Genode OS Framework release 23.11 | 2023-11-30
##############################################
| Genode 23.11 moves the IOMMU driver from the kernel to the user land,
| introduces CPU power/temperature/frequency monitoring and steering,
| comes with a new API for low-complexity GUI applications, and
| streamlines the framework's virtualization interface. It also improves
| developer ergonomics and showcases the port of the Linphone VoIP stack.
Version 23.11 of the Genode OS Framework introduces DMA protection as
kernel-agnostic feature, parting with the tradition of driving I/O protection
units from the kernel. This radical move is accompanied by a sweeping
modernization of the framework's virtualization interface across kernels and
instruction-set architectures. In other words, the release is dominated by
deeply technical topics.
That said, it is not void of user-facing features either, as illustrated by
the new port of the Linphone VoIP stack using the Goa tool, the extension of
the Seoul virtual machine monitor to 64-bit guests, and the support for CPU
power/temperature/frequency monitoring and steering on PC platforms.
Furthermore, developers receive better tooling for the use and distribution of
debug builds, and will observe a welcomed boost of their development-test
cycles thanks to a largely streamlined build-system.
These and more topics are covered in full detail by the
