notes

This release adds aiju’s games/timmy, a physics simulation game and a bignum calculator for programmers called pc.

On the system side, we got a fast portable /dev/random now which is based on the chacha stream cipher - carefully seeded once at boot time. Cipher states for the rng and other kernel crypto services is now kept in a separate memory pool which devproc will prohibit access to and which automatically destroys the data on free.
