Feature and Bug Fix Release -- August 14, 2026.

Unroot 1.0.4 strengthens Linux distribution compatibility, closes a remaining archive metadata-safety gap and adds progress bars for packing and unpacking!

  • An entered rootfs now appears as / in its own mount table, giving package managers and other tools the conventional root mount entry they expect. (#33)
  • /etc/mtab is now a default, reversible injection pointing to /proc/self/mounts. Any original file or symlink is preserved for removal and packing. (#34)
  • unroot source builds now perform a build-time check to ensure that libarchive is built with support for POSIX ACLs and extended attributes. This addresses a bug that could cause silent metadata loss. (#32)
  • GitHub release downloads no longer include standalone unroot binaries. A functional installation needs both the static unroot engine and its host-linked unroot-util helper, so it's recommended to use a prebuilt distro package or build from source.
  • Interactive archive inspection, unpacking, and packing now display compact, terminal-aware progress with average throughput in MiB/s.
