Earlier today, Tizen, Intel's
post-MeeGo mobile OS, announced the
availability of their first stable release. The H has a
summary of the new features: "The source code for Tizen's Larkspur release has seen a number of new features added. The Web capabilities have now got full W3C/HTML5 specification support with 'key'
WebRTC features incorporated and APIs to access the local camera and vibration. ... Tizen's graphics are based on X11 with a compositing window manager based on
Enlightenment Foundation Libraries ... The SDK's IDE includes a new browser based tool which offers support for the Tizen APIs within a browser; this should allow developers to run and debug Tizen 'web applications' and see how those applications run with various device profiles. The alpha release of the browser based simulator should reduce the need to work with the emulator for many applications." The
SDK release notes and
source release notes have the gritty details. A new
community wiki has been created, and
source is available via git. This release comes just before the
first Tizen developer conference, May 7-9th in San Francisco.
