Sculpt OS release 23.04 | 2023-04-28
####################################
| Sculpt OS 23.04 marks the first-time PinePhone support in addition to the PC
| version. With this release, the system supports live upgrades of the boot
| image, rendering Sculpt updates and switching between versions a matter some
| easy steps. The new preset feature brings entire application scenarios to
| your screen after just one click/tap.
With the fresh release 23.04, the Sculpt operating system boards the PinePhone
to explore the mobile world and, thereby, adds a second platform to its
year-long support for Intel PCs. In preparation, we added two key features to
Genode during the past months, which are the phone-oriented Sculpt
user-interface variant and the system-update functionality. Now, Sculpt
versions can be switched by three easy steps directly in the integrated user
interface: downloading system images to the software depot, install the
desired version on the boot medium, and reboot the device.
Further, the release supports so-called presets in the system menu UI, which
are entire runtime scenarios. The user can load and switch between presets by
just one click. Presets currently available in Sculpt are a simple GUI demo
(nano3d), a simple desktop including background picture and window manager,
and a ready to use Falkon web browser. Still, components can be integrated
into the system (or the currently running preset) by the + menu of the
component graph.
Sculpt OS 23.04 for PC and PinePhone is available as ready-to-use system image
at the [https://genode.org/download/sculpt - Sculpt download page] accompanied
with updated [https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-23-04 - documentation].
