# OSBuild - Build-Pipelines for Operating System Artifacts
|
||||
|
||||
## CHANGES WITH 13:
|
||||
|
||||
* Stage `org.osbuild.yum` has been dropped. It has been deprecated for
|
||||
some time and `org.osbuild.rpm` provides a better alternative.
|
||||
|
||||
* XZ compression now utilizes all available CPU cores. This affects all
|
||||
stages and assemblers that support XZ compression. It should decrease
|
||||
compression times considerably.
|
||||
|
||||
* `org.osbuild.grub2` now supports referring to file-systems via a label
|
||||
additionally to a UUID. This affects all places where an existing
|
||||
file-system is referred to. Disk creation still requires a UUID to be
|
||||
provided. `org.osbuild.fstab` gained similar support.
|
||||
|
||||
* RHEL-8.3 is now supported as host system.
|
||||
|
||||
* The 'libdir' layout in `/usr/lib/osbuild/` has been simplified.
|
||||
Distributions are no longer required to create mount anchors during
|
||||
installation. Instead, all modules (stages, assemblers, sources, and
|
||||
runners) can be copied verbatim from the source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
* `org.osbuild.grub2` now correctly pads `grubenv` files to 1024 bytes.
|
||||
This was not done correctly, previously, and caused other parsers to
|
||||
fail.
|
||||
|
||||
* The containerization via systemd-nspawn was adjusted to support
|
||||
running in a container. With sufficient privileges, you can now run
|
||||
osbuild pipelines from within a container.
