Announcement: Sculpt OS 23.10 released

[Norman Feske]

Hello,

it is my pleasure to announce the release of Sculpt OS 23.10:

The highlight is certainly the new ability to fine-tune physical CPU 
parameters via an interactive user interface, which is especially useful 
on modern laptops that offer plenty of monitoring and power-management 
options. As described in the following article, one can watch CPU 
temperatures and frequencies, dynamically adjust performance profiles, 
unveil the differences between Intel's P&E cores, and even observe the 
power draw.

Besides this most prominent feature, the new version benefits from 
Genode's advances during the past 6 months. E.g., the former iPXE-based 
network driver has been replaced by a current Linux driver, the entire 
software is now consistently built with GCC 12.3, and Sculpt's runtime 
is now driven by the new monitor runtime paving the ground towards 
on-target debugging.

We made the new version readily available for both PCs and the 
PinePhone. The latter benefits from several usability improvements such 
as a screensaver conserving battery power, various UI tweaks, and 
functional volume buttons.

Users of Sculpt 23.04 can switch to the new version via the built-in 
system-update dialog. New users can find ready-to-use disk images at the
Sculpt download page.

As you may have noticed on the mailing list, Sculpt 23.10 is the first 
version that was preceded by several release candidates (RC). Thanks to 
everyone who gave the RCs a spin. The official release greatly benefited 
from your feedback!

Cheers
Norman
