For those with access to Juno, this release can be used to examine the internals of the Android Open Source Project in a running system. Application developers, particularly those working in Java, will also be able to develop applications via the recently announced Android 'L' preview SDK.
-In this release, the focus has been on two major components: SELinux enabled boot and latest AOSP NDK built with Linaro tool chains.
+In this release, only the Juno firmware is updated to version 0.8.1, this improves clock settings for the HDLCD pixel clock, adds support for system shutdown/reset, fix for CPU Idle and other minor fixes.
The release contains Android ARMv8 optimizations for OpenSSL, LibPNG and BIONIC cortex C strings that were submitted by Linaro to AOSP. The release enables ART runtime as default in "compiler" mode. As part of our release validation we have observed a few standard benchmark and generic applications failing to run due to 64 bit compatibility of Android frameworks. The list is included as part of the test report to members. The other known issues and bugs found in this release are captured below.

-The SElinux feature is not enabled in the release by default, user can set the UEFI boot argument to enable SELinux.

-In order to use pre-built images from the release and boot Android with SELinux feature, the user can follow either of these options:
-
-a) Download the Android images with .tar extension on a ubuntu 14.04 host machine that includes the tar command with the --selinux option and use the linaro-android-media create utility to create the Android image.
-
-./linaro-image-tools/linaro-android-media-create --image_file mmc.img --dev vexpress --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2
-
-b) If the user does not have access to ubuntu 14.04 host machine, then download the files boot.tar.bz2, system.img, userdata.img and use the command linaro-android-media-create to create the Android image. The .img files are quite big in size compared to .tar files, so downloading these .img files might take considerable time.

+The SElinux feature is enabled in the release by default, user can also enable/disable SELinux using the UEFI boot arguments. To disable SELinux pass "selinux=0" as the boot parameter in the UEFI bootargs configuration.
