New Apertis v2022dev2 development release available
by Emanuele Aina 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Hello everyone, the new Apertis v2022dev2 development release is now available! Apertis v2022dev2 is the second 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/v2022dev2/releasenotes/ This release ships the linux 5.10 LTS kernel and is the first one to be based on Bullseye. Some highlights for this release: * Rebase to Debian Bullseye While Bullseye has not been released yet, this release is already based on it, bringing all kind of goodies across the whole stack. * Maynard shell and AGL compositor The Maynard shell built on top of the libweston-based AGL compositor has now replaced the legacy Mildenhall compositor and launcher. * WPA3 support in ConnMan After landing upstream the implementation of WPA3-SAE authentication using wpa_supplicant, it is now available in Apertis * Switch to PipeWire+WirePlumber by default The Pipewire multimedia manager and the WirePlumber policy manager replace PulseAudio as the default audio manager, granting more efficiency and flexibility, better integration with Flatpak, and more powerful policy mechanisms. * Updated licensing-compliant TLS stack The TLS stack has been updated to the latest upstream versions, using OpenSSL by default and limiting GnuTLS to GPL-2-compatible programs. * OVA VirtualBox appliance OVA appliances make the initial setup in VirtualBox as frictionless as possible.

New Apertis v2021.1 stable release available
by Emanuele Aina 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

Hello everyone, the new Apertis v2021.1 stable release is now available! Apertis v2021.1 is the second stable release of the Apertis v2021 release flow. Apertis is committed to maintaining the v2021 release stream until December 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/v2021.1/releasenotes/ This release only ships the security updates from Debian Buster and the latest LTS Linux kernel on the 5.10.x series. In addition, the GCC compiler now builds Position Independent Executables (PIE) by default: this aligns Apertis to what Debian has already been doing for a while so it is a pretty safe change, but it still has the potential to surface other bugs. A whole-archive rebuild is planned for the next release to ensure all binary packages reflect the new default.
