Release 100 of dracut-ng serves as a drop-in replacement for the original dracut project.
This release marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing an alternative, community-driven solution for creating an initramfs image.

The original dracut project is no longer actively maintained (its last tagged release dates back to 2022).
Forking allows the community to take ownership of the project and address maintenance issues independently.

This release includes fixes for compatibility with the latest Linux kernel (v6.8), Linux firmware, and systemd (v255).

A new dracut module named net-lib has been added to enhance networking support.

Support for new Linux kernel modules have been added to support new devices, including the Surface Laptop 4 and MacBook Pro.

The project builds test containers daily for the following Linux distributions: Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, openSUSE, and Ubuntu, in various configurations (systemd, OpenRC, glibc, musl).
All enabled integration tests have passed at the time of this release.
