Key highlights include the implementation of the EEVDF scheduler (replacing DWRR) with ~200 FPS gains in benchmarks, a 4x improvement in poll/epoll I/O event performance, and a 3.6x speedup in RedoxFS inode operations via caching. XFCE and COSMIC Monitor were ported, the Rust compiler was updated to 1.98 nightly, and incremental compilation was fixed for the package server. Extensive improvements landed across the kernel, relibc (POSIX compliance), drivers (Intel graphics, xHCI, DRM planes), build system, networking, and documentation. Two Redox Summer of Code projects are underway focusing on scheduling and system compatibility. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
