Report for 2018-11-01 to 2018-11-30

This report covers the development in the linuxkit/linuxkit linuxkit/lcow linuxkit/kubernetes linuxkit/virtsock linuxkit/rtf linuxkit/homebrew-linuxkit repositories. There were 148 contributions (PRs/Issues/Comments) from 22 individual contributors. 20 new PRs were opened and 14 PRs were merged. 4 new issues were opened and 6 issues were closed.

Along the regular kernel updates, WireGuard was updated to 0.0.20181119 and the -rt kernel to 4.14.78-rt47. The LinuxKit tool was extended to create uncompressed kernels (which can be used with crosvm and the recently announced Firecracker VMM).

We created another pre-release of linuxkit/lcow (v4.14.35-v0.3.9) to accommodate newer versions of Docker and Windows.

We also added a new ADOPTERS.md file to track where LinuxKit is used. Please submit PRs to add your use case if it is missing.
