Release 2019.2
It's been some time since the last release, so this is a slightly larger
one! There's lots of new features, and a few bug fixes. Some highlights
below.
New features:
- A new `sysroot.bootloader` key was added to be more explicit about
which bootloader OSTree should use. Notably a `none` value is
supported, in which OSTree is solely responsible for writing the BLS
entries. This can then be used by bootloaders like GRUB2, which now
supports BLS natively. (#1814)
- `ostree config` now supports the `unset` command to unset a key from
the OSTree repo config (#1743)
- `ostree remote add` now supports the `--force` flag to replace a
remote of the same name if it exists (#1166)
- `ostree-prepare-root` now logs a structured journal message after
finding the deployment to which to pivot. This can be used by
higher-level apps like RPM-OSTree to build a history of the
deployments the machine was booted into. (#1842)
- The staging API now supports a lockfile which prevents finalization at
shutdown. This is intended to be used in systems like Fedora CoreOS,
which needs more fine-tuned control between *staging* a deployment,
and setting it as the *default* deployment on reboot. (#1841)
- `ostree static-delta show` now prints the `From` and `To` commits for
which the delta was generated (#1823)
Bug fixes:
- Make looking up collection-refs similar to how regular refs are looked
up, i.e. first in the transaction, then in the current repo, and then
in the parent repo (#1821)
- Don't include the OSTree commit version number twice in the boot menu
title. This affected at least Fedora-based systems composed with
RPM-OSTree's `mutate-os-release`. (#1829)
- Activate `ostree-finalize-staged` earlier; this should hopefully make
deployment finalization more reliable by running it later in the
shutdown sequence, when less services are running (#1840)
- Run `grub2-mkconfig` on the filesystem tree of the pending deployment,
rather than the previously deployed tree. This was a corner case where
the deployment failed if a previous deployment did not exist, on
systems where grub.cfg is used. (#1831)
As always, thanks to all the contributors!
