<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for that partial clarification. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Based on your reply, would it be correct to say:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) The API for the Pistachio branch is frozen and is at the end of development, including maintenance and bug fixes?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) The API for OKL4 development which originally followed Pistachio has now diverged enough that developers should</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> make a decision whether to migrate to OKL4?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) That further processor architecture support</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>will occur only on the OKL4 development branch?</FONT></DIV>

OKL4, while a descendent of Pistachio, is an independent<BR>system now. I think it's fair to say that any API development on<BR>L4Ka::Pistachio is minimal at the moment, while OKL4 is evolving<BR>rapidly. Its present (and past) API is well-documented on<BR>okl4.org.<BR><BR>There are no plans of merging the two together.<BR><BR>Gernot<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
