On the one hand, +it features the results of our year-long effort of unifying and simplifying +the framework's device-driver infrastructure across all base platforms, which +subjects the interaction of driver components with device hardware to an +unprecedentedly rigid regime of least privilege. This makes Genode-based +systems ever more dependable and clear. + +The role of Genode as a playground for innovation is embodied by the +combination of the framework with reconfigurable hardware. The release +introduces new work flows for designing hardware IP cores and Genode +components in tandem, which allows for low-complexity software-hardware +co-designs that fit like a glove. + +Feature-wise, the new version covers a vast area of topics. The enhancement of +our Intel GPU multiplexer to current GEN12+ hardware stands out most. Further +topics range from the emerging user interface for Genode on the PinePhone, +over plenty of device-driver work, to virtualization improvements on ARM and +PC hardware. + +These and many more topics of the new version are covered by the official +[https:/documentation/release-notes/22.11 - release documentation of version 22.11...] + + Sculpt OS release 22.10 | 2022-10-13 ####################################
