I am happy to announce the release of Genode 24.02 today.
https://genode.org/news/genode-os-framework-release-24.02
It is safe to say that the release cycle was dominated by infrastructure topics that clear the way for addressing the usability topics on our road map. For example, the new version dissolves a major road block for suspend/resume, namely the suspend-cycle awareness of drivers. It also lays the groundwork for the flexible and robust routing and mixing of audio signals. We are also celebrating the wrapped-up transition to our modern Linux device-driver environment by replacing our dated Linux-based TCP/IP stack to a new port based on DDE-Linux 6.1.20.
The wealth of infrastructural topics notwithstanding, the new version also brings exciting news for application developers who can now use the Goa SDK to casually target Sculpt OS as a remote test target.
Summary of improvements:
- Revised audio infrastructure - Sculpt OS as remote test target for Goa SDK - TCP/IP based on DDE-Linux 6.1.20 - Suspend/resume awareness of GPU, AHCI, NVMe drivers - Improved human-interface device handling - Multi-client use of Vivante GPUs - De-privileged light-weight event tracing
