Genode OS Framework release 24.05 | 2024-05-30
##############################################
| The highlights of Genode 24.05 are the new ability to run Sculpt OS on
| our custom kernel, GDB on Sculpt OS, suspend/resume, the redesign of
| the framework's USB infrastructure, and the completed transition to
| the new audio interfaces. The release is accompanied with the annual
| update of the "Genode Foundations" book.
With Genode 24.05, the underpinnings of the many usability improvements
of the [https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-24.04 - latest] Sculpt OS
release found their way into the framework. Among them are a completely
redesigned USB infrastructure that allows for fine-grained and dynamic
assignment of USB devices to components and virtual machines, the consistent
use of the audio facilities introduced in February, and the driver life-cycle
management for suspend/resume.
Beside those usability-related topics, two mile-stone achievements stand out.
First, we have realized our long-time vision of running Sculpt OS on our
custom kernel specifically designed for Genode. With Intel virtualization
support, the release delivers the final missing piece of this puzzle.
Second, our long-hedged dream of natural on-target debugging via the GNU
debugger running directly on Sculpt OS has become true. This feature, which
has been in the works for more than a year, enables Sculpt OS users to
leverage GDB for the development of applications, services, and even device
drivers.
The release is accompanied by a new version of the "Genode Foundations" book,
which is the go-to documentation of the framework.
Further topics of the current release range from timing and network-throughput
optimizations, over updated 3rd-party software like Mesa, libSDL2, and cURL,
to developer tooling. Find these among many more topics covered in the detailed
