This release includes many bugfixes and enhancements. The most
significant change is the introduction of Rust code to the tree. This is
gated behind a new `--enable-rust` build option. Right now, the only
Rust component is an internal library which will allow `rpm-ostree
compose tree` to read YAML treefiles rather than JSON. Look forward to
more features in Rust in the future; it's also likely that we will
slowly "oxidize", or convert some portions of C code to Rust, following
in the footsteps of Firefox.
PR: #1377
A new `reset` command was added. This allows users to easily undo all
mutations done to the host: overlays, overrides, and initramfs
regeneration. The command supports switches to only reset *some* of
these, e.g. `reset --overlays --overrides`.
PR: #1419
Related to the above, the `uninstall` command learned a new `--all`
switch to remove all layered packages in a single transaction.
PR: #1408
The `install` command now refuses to overlay packages that are already
part of the base commit. This was causing some confusion among new
users. One may use the new `--allow-inactive` switch to force the
request to become inactive. Documentation for the `install` and
`uninstall` commands were updated to clarify this.
PR: #1378
There is a new `machineid-compat` treefile option, it defaults to
`true`, but we plan to change this to `false` soon for Fedora CoreOS and
Silverblue. The primary aim is to enable systemd's
`ConditionFirstBoot=` to finally work, which is part of adapting CoreOS
Ignition for the converged Fedora CoreOS. Note as part of this, the
`default_target` treefile option will now modify the symlink in `/usr`
as opposed to the copy in `/etc`.
PR: #1425
The display of "bare commit origins" has been enhanced; most users will
not notice this as it's for currently unusual cases. More information
in:
PR: #1396
Locally layered packages can now be uninstalled by only specifying the
package name rather than the full NEVRA.
PR: #1400
There is continuing work on automatic updates; in particular, a major
topic is ensuring that it's clear to system administrators how things
work. For example, we now display a message if `rpm-ostree upgrade` is
invoked when automatic updates are enabled:
PR: #1399
Further, clients such as gnome-software and Cockpit can now pass a
"client ID"; the idea is that the daemon can track which process
initiated an update. The goal here is to be able to display in e.g.
`rpm-ostree status` that the automatic updates are controlled by
gnome-software in the Silverblue case, for example.
PR: #1368
The `kargs` command received a few fixes. It is also no longer marked as
experimental, and can thus now be called directly as `rpm-ostree kargs`.
For compatibility, `ex kargs` is still accepted, but will be removed in
the future.
PR: #1420, #1428
There are other miscellaneous fixes such as documentation, ongoing CI
work, etc. A small preparatory commit landed as part of work towards
using `systemd-sysusers`. Thanks to all contributors!
