Project ACRN documentation
##########################

Welcome to the Project ACRN (version |version|) documentation.  ACRN is
a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor, built with real-time and
safety-criticality in mind, optimized to streamline embedded development
through an open source platform.

.. comment Add back this note if we need to redirect users to a more stable
   release.
   The latest version of ACRN is currently under construction. If necessary, visit ACRN `version 1.5 <https://projectacrn.github.io/1.5/>`_ to view the last stable build.

.. comment The links in this grid display can't use :ref: because we're
   using raw html.  There's a risk of broken links if referenced content is
   moved.
