Apertis release schedule changes
by Walter Lozano 11 May '22

11 May '22

Hi all, The Apertis team is committed to provide high quality standards and therefore is always trying to improve the stability of the releases. With this mindset we have decided to extend the RC testing period from one week to two weeks for every release, in order to provide enough time to run all the tests and propose proper fixes if needed. Worth noting the dates for the final releases have not changed, but instead the schedule was adjusted to accommodate the extended testing period. Refer to [1], [2] and [3] for more details. Thanks to everyone who contributed! Walter [1] https://www.apertis.org/release/v2021.5/release_schedule/ [2] https://www.apertis.org/release/v2022.1/release_schedule/ [3] https://www.apertis.org/release/v2023dev2/release_schedule/ -- Walter Lozano Collabora Ltd.

Hello everyone, I'm glad to announce that the Apertis v2022.0 stable release is now available! Apertis v2022.0 is the first stable release of the Apertis v2022 release flow. Apertis is committed to maintaining the v2022 release stream until December 2023.

A compatibility layer ensures that applications do not need any change to use the new audio manager. * Modernization of GPL-3-free replacements Compliance to the licensing expectations is now enforced without outdated forks affecting the TLS stack, GnuPG or GNU Coreutils. * WPA3 support in ConnMan Apertis now ships support for WPA3-SAE authentication and WPA3-Personal transition mode in ConnMan and wpa_supplicant. * Licensing reports As part of the image building pipeline Apertis now also produces detailed reports listing the licenses covering the binaries shipped on each image. * Fixed Function and HMI images to replace minimal and target To give a clearer purpose to each image type and provide a better guide to developers looking at the reference images for their product recipes, the HMI and FixedFunction images replace the target and minimal image types. * Improved Raspberry Pi support The Raspberry Pi support has improved including: * Support for RPi 400 model. * Graphical interface now booting without input devices attached. * Fixed USB support. * Documentation to bring up Raspberry Pi 4. * iMX8MN Variscite Symphony and BSH SMM S2 PRO board support Designed by BSH, the SystemMaster S2 Pro is an add-on board which provides input and output interfaces to a dedicated carrier board. Support has also been added for the iMX8MN Variscite Symphony board. * OVA VirtualBox SDK appliance To make the initial setup easier for users of the Apertis SDK with VirtualBox, a full OVA appliance file is provided to let developers create their Apertis virtual machine in Virtualbox with just a double click.
