Let's start the more detailed view with the **kernel** where we have the [huge ACPI revamp](https://github.com/redox-os/kernel/pull/48) done by [@CWood1](https://github.com/CWood1) which implements (among other things) a full fledged AML parser. Mr [@jackpot51](https://github.com/jackpot51) was busy improving the debugging code, implementing events on pipe (which in turn adds up to `mio`s crate support AKA: [this](https://gist.github.com/goyox86/5902f42988b91741bc12a42a6b5c78ed) small sample now works in Redox). He also fixed the mapping of TLS (which now page aligned) as well as improved error information and cleaned the interrupt macros.

On the **Ion** front [@glowing-chemist](https://github.com/glowing-chemist) added support for polish notation, also, and thanks to [@mmstick](https://github.com/mmstick) Ion now supports 8 color, 16 color, 256 color, and 24-bit colors. He also added support for the `$SWD` and `$MWD` environment variables. A new `exists` builtin was added by [@BafDyce](https://github.com/BafDyce) and [@nivkner](https://github.com/nivkner) made some refactoring on the `match` statements. But changes don't stop there, read the details and you will see that there is a lot of other interesting stuff ni there!

The **drivers** saw a bunch of updates and fixes mostly by [@jackpot51](https://github.com/jackpot51) who made some fixes to `pcid`, a change on `Intel8254x` network driver in order use a spin for reset instead of yielding along with the addition of a method for resizing display in `bgad`. He also disabled the `XHCI` driver due to lockups and removed some unused `extern crate`s statements.
