The Fiasco microkernel started as a reimplementation of the L4 Version 2 API specification. Back then, the only existing implementation was a closed source assembly kernel written by Jochen Liedtke. Michael Hohmuth and other implemented the L4 Version 2 API from scratch and using C++ as programming language.

Starting around 2003 the strict adherence to the L4 Version 2 API was softened and new features and other API implementations were added to Fiasco.

In 2007 the actually supported API of Fiasco was too disjunct with the Version 2 API, so Fiasco received its own API name which is L4.Fiasco.
