Hello everyone,
the new Apertis v2022dev1 development release is now available!
Apertis v2022dev1 is the first development release of the Apertis
v2022 stable release flow that will lead to the LTS Apertis v2022.0
release in March 2022.
For more details about the Apertis release flows and support periods,
see https://www.apertis.org/designs/release-flow/
You can find the full release notes at
https://www.apertis.org/release/v2022dev1/releasenotes/
This release ships the linux 5.10 LTS kernel and is the last one in the
v2022 flow to be based on Buster. The upcoming v2022dev2 release will
be based on Debian Bullseye, so expect some substantial changes. :)
Some highlights for this release:
* Replace GnuTLS/GMP with GPL-3-free alternative on target images
From this releases a selection of packages has been switched from
their GnuTLS backend to the OpenSSL one, to be later able to upgrade
the GnuTLS stack without being restricted by the GPL-3 provisions.
* Technology preview: Licensing reports for images
As part of the image building pipeline Apertis now also produces
detailed JSON reports listing the licenses covering the binaries
shipped on each image.
* Infrastructure status page
To help developers diagnose these issues and to help administrators
to promptly react on unscheduled downtimes some monitoring services
have been reviewed and a status page keeping track of the health of
all the Apertis services is now available at
https://status.apertis.org
* Improved SDK persistent disk tests
The manual tests excercising the persistent SDK workspaces are now
much easier to run and have also been made much more robust.
