Some highlights from this release:

* Application framework running in containers

* Platform guide

A new guide explains what the Apertis platform is, what it offers and what are the benefits of its approach:

* Release branching improvements

To make the release process as quick and reliable as possible, the branching process has been defined more clearly and it is now largely automated.

* Inter-domain communications

The inter-domain communications design now has some provisions for sharing large amount of static data as bulk transfers, such as firmware updates or map data for offline navigation.
