This release fixes a number of bugs:
- Some regressions in autopkgtest cases due to external changes have
been fixed.
- copy_exec no longer fails if ldd prints a warning message.
- The check for compression support in the kernel config treated a
missing config file as a fatal error. It now assumes the required
option is enabled if the config file is not found, and also looks for
it under /lib/modules.
- When MODULES=dep and root is on zfs, mkinitramfs does not fail (but it
does not add the required device drivers itself).
- unmkinitramfs now tells dd to read the correct number of bytes from a
multi-part initramfs.
- If ipconfig never succeeds, configure_networking no longer exits the
current shell.
It adds several features:
- Support for compressed firmware.
- When configuring networking, populate /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf,
and the kernel hostname.
- The autopkgtest cases cover more architectures, and
configure_networking.
- Always bring up networking when the 'ip' kernel parameter is set.
- Use dracut-install to install modules and their firmware, which will
usually be faster than the previous implementation.
- Support for panel devices with any name and on any bus when
MODULES=dep, so long as the driver name includes "panel".
- Support for MT8173/8183 Chromebooks with MODULES=most.
- Support for Hyper-V keyboard driver.
Possible breaking changes:
- The detection of generic framebuffer support has been changed to work
with newer kernel versions. This might result in leaving out a
needed hardware-specific framebuffer driver when MODULES=dep.
- The networking bring-up changes might break hooks that also try to do
this.
- Installation of kernel modules into the initramfs is now done with
dracut-install, and is batched to amortise the cost of dracut-install
startup. This could break hooks that look for modules installed by
other hooks.
Special thanks goes to Benjamin Drung, who will be joining as a co-
maintainer.
The shortlog is below.
