RTEMS 4.9.4 Released

The RTEMS Project is pleased to release 4.9.4. This is the fifth release from the 4.9 release series and is primarily a bug fix release. This is the second release to include test coverage reports and the first to include reports generated by the second generation of the analysis toolset. The reports are now function oriented and where available, include branch information. Note that at this point no simulator being used reports accurate branching information. Reports are included for x86, ARM, SPARC, and Coldfire here.
