib" module for T2 code  
contributions, the T2 bug tracking process, and, most of all, how you  
can be involved.
