Genode OS Framework release 25.02 | 2025-02-28
##############################################
| Version 25.02 extends Genode's multi-monitor abilities to the
| window-management level and to virtual machines, features the ports of Qemu
| and the Chromium web engine version 112, boosts the graphics performance via
| SIMD optimizations, and brings Sculpt OS to the latest Intel Meteor-Lake
| Framework laptops as well as F&S MX8MP armStone hardware.
With Genode 25.02, we deliver the technical underpinnings for the next version
of Sculpt OS: An up-to-date web-browser engine, a profound window-management
solution designed for multi-monitor setups, refined framework interfaces
for treating individual directories as virtual file systems, and much
improved graphics performance by leveraging vector instructions on the 64-bit
ARM and x86 architectures.
Speaking of Sculpt OS, the framework extends the range of supported
hardware platforms to Intel Meteor Lake as used by the latest Framework
laptops, and adds F&S MX8MP armStone to the arsenal of ready-to-use
NXP i.MX-based boards.
Under the hood, Genode's custom microkernel received much love. Besides
maturing the kernel's x86 virtualization abilities, IOMMU IRQ protection is
now fully supported, the kernel advanced in terms of diagnostic aid for
developers, and gained performance.
Going up the stack, the steadily evolving Goa SDK unlocks the direct use
of 3rd-party software on Genode we could only dream about previously.
The best example is the fresh port of Qemu, which is a crucial tool
for the work of Genode's developers and has now become available in the
form of a Genode component.
