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. + + Contributions from: Christian Kellner, David Rheinsberg, Major Hayden + + - Berlin, 2020-04-29 + ## CHANGES WITH 12: * The `qemu` assembler now supports the `VHDX` image format.
