Hello everyone, the new Apertis 17.12 stable release is now available!
You can find the full release notes at https://wiki.apertis.org/17.12/ReleaseNotes
Some highlights from this release:
* New infrastructure to build images
The new pipeline based on the debos tool is meant to be faster and more flexible, and also allow developers to easily build custom images on their machines.
* LAVAv2
Our testing rig has been switched to LAVAv2, after LAVAv1 development has stopped. This gave us support for ARM64 boards and for running tests in QEMU, freeing resources on the hardware targets.
* OSTree
Preliminary work has been started to use OSTree as the basis for a robust and efficient update mechanism.
* LXC template
A template script for LXC makes using Apertis in a container as simple as possible, using OSTree for updates.
