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/parabolaiso.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-parabolaiso.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 ``mkparabolaiso`` 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 (from Arch) 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 ``mkparabolaiso`` so that the entire script does not exit with + failure when a custom ``.bashrc`` file is supplied with the parabolaiso 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`` (``/parabola/grubenv`` for releng) + is deprecated and a future parabolaiso 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 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add Memtest86+ to x86_64 UEFI GRUB boot menu. + +Changed +------- + +- Check if the GPG public key file was successfully placed in the work directory before trying to use it. +- Open the file descriptors for code signing certificates and GPG public key as read only. Nothing from the within the + ``pacstrap`` invoked chroot should ever be allowed to write outside of it. +- Error out early if any of the code signing certificate files passed with option ``-c`` do not exist. +- Use LZMA compressed EROFS image for the baseline profile. Now that xz 5.4 is out and erofs-utils is built with LZMA + support, using a higher compression is possible. +- Add ``/etc/machine-id`` with special value ``uninitialized``. The final id is generated at boot time, and systemd's + first-boot mechanim (see ``First Boot Semantics`` in ``machine-id(5)``) applies. No functional change unless that + ``ConditionFirstBoot=yes`` is true and passive unit ``first-boot-complete.target`` activates for ordering. + +[68] - 2022-10-30 +================= + +Changed +------- + +- Do not explicitly enable ``qemu-guest-agent.service`` as it will be started by a udev rule. +- Remove existing signature (``.sig``) files and do not sign them when signing netboot artifacts. This is mostly + applicable when re-running ``mkparabolaiso`` after a failure. +- Replace ``parabolaiso_kms`` with ``kms`` in ``mkinitcpio.conf``. The hook is available in mkinitcpio since version 32. + +[67] - 2022-09-25 +================= + +Added +----- + +- The ability to generate rootfs signatures using openssl CMS module if ``-c`` is given. + +Changed +------- + +- Order ``pacman-init.service`` before ``archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service`` since + ``archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service`` needs an initialized pacman keyring. +- Order ``pacman-init.service`` after ``time-sync.target`` since ``pacman-init.service`` may otherwise create local + signatures that are not valid on target systems after installation. + +[66] - 2022-08-28 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add ``efibootimg`` to ``mkarchiso`` to abstract the FAT image path. +- Unset ``LANGUAGE`` since ``LC_ALL=C.UTF-8``, unlike ``LC_ALL=C``, does not override ``LANGUAGE``. +- Copy all files from the ``grub`` directory to ISO9660 and the FAT image, not just only ``grub.cfg``. +- Touching ``/usr/lib/clock-epoch`` to to help ``systemd`` with screwed or broken RTC. + +Changed +------- + +- Disable GRUB's shim_lock verifier and preload more modules. This allows reusing the GRUB EFI binaries when repacking + the ISO to support Secure Boot with custom signatures. + +[65] - 2022-06-30 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Configure the locale for the baseline profile to ``C.UTF-8`` so that a UTF-8 locale is used. +- Add ``uefi-x64.grub.esp`` and ``uefi-x64.grub.eltorito`` boot mode to support x86_64 UEFI boot on x86_64 machines. +- Use ``mkfs.erofs``'s ``ztailpacking`` option in the baseline profile to reduce the image size. + +Changed +------- + +- Change the releng profile's locale from ``en_US.UTF-8`` to ``C.UTF-8``. +- Set ``LC_ALL`` to ``C.UTF-8`` instead of ``C`` in mkparabolaiso since it is now available and non-UTF-8 locales should be + avoided. + +Removed +------- + +- Remove the custom pacman hook that ran ``locale-gen`` on glibc install from the releng profile. The used locale now + ships with the glibc package itself. +- Remove "Copy to RAM" boot entries since the ``parabolaiso`` mkinitcpio hook enables it automatically when there is enough + free RAM. +- Drop parabolaiso rEFInd support in favor of upstream archiso GRUB EFI bootmode. + +[64] - 2022-05-30 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add ``uefi-ia32.grub.esp`` boot mode to support IA32 UEFI boot on x86_64 machines. +- Add GRUB configuration files to profiles. +- Add accessible ``copytoram`` entry. +- Enable beeps in systemd-boot menu. + +Changed +------- + +- Fix systemd-boot menu entry sorting by using the ``sort-key`` option. + +[63] - 2022-04-30 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add dmidecode to the list of packages in the releng profile. +- Add open-iscsi to the list of packages in the releng profile to allow installing Parabola on an iSCSI target. +- Add hyperv to the list of packages and enable its services to provide better integration with the + Hyper-V hypervisor. + +Changed +------- + +- Mount /etc/pacman.d/gnupg on ramfs instead of tmpfs to ensure its contents never land in swap. +- Configure reflector to return only mirrors that support both IPv4 and IPv6. + +[62.1] - 2022-04-05 +=================== + +Removed +------- + +- Easter egg + +[62] - 2022-03-31 +================= + +Changed +------- + +- Fix the PXE support. PXELINUX was having trouble finding the kernel and initrds. Now, archiso forces syslinux to + interpret all TFTP paths as absolute. That seems to have solved the issue. +- Disable systemd-gpt-auto-generator, which we do not need, in both baseline and releng profiles. It avoids the error + message about it failing during boot. +- Register qemu-arm-static if it is not already, rather than suggesting installing an extra package. + +[61] - 2022-01-31 +================= + +Added +----- + +- Add documentation to systemd-networkd configuration files +- Add information about the use of changelog and merge requests to the contributing guidelines + +Changed +------- + +- Fix an issue where mkparabolaiso is failing to raise an error when the ``mmd`` and ``mcopy`` commands are not found +- Fix an issue where the architecture detection in mkparabolaiso fails due to an unset ``arch`` variable in the profile + Removed ------- @@ -77,7 +376,7 @@ 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 ================= |
