LG Releases WebOS Open Source Edition 2.23

Open platform Webos Open Source Edition 2.23 has been presented, which can be used on various portable devices, boards, and automobile information and entertainment systems. The Raspberry Pi 4 is considered a reference hardware platform. The platform is developed in the public repository under the Apache 2.0 license, and the community follows a joint model for development management.

The main changes in the new issue are as follows:

  • Added a framework for post-cutting sound, which implements the functionality of the equalizer.
  • Improved system for identifying malicious sites using the web risk API. A local database is now used to store the list of malicious sites, which has significantly reduced memory consumption.
  • Added support for AVIF image format in the Web-engine. The configuration of the Access Control Groups (ACG) access control model has been updated to limit the privileges of services.
  • Updated Sandstone interface components to version 2.7.3, and the ENACT application assembly utility to version 6.0.1. The QT library has been updated to version 6.5.2.
  • The UnifiedSinkbin component, which provides video rendering on different SOC, has been rewritten in Rust.
  • Added support for Raspberry Pi 3 in the module for working with G-Camera-Pipeline cameras.
  • The SDK Telegraf now offers the ability to monitor CPU resource consumption, track a list of processes, and monitor process memory.
