Genode OS Framework release 24.02 | 2024-02-29
##############################################
| Version 24.02 revisits Genode's audio support for latency-sensitive
| scenarios, flexible sample rates, and pluggable drivers. It also introduces
| the new ability of the Goa SDK to use Sculpt OS as remote test target,
| comes with a new TCP/IP stack based on Linux 6.1.20, makes drivers aware
| of suspend/resume, and improves HID event handling.
Genode 24.02 kicks off the year with a profound redesign of the framework's
audio infrastructure, addressing the routing and mixing of multi-channel audio
streams at flexible sample rates, the dynamic starting and removal of audio
sources and sinks, and latency optimization.
Besides audio, the second infrastructural rework is a new TCP/IP stack based
on DDE-Linux 6.1.20. It wraps up our long-year transition from a fairly
fragmented landscape of ported driver code to the consistent use of our modern
Linux device-driver environment across all Linux-based drivers and protocol
stacks.
The feature highlight of the release is the new ability of using Sculpt OS as
a remote test target for the Goa SDK during application development. Thanks
to this new feature, Genode applications can be developed and tested in a
quick and uniform way, whether testing directly on a Linux-based development
environment, or on a Sculpt PC reachable via a local network, or a PinePhone
connected to the same wireless access point.
Further highlights of the release are the versatile handling of human-interface
devices including the calibration of motion events, the use of Vivante GPUs by
multiple clients, and the driver-related preparatory steps needed for
implementing suspend/resume for Sculpt OS.
