The + existence of a ``early_cpio`` file is not enough since mkinitcpio can and will place other files in the early + uncompressed CPIO even when the ``microcode`` hook is not used. + +Removed +------- + +[77] - 2024-04-21 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Copy Memtest86+ EFI binary to the EFI system partition and ISO 9660 for ``uefi-x86.systemd-boot`` boot modes. + Additionally, create a boot entry with it for the releng profile. + +Changed +------- + +- Change releng profile's bootstrap tarball compression from gzip to zstd. zstd provides higher and faster compression. +- Use mkinitcpio's ``microcode`` hook instead of external microcode images to simplify boot loader configuration. + Custom PXE setups will need to update their boot loader configuration. +- Replace ``archisodevice`` boot parameter with ``archisosearchuuid`` in all boot loader configuration. This allows to + have "file system transposition" without relaying on GRUB-specific features. +- Replace GRUB with systemd-boot as the UEFI boot loader for the releng profile. While this increases the ISO size, it + avoids all GRUB-specific annoyances and oddities. + +Fixed +----- + +- Fix requirement validation logic for the ``uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito`` boot mode. It incorrectly applied the + same requirements as ``uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp``. + +[76] - 2024-03-30 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add a man page for ``mkarchiso``. +- Implement configurable bootstrap tarball compression. It is configured in ``profiledef.sh`` using a bash array called + ``bootstrap_tarball_compression``. baseline tarball now uses zstd compression while releng remains with gzip for now. + +Changed +------- + +- Move ``/boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid`` to ``/boot/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid`` and always create the file. + Once mkinitcpio-archiso implements searching for the file in early userspace, this file's use will not be limited to + just GRUB. +- Skip including external microcode images in build artifacts if the initramfs file contains ``early_cpio`` (indicating + an early uncompressed CPIO archive which should have the microcode update files). + +Removed +------- + +- Remove workaround for glibc < 2.39. ``LC_ALL=C.UTF-8`` now overrides ``LANGUAGE``, just like ``LC_ALL=C``. + +[75] - 2024-01-24 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Explicitly add ldns to releng (as opposed to it only being pulled in as a dependency of another package) to ensure + ``drill`` remains available. + +Changed +------- + +- Update the releng ISO description to "Arch Linux Live/Rescue DVD" since the ISO size now exceeds the maximum size of + a CD (900 MiB). + +Fixed +----- + +- Update the location where ``mkarchiso`` looks for the memtest86+ license file. + +[74] - 2023-12-21 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add bcachefs-tools to releng for access to bcachefs userspace tools. +- Add tftp as a valid protocol for downloading automated boot script. + +Changed +------- + +- Set ``RequiredForOnline=routable`` in systemd-networkd configuration files to improve the chances that the network + really is *online* when ``network-online.target`` is reached. + +Fixed +----- + +- Add missing replacement for the UUID variable in systemd-boot configuration files on ISO 9660. + +[73] - 2023-09-29 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add bolt to releng for authorizing and otherwise managing Thunderbolt and USB4 devices. +- Add ``uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.esp`` and ``uefi-ia32.systemd-boot.eltorito`` boot modes that use systemd-boot for IA32 + UEFI. The boot modes of baseline and releng are not changed. +- Add GRUB configuration file ``/boot/grub/loopback.cfg`` to the releng and baseline profiles. It sets the necessary + boot parameters required for booting the ISO image as a file on a file system. + +Fixed +----- + +- Add ``/etc/localtime`` to the baseline profile to ensure the ISO can be booted successfully without triggering + questions from systemd-firstboot. + +[72] - 2023-08-29 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add tpm2-tools to releng to allow clearing, creating and reading keys on the TPM. +- Add sequoia-sq and openpgp-card-tools as additional tooling for working with OpenPGP certificates and smartcards. + +Changed +------- + +- Moved custom ``mkinitcpio.conf`` files to ``/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/archiso.conf``. +- Mount ``/etc/pacman.d/gnupg`` on tmpfs with option ``noswap`` instead of using ramfs. This ensures there is a limit to + the file system size. +- Enable systemd-networkd's support for IPv6 Privacy Extensions globally instead of per-connection. +- Moved custom ``sshd_config`` files to ``/ssh/sshd_config.d/10-archiso.conf`` +- Use pcsclite for interfacing with smartcards, since both gnupg and opgpcard support it. + +Fixed +----- + +- Sign the root file system image only once. +- Make sure xorriso does not read its configuration files to prevent interference and unintended behavior. + +[71] - 2023-05-28 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Added classes for Memtest86+ and UEFI Shell menuentries. +- Add foot-terminfo and wezterm-terminfo packages to releng to support terminal emulators using them. E.g. when + installing via SSH. +- Add a new ``-r`` option to ``mkarchiso`` that deletes the working directly after the build. +- Add support for mDNS announce and resolve. + +Changed +------- + +- Increase EROFS compression for the baseline profile by using an extreme LZMA compression level and enabling the + experimental compressed fragments and data deduplication features. +- Identify the ISO volume via a UUID instead of a file system label in all boot loader configuration files. +- Update ``pacman.conf`` to match the one shipped with pacman 6.0.2-7 which removes the community repository. + +Fixed +----- + +- Wait for ``network-online.target`` to become active before trying to download the script passed via the ``script=`` + boot parameter. +- Subdirectories from ``grub/`` are copied to the ISO. +- Modify the commandline options to a ``cp`` command in ``mkarchiso`` so that the entire script does not exit with + failure when a custom ``.bashrc`` file is supplied with the archiso configuration. This fix was needed after + **GNU Coreutils** recently changed the behaviour of the ``-n`` (or ``--no-clobber``) commandline option to the ``cp`` + command. +- Ensure ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` is read from the ``build_date`` file before ``profiledef.sh`` is sourced to ensure the + variable has a correct value when used inside ``profiledef.sh``. + +[70] - 2023-02-27 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Support *file system transposition* to simplify boot medium preparation for UEFI boot via extracting the ISO image + contents to a drive. ``grub.cfg`` does not hardcode the ISO volume label anymore, instead GRUB will search for volume + with a ``/boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid`` file on it. +- Preload GRUB's NTFS modules for UEFI that allegedly have native NTFS support. GRUB's exFAT and UDF modules are also + preloaded in case someone finds them useful. + +Changed +------- + +- Identify the ISO volume via a UUID instead of a file system label to avoid collisions of multiple ISOs created in the + same month. +- Honor ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` in the ``date`` command used by ``profiledef.sh`` of the shipped profiles. +- Do not duplicate ``grub.cfg`` in both ISO 9660 and the EFI system partition / El Torito image. GRUB will search for + the ISO volume and load the ``grub.cfg`` from there. +- Moved GRUB files on ISO 9660 from ``/EFI/BOOT/`` to a boot-platform neutral place ``/boot/grub/``. This does not apply + to the EFI binaries that remain in the default/fallback boot path. +- Move ``grubenv`` to ``/boot/grub/grubenv`` on ISO 9660 so that it is together with the rest of GRUB-specific files. + Additionally write more variables in it. The previous ``/${install_dir}/grubenv`` (``/arch/grubenv`` for releng) + is deprecated and a future archiso release will not create this file anymore. +- Moved syslinux directory from ``/syslinux/`` to ``/boot/syslinux/`` to keep most boot loader files in ``/boot/``. +- Update ``README.transfer`` documentation and convert it to reStructuredText. +- Use ``console`` as grub's ``terminal_output``, as ``gfxterm`` leads to a blank screen on some hardware. + Removed ------- +- Do not place memtest86+ in netboot artifacts. + [69] - 2022-12-24 ================= @@ -241,7 +454,7 @@ Removed ------- - Remove all files related to ``mkinitcpio`` integration, as they now live in - https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso + https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso [57] - 2021-07-30 ================= |
