+Rust-based Redox OS 0.7.0 Arrives with Enhanced Hardware Support
+======
+Unix-like Redox OS 0.7.0 arrives with several improvements that focus on making it boot on the widest range of hardware.
+
+![redox os][1]
+
+While we continue to observe new releases of Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros at this time of the year, here’s something for a change.
+
+The one we’re highlighting here is—Redox OS, which focuses on stability and security. We [already covered an article back in 2016][2] during its early stages of development (if you are curious).
+
+Basically, it is Unix-based but a complete operating system. Moreover, it is entirely written from scratch using Rust—a popular memory-conscious programming language.
+
+The other major characteristic of Redox OS is that it adopts a microkernel design approach. This means a smaller size and use of basic functionalities when compared to the Linux monolithic kernel.
+
+### Redox OS 0.7.0: What’s New?
+
+The new release of [Redox OS][3] focuses on the very base of the OS and aims to extend hardware support. Let’s take a look at what this release brings.
+
+#### Improved Filesystem
+
+Redox includes a custom file system called RedoxFS which is also compatible with Linux.
+
+RedoxFS is now a Copy-on-Write filesystem and supports transparent encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) when hardware acceleration is available.
+
+#### Rewritten Bootloader
+
+The bootloader has been completely revised such that the UEFI and BIOS versions now use a common code.
+
+Additionally, the OS also shares the same driver code to improve security. This implies that the filesystem can be unlocked by the bootloader to encrypt and hash the kernel and initfs.
+
+#### Updates to the Microkernel
+
+The microkernel has undergone several fixes, changes, and alterations to improve performance and bring better hardware support.
+
+For instance, support for ARM (aarch64) and future compilers have been added.
+
+The kernel forces UTF-8 encoding to all system paths and makes use of acpid – the daemon used for power management.
+
+Packaging has also been improved since initfs is moved to a separate file.
+
+#### Other Features
+
+Redox OS includes an updated version of rustc – the Rust compiler – and relibc, the Rust-based C library, to improve software support, performance, and porting.
+
+You can also read the [official blog post][4] or its [GitLab page][5] to know more about the release.
+
+### Closing Thoughts
+
+It is important to note that Redox OS may not be a replacement for most, however, with the set of improvements planned for the future by the developer (*Jeremy Soller*), it can be a promising alternative.
+
+The developer also plans to come up with regular releases. So, it should be exciting to see what Redox OS has to offer in the near future.
