Sculpt OS 24.10 and Genode release 24.11 Nov 29, 2024

With Genode 24.11, the framework's GUI stack becomes ready for the next decade. The many advancements such as multi-monitor support and atomic screen updates are already present in the most current Sculpt OS version 24.10.

We are keeping up with the bi-annual release cycle of our Genode- based Sculpt operating system. End of October, we proudly announced the release of version 24.10, which puts the spotlight at multi- monitor support. Just this week, we followed up with the first version of Sculpt OS for the Open-Hardware MNT Pocket-Reform laptop.

Being the underpinning of Sculpt OS, it is no big surprise that multi-monitor support is one of the highlights of Genode 24.11, released end of last week. In fact, the use of multiple displays is just one facet of the far-reaching overhaul of the framework's GUI stack.

The second highlight is the first edition of a new book about application development for Genode and Sculpt OS in particular. The book "Applications" is now available as a free download at https://genode.org.

Hardware-wise, the release updates all Linux-based drivers for the i.MX family to version 6.6, ultimately enabling Sculpt OS on the MNT Pocket Reform laptop. For the enjoyment of the full story, please head towards the official release documentation.
