Hello everyone,
with delight, I'm announcing the release of Sculpt OS 25.04:
https://genode.org/news/sculpt-os-release-25.04
As one highlight, the new version wraps up our intensive work on
multi-monitor support by bringing multi-monitor awareness to the
window-management level, adding new keyboard shortcuts for the use of
virtual desktops, and even going as far as offering display rotation.
Please revisit the window-management section of the documentation for a
brief overview of the niceties:
https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-25-04#Window_management
Another user-empowering improvement is the new ability to select
arbitrary directories as file systems when integrating a new component.
This alleviates the need to manually maintain dedicated chroot instances:

Third, the highly anticipated update of the Falkon browser to a recent
Chromium engine is now available. You can give it a try using the
ready-to-use preset.
Among the many other improvements are enhanced IOMMU support,
compatibility with Intel Meteor Lake, various performance optimizations,
and UI controls for changing the screen resolution of the VESA driver.
If you already use Sculpt OS on your machine, you can conveniently
switch to the new version by selecting 2025-04-29 offered by genodelabs
in the system-update dialog. New users can find the new version readily
available as system image for the PC, PinePhone, and the i.MX8-based MNT
Reform laptop.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release, be it in the form of
technical work, testing, or feedback. Speaking of feedback, please don't
hesitate to drop by in the community forum:

Happy Sculpting!
