Genode OS Framework release 23.05 | 2023-05-31
##############################################
| Besides the annual documentation update, the scheduled tool-chain update,
| and the switch to C++20, the release puts the spotlight on the Goa tool,
| which enables the use of existing SDKs like Lomiri or Rust's cargo for
| targeting Genode.
By now, the dedication of Genode's May releases to housekeeping tasks has
become a fine tradition, and this year is no different. With version 23.05,
the framework consistently switches from the C++ standard C++17 to C++20,
thanks to our new tool chain based on GCC 12.3, which will serve us for the
next two years. Speaking of consistency, both Genode books "Foundations" and
"Platforms" have been updated to the most recent version of the framework. You
can find the PDFs at the [https://genode.org - genode.org front page].
Following the recent release of Sculpt OS 23.04 targeting both PC and mobile
platforms, Genode 23.05 brings good news for application developers interested
in targeting Genode and Sculpt OS in particular. The release introduces the
ability to use existing SDKs, in particular the Lomiri UI toolkit as well as
Rust's cargo for crafting Genode applications.
A prominent topic among the previous releases is our Linux device-driver
environment (DDE), which allows for the use of Linux drivers as Genode
components. The current release continues this line of work by upgrading DDE
to Linux 6.1.20 and by using DDE as enabler of our cross-platform Wifi stack
that works for the PC and ARM platforms like the PinePhone. This way, Genode
users can benefit from the enormous efforts of the Linux kernel community
targeting modern hardware.
Further highlights of the new version are the initial use of our custom
base-hw microkernel as x86 hypervisor, a profoundly reworked block-encryption
stack, and updates of supported 3rd-party software like the seL4 kernel and
VirtualBox.
All changes are covered in detail by the official
