Genode OS release 26.05 May 29, 2026

Genode 26.05 features all recent Sculpt OS innovations as reusable building blocks, advances driver support across the board, introduces touch-based window management, updates Qt to version 6.8.3, and is topped off with fresh revisions of the Genode books.

Today, we proudly released version 26.05 of the Genode OS Framework.

Following up on the migration of the project from GitHub to Codeberg as announced earlier this year, we are happy to report the completion of this delicate mission. With Genode 26.05, all source-code repositories and more than 5800 issue discussions have found a new home and Genode Labs happily joined the Codeberg non-profit as a member.

This infrastructure change along with the framework's recent switch of its configuration format called for a holistic documentation update. Therefore, the release is accompanied with fresh revisions of the three Genode books, which can be downloaded for free at genode.org.

At the technical level, the new version advances the driver support regarding LTE, I2C HID, SOF audio, ACPI, Wifi, and graphics. The most innovative aspects of Sculpt OS have now been turned into reusable framework features. Further highlights are touch-based window management, the update of Qt to version 6.8.3, and a variety of Goa SDK improvements.
