"An early preview of the next version has been released under version number 3.1.3, an interim release intended for developers who want to see the bleeding edge of MINIX and perhaps then track the current source. For more information, see the 3.1.3 release notes and the download page." MINIX3 will now also release weekly snapshots.

"Mr Tanenbaum still deserves credit for engineering an architecture that makes bug-free programming and porting simpler by design."
Actually, it turns out that microkernels are notoriously hard to debug (debugging an async kernel is much harder than a heavily threaded one), and that's the reason microkernel projects have such slow progress. Even RMS admitted this as the primary reason why Linux prevailed and GNU/Hurd didn't.
