Additionally, this release adds improvements for documentation, testing, and build
20-
infrastructure (including use of 3rd-party compilers and build support for Windows
21-
and OS X environments).

We have introduced support for the RISC V and Xtensa architectures and now
20+
support 6 architectures in total.
21+
22+
Device tree support for ARM based boards added. The initial
23+
device tree support includes flash/sram base address and UART devices. Board
24+
support includes NXP Kinetis based SoCs, ARM Beetle, TI CC3200 LaunchXL, and
25+
STML32L476 based SoCs. Plan is to add support for other architectures and
26+
expand device support in upcoming Zephyr releases.

* Introduction of k_poll API: k_poll() is similar to the POSIX poll() API in
35+
spirit in that it allows a single thread to monitor multiple events without
36+
actively polling them, but rather pending for one or more to become ready.
37+
* Optimized memory use of some thread fields
38+
* Remove usage of micro/nano kernel terminology from kernel code and introduced
39+
a legacy option to enable/disable legacy APIs. (using legacy.h)
