19- 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).
19+ 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.

34+ * 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)
