The new kernel is more minimal than any microkernel Genode previously supported, and it fixes long-standing issues with CPU scheduling and kernel-memory management. This release also switches to VirtualBox 7 components for running VMs, up from VirtualBox 6. It adds better webcam handling and new support for UK keyboards. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
