Sculpt OS release 24.04

This release focuses on Sculpt OS usability and, thus, brings a diversity of new user-visible features: support for 4K displays, initial support for I2C touchpads in modern Intel notebooks, experimental support for suspend/resume, fine-grained assignment of USB devices to applications and VMs, and new audio-mixing capabilities.

Seasoned users will immediately recognize the new power of the component-management UI, offering easy control over optional features, software providers, and software installation. Among many little user-interface improvements, the component graph and configuration interface have become scrollable, boosting the interactive user experience.

For developers, the release offers two bold new features, namely the support for on-target debugging via GDB, and the ability to use Sculpt OS as a remote test target of Genode's Goa SDK. Look out for more information about these features in the upcoming weeks at https://genodians.org.
