Ironclad - Summary
This group is not part of the GNU Project.
Ironclad is a partially formally verified kernel with a small footprint for general-purpose and embedded OSes, written in SPARK and Ada. It is made to be 100% free software, free in the sense that it respects the user's freedom.
Some of the supported features are:
- A familiar POSIX-compatible interface.
- True simultaneous multitasking.
- Resiliency and small footprint.
- Partial gold-level formal verification.
- Advanced cryptography and a security-centered architecture, including Mandatory Access Control (MAC).
- Hard real-time scheduling and real-time oriented features.
- Support for severals architectures and boards.

I've acquired https://ironclad.cx, my intention with that domain is to use it as the main website of the project, with mirrors for the project's repos and other tools, and maybe a mail server, imitating kernel.org.
Those services will be rolled out slowly, as I am not the best with web stuff, I will learn that slowly, for now, it will

This release brings a lot of improvements on almost all subsystems of the kernel.
This is a non-exhaustive list of the big changes included in this release:
- Formally verified big chunks of architecture-independent code for AoRTE, SPARKified what was not verified.
