OSv Release 0.17

We are pleased to announce the release of OSv 0.17 Release. Please note this is not the Beta release, which is only available via registration

Release 0.17 is focused on bug fixes, a few samples below:

• Capstan build hangs during the upload files stage - make sure to get the latest Capstan version.
• keyboard and terminal related bugs
• shutdown process bugs solved

A new architecture feature is the use of HTTP server plugins. HTTP plugins allows application specific REST API, for example JVM APIs, to be included only when required. Building a more application specific API is now easier, contributions are welcome!
