This release includes one new, important +extension to th NX graphics system (See http://www.nuttx.org/NXGraphicsSubsystem.html). + +NX was develop a couple years back on hardware that supported only framebuffer +devices, that is, video hardware with video memory directly converts the memroy +content to video.
