---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
New Features / Enhancements in 5.0
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- Linux kernel 6.6, gcc 13.2, glibc 2.39, LLVM 18.1, and over 300 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).
|
|
|
|
- :term:`RPMBUILD_EXTRA_PARAMS`: support extra user-defined fields without
|
|
crashing the RPM package creation.
|
|
|
|
- :term:`OPKG_MAKE_INDEX_EXTRA_PARAMS`: support extra parameters for
|
|
``opkg-make-index``.
|
|
|
|
- :term:`EFI_UKI_PATH`, :term:`EFI_UKI_DIR`: define the location of UKI
|
|
image in the EFI System partition.
|
|
|
|
- Architecture-specific enhancements:
|
|
|
|
- ``genericarm64``: a new :term:`MACHINE` to represent a 64-bit General Arm
|
|
SystemReady platform.
|
|
|
|
- Add Power8 tune to PowerPC architecture.
|
|
|
|
- ``arch-armv9``: remove CRC and SVE tunes, since FEAT_CRC32 is now mandatory
|
|
and SVE/SVE2 are enabled by default in GCC's ``-march=armv9-a``.
|
|
|
|
- Kernel-related enhancements:
|
|
|
|
- The default kernel is the current LTS (6.6).
|
|
|
|
- Add support for ``genericarm64``.
|
|
|
|
- New core recipes:
|
|
|
|
- `bmaptool <https://github.com/yoctoproject/bmaptool>`__: a tool for
|
|
creating block maps for files and flashing images, being now under the
|
|
Yocto Project umbrella.
|
|
|
|
- ``core-image-initramfs-boot``: a minimal initramfs image, containing just
|
|
``udev`` and ``init``, designed to find the main root filesystem and
|
|
pivot to it.
|
|
|
|
- `lzlib <https://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html>`__: a data compression
|
|
library that provides LZMA compression and decompression functions.
|

|
|
allows building and publishing Rust crates as Python packages.
|
|
|
|
- `python3-meson-python <https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson-python>`__: a
|
|
Python build backend that enables the Meson build-system for Python packages.
|
|
|
|
- `python3-pyproject-metadata <https://pypi.org/project/pyproject-metadata/>`__:
|
|
a class to handle PEP 621 metadata, and a dependency for

|
|
|
- `python3-referencing <https://github.com/python-jsonschema/referencing>`__:
|
|
another dependency of ``python3-jsonschema``, it provides an
|
|
implementation of JSON reference resolution.
|
|
|
|
- `python3-rpds-py <https://pypi.org/project/rpds-py/>`__: Python bindings
|
|
to the Rust rpds crate, and a runtime dependency for ``python3-referencing``.
|
|
|
|
- `python3-sphinxcontrib-jquery <https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-jquery/>`__:
|
|
a Sphinx extension to include jQuery on newer Sphinx releases. Recent
|
|
versions of ``python3-sphinx-rtd-theme`` depend on it.
|
|
|
|
- `python3-yamllint <https://github.com/adrienverge/yamllint>`__: a linter
|
|
for YAML files. In U-Boot, the ``binman`` tool uses this linter to verify the
|

|
|
|
|
- BitBake improvements:
|
|
|
|

|
|
state directory (i.e., ``/run``).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- ``package_rpm``: the RPM package compressor's mode can now be overriden.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
- ``openssh`` now has a Systemd service: ``sshd.service``.
