Norman Feske has announced the release of Sculpt OS 25-10, the latest version of the project's independently-developed open-source operating system that combines a microkernel architecture, capability-based security, sandboxed device drivers, and virtual machines in a novel operating system for commodity PC hardware and the PinePhone: "Sculpt OS 25.10 improves performance, updates device drivers, and accepts a new human-readable configuration format. In the light of this year's roadmap focus on rigidity, clarity, performance, Sculpt OS 25.10 looks the same as the version 25.04 but might feel different as it includes countless under-the-hood improvements of the two preceding framework releases 25.05 and 25.08. User interaction on performance-starved platforms like the PinePhone has become visibly smoother thanks to our recent CPU scheduling advances. The streamlined block-storage stack combined with various refinements of the package-installation mechanism make the on-target installation of 3rd-party components a bliss. Regarding supported hardware, we steadily follow the tireless work of the Linux kernel community. All PC driver components using Linux kernel code are now consistently based on kernel version 6.12." Here is the brief release announcement. Sculpt OS 25-10 is available for download as an IMG file: sculpt-25-10.img (34.9MB, signature). |

OS Release: Sculpt OS 26-04 |
|
Genode has announced the release of Sculpt OS 26-04, the latest version of the project's independently-developed open-source operating system for PC hardware, the PinePhone, and the MNT Reform laptop: "Sculpt OS 26.04 gives the user unprecedented transparency and interactive control over all components underpinning the operating system. Version 26.04 of the Genode-based general-purpose OS lays all building blocks of the operating system into the hands of the user, including all formerly hard-wired components. It invites the user to explore, customize, and restructure the system architecture on the fly. Right after booting the new version, one is presented with all the running components ready to be (literally) touched, controlled, and extended. Below the surface of the administrative user interface, a major paradigm shift awaits the user when risking a look under the hood. The system no longer processes configuration data as mere input to its internal data model but it exposes the data model directly to the user. Thereby Sculpt OS not only lays the entire construction plan of the system into your hands for inspection but the construction plan is live." Read the rest of the release announcement for further details. Sculpt OS 26-04 is available for download as IMG and OVA image files; here are the download links: sculpt-26-04.img (35.8MB, signature), sculpt-26-04.ova (33.4MB, signature). |
