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 +[https:/documentation/release-notes/23.11 - release documentation of version 23.11...] + + Sculpt OS release 23.10 | 2023-10-26 ####################################
