> Any ETA on the next Sculpt PP OS release?
We are actually busy preparing a new Sculpt OS release scheduled for the end of next week. It will cover PC platforms and the PinePhone.
Regarding the aspired user-visible features for the PinePhone, we are admittedly behind our original plans (like SMS) because we focused on topics like tooling (debugging, SDK), CPU-frequency/temperature monitoring on the PC, a port of the Linphone VoiP stack, and a new API that greatly simplifies the creation of Genode-native UI applications. We figured that it makes much sense to focus on the latter before implementing new application features. With the new infrastructure in place, new features will be easier to add and maintain. So there are plenty of things cooking in the kitchen, not all of them can be served on a plate yet.
It goes without saying that I'll happily share the announcement of the new release here, once it's out.
