Release notes for 5.0 (scarthgap)
---------------------------------
New Features / Enhancements in 5.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Linux kernel 6.6, gcc 13.2, glibc 2.39, LLVM 18.1, and over XXX other recipe upgrades
- New variables:
- :term:`CVE_DB_INCR_UPDATE_AGE_THRES`: Configure the maximum age of the
internal CVE database for incremental update (instead of a full
redownload).
- Architecture-specific enhancements:
- Kernel-related enhancements:
- New core recipes:
- QEMU / ``runqemu`` enhancements:
- QEMU has been upgraded to version 8.2.1
- Rust improvements:
- Rust has been upgraded to version 1.75
- wic Image Creator enhancements:
- Allow the imager's output file extension to match the imager's name,
instead of hardcoding it to ``direct`` (i.e., the default imager)
- For GPT-based disks, add reproducible Disk GUID generation
- Allow generating reproducible ext4 images
- Add feature to fill a specific range of a partition with zeros
- ``bootimg-efi``: add ``install-kernel-into-boot-dir`` parameter to
configure kernel installation point(s) (i.e., rootfs and/or boot partition)
- ``rawcopy``: add support for zstd decompression
- SDK-related improvements:
- Testing:
- Add an optional ``unimplemented-ptest`` QA warning to detect upstream
packages with tests, that do not use ptest.
- Utility script changes:
- New ``recipetool/create_go.py`` script added to support Go recipe creation
- BitBake improvements:
- Packaging changes:
- Security improvements:
- Improve incremental CVE database download from NVD. Rejected CVEs are
removed, configuration is kept up-to-date. The age threshold for
incremental update can be configured with :term:`CVE_DB_INCR_UPDATE_AGE_THRES`
variable.
- Prominent documentation updates:
- Miscellaneous changes:
- Systemd's following :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` options were added:
``cryptsetup-plugins``, ``no-ntp-fallback``, and ``p11kit``.
- ``systemd-boot`` can, from now on, be compiled as ``native``, thus
providing ``ukify`` tool to build UKI images.
- systemd: split bash completion for ``udevadm`` in a new
``udev-bash-completion`` package.
- The :ref:`ref-classes-go-vendor` class was added to support offline builds
(i.e., vendoring). It can also handle modules from the same repository,
taking into account their versions.
- Disable strace support of bluetooth by default.
