Hi all, I am happy to announce the release of kexec-tools 2.0.14-rc1. This is an incremental feature pre-release. So long as no serious problems arise I intend to release kexec-tools 2.0.14 in a weeks time. Testing of 2.0.14-rc1 would be greatly appreciated. I do not have any outstanding changes for 2.0.14 at this time. And I would like to only accept bug fixes at this time and take take features patches once 2.0.14 has been released. The pre-release can be downloaded from kernel.org: https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools-2.0.14-rc1.tar.xz https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/ I have also tagged it in git: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git Thanks to everyone who has contributed to kexec.
