   * Integrate support for the [https://github.com/jxsvoboda/sycek Sycek] C style checker into the build system. Sycek helps to make HelenOS source code nice and tidy, and in some cases can even spot real bugs. Run either with `make ccheck` or as part of `make check`.
   * Basic build tests executed with each commit via Travis CI
+  * Kernel console improvements:
+     * Kernel output is now mirrored to the serial port by default on x86[_64] platforms. This is complemented by `tools/ew.py` connecting serial port to console stdio by default (can be overridden using `-noserial`, see below).
+     * Kernel console output printed from user tasks via `kio_printf()` facility is now prefixed with the identity of the source, and some effort is made to prevent splitting of lines.
+     * When an assertion fails in a user task, the full report is printed to kernel console before an attempt is made to print it via regular channels.
