The Linux Foundation on Wednesday will release version 5.0 of its Carrier Grade Linux (CGL) specification. The specification covers capabilities such as more reliable file systems and security. CGL is intended to address a mature marketplace in which the demands on data transferred among networks has increased. A number of requirements have been dropped from the specification due to the mass adoption and ubiquity of CGL and its inclusion in the mainline Linux kernel. Also on Wednesday, the foundation will announce its Yocto Project Release 1.0, which provides common embedded Linux tools.”]
