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.
