Announcement: Sculpt OS version 24.10 released
by Norman Feske 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

[again, now with the correct subject] Hello everyone, it's my great pleasure to announce today's release of Sculpt OS 24.10: https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-24.10 The new version features the highly anticipated support for multiple monitors, which was quite a challenging feat. In fact, it required a far-reaching redesign of Genode's GUI stack to make applications multi-monitor-aware, ensure the visibility of the pointer at all times, avoid increased CPU load on account of serving multiple output devices, and propagate DPI information from each monitor's EDID information right down to the applications. With these technical questions cleared, the remaining challenge was making the new abilities available to the user via both a convenient interactive user interface - nicely embedded in Sculpt's component graph - as well as text-driven configuration. You can find the new facilities covered in the updated documentation: https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-24-10#Multi-monitor_support Besides the added multi-monitor support, the new version benefits from all advancements of the Genode OS Framework since April, specifically the updated arsenal of Linux-based drivers (Wifi, Ethernet, Intel display, USB) to version 6.6.47, and the uncountable new niceties of the Goa SDK. We just made the new version simultaneously available for Intel PCs, the PinePhone, and the MNT Reform laptop. Seasoned Sculpt OS users can readily switch to version 2024-10-30 using the system-update dialog. New users are invited to fetch a bootable system image from our download page. https://genode.org/download/sculpt Thanks to everyone of our team for having developed, stress-tested, and polished the release as a concerted effort!
