+####################################
+
+| Version 19.07 of the Sculpt operating system improves overall performance
+| and introduces copy and paste between terminals, virtual machines, and
+| graphical applications.
+
+The most prominent user-visible feature of Sculpt OS 19.07 is the ability
+of copy and paste text between terminals, graphical applications, and
+virtual machines. Our unique take on this feature is described in
+a [https://genodians.org/nfeske/2019-07-03-copy-paste - dedicated article].
+
+Under the hood, Sculpt 19.07 benefits from the massive infrastructure
+improvements that came with

+yielding a smoother user experience compared to earlier versions.
