Genode OS Framework release 24.05

With the tailwind of the Sculpt 24.04 release, Genode 24.05 comes with the following highlights. First, Sculpt OS can now be run on our custom microkernel, which is a landmark on our road to root our entire software stack in a foundation devoid of third-party code in privileged CPU mode. Further, the new ability of seamlessly using the GNU debugger on top of Sculpt OS is a game changer for developers. The flexible assignment of USB devices to components and virtual machines is one of many usability advances, beside accessible suspend-resume support on PC hardware.

Additional topics of the current release reach from timing and network-throughput optimizations, over the profound rework of storage encryption, to updated 3rd-party software such as Mesa, libSDL2, and Curl. The release is accompanied by the annual documentation update of the Genode Foundations book downloadable from the project website.
