This release primarily fixes a regression in 2020.4 where the "readonly sysroot" changes incorrectly left the sysroot read-only on systems that started out with a read-only / (most of them, e.g. Fedora Silverblue/IoT at least)
Link: 33eeb7b

One thing not fixed in this release that also changed in 2020.4 is that if you were shipping an OS build with device trees before proper support landed in 2020.4, you may need to "ratchet" an upgrade process. See the linked issue for ongoing discussion.
Link: #2154

There's some additions to the pull API to aid flatpak, and although it turns out those are likely to be obviated by #2167 - we will retain those options in the future.
Link: #2166

There were a few fixes to the man pages, and ostree show now displays the parent commit.

The default dracut config now enables reproducibility.
Link: #2170

On the "feature" side, there is a new ostree admin unlock --transient. We expect this to be a foundation for further support for "live" updates.
Link: f2773c1

Finally, various CI improvements landed - more testing of FCOS in PXE/ISO, and most notably there's a large brand new test (written in Rust) that exercises a mix of kill -9 and reboot -ff (immediate forced reboots) while upgrading.

ostree 2020.4

By far the biggest change in this release is new ed25519 signing support, powered by libsodium.
See: #1233

ostree commit gained a new --base argument, which significantly simplifies constructing "derived" commits, particularly for systems using SELinux.

Handling of the read-only sysroot was reimplemented to run in the initramfs and be more reliable. Enabling the readonly=true flag in the repo config is recommended.

Several bugs were fixed in locking for the temporary "staging" directories OSTree creates, particularly on NFS.

lib: Coerce flags enums to GIR bitfields changed some values to be (correctly) flags - this may show up as incompatible for GObject Introspection consumers (but not C).

A new timestamp-check-from-rev option was added for pulls, which makes downgrade protection more reliable and will be used by Fedora CoreOS.

Several fixes and enhancements were made for "collection" pulls including a new --mirror option.

The ostree commit command learned a new --mode-ro-executables which enforces W^R semantics on all executables.

A new commit metadata key (OSTREE_COMMIT_META_KEY_ARCHITECTURE) was added to help standardize the architecture of the OSTree commit. This could be used on the client side for example to sanity-check that the commit matches the architecture of the machine before deploying.

Some new tests are being written in Rust, and ostree now itself uses the Rust ostree bindings for tests; work on this is ongoing.

The pull command learned a new --per-object-fsync which restores the original libostree behaviour of fsyncing each object as they are written. This makes the overall operation take much longer, but exhibits an I/O latency profile friendlier to neighbouring processes (such as databases) that also invoke fsync. This will be used in OpenShift for example, where etcd latency is crucial.

Future work

There's a lot in the pipeline, including better handling of the /boot = / case, static delta inline signatures, more CI work, etc.

A quick followup to 2020.2, which introduced support
for [read-only sysroot][1] ended up breaking some of
the Fedora CoreOS tests in [coreos-assembler][2]
which in turn holds back ostree going into FCOS:
coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#343

Now we've closed that gap and are running more of those
tests as part of our [new CI][3].

There is now support for making the /sysroot mount point read-only to start, and this is used by Fedora CoreOS today. This protects against a lot of accidental damage, and also generalizes and improves the previous special case handling of having /boot read-only. One known issue is that ostree pull is broken with this enabled, and this will be fixed.

Error-handling around GPG verification has had an overhaul. Specifically, libostree now has more specific error codes to distinguish between different verification failures. This should allow apps to have more fine-grained control over how to respond to errors. Do note that the error messages themselves have changed, and we strongly suggest that anyone relying on a specific error message string to migrate to using the API directly.

The original "archive" (split up objects) format didn't make it easy for a client system to know how much data it would be downloading. Later, static deltas were added which addressed this problem, but there are situations in which object fetches still occur. Later then support for optional sizes metadata in commit objects was added but was never really stabilized/publicized. There were also some bugs in it. That is now completed - the sizes data is now stable. and new API was added to read it.

This release adds initial fs-verity support; it doesn't do too much today. Bigger picture it's important to understand that the vision of OSTree is to enable Linux systems that feel like they're "image based" (transactional, versioned updates, no dependency resolution client side), but also to enable things like doing commits on the client side. Today rpm-ostree supports replacing the kernel client side as a first class operation. This is crucially important to make it feel truly like a Linux system that you own. See also this blog. Having a story for how system integrity works in this model is more complicated, but we (the CoreOS team at RHT) will be continuing work on it.

A small tweak was made to have OSTree create repo structure directories and files (such as objects/ or .lock) with group write permissions. This is useful for managing OSTree remote servers from multiple UIDs. For systems with the default umask of 0022, this should have no effect.

We've extensively reworked CI for the upstream repo. In addition to Travis, testing is now done on top of Fedora CoreOS. Not all tests have been carried over, but expect to see more coming. This rework will also allow us to have more comprehensive tests previously not possible.

Several fixes were made to the test suite to handle the cases of systemd vs no-systemd, and systemd is now advertised in the list of features in ostree --version if present.

Nothing major in this release, but we have some
bigger stuff outstanding and ready to merge, so I
want to get this release out so that work will
have time to stabilize.

A few build/CI fixes. A new progress API which
will be used by flatpak (and can be used by others).
Finally, we also avoid reordering kernel arguments.

Thanks to all contributors!

Mainly in this release:

  • We discovered that CLang has a static analyzer scan-build;
    it found some small memory leaks so far, otherwise mostly
    noise, but we haven't dug through all the errors yet.
  • Gained a new zipl (s390x bootloader) backend
  • Install the .hmac files needed for FIPS mode in /boot too

This is also the first release where we switched to using
the OpenShift Prow as a merge bot, though a lot more CI work
is pending.

This is mostly a bugfix release. Notably, the 2019.3 release caused some issues
related to the gpg-agent code spewing messages on the terminal. Additionally,
Fedora 31 users have hit upon issues with ostree-finalize-staged.service
running too late to be able to write back its logs to the journal. This then
confused rpm-ostree after reboot, because it looks at the previous boot's
journal for this message.

The biggest feature-ish change is support for a partial commit "reason" so that
after ostree fsck --delete was used, subsequent ostree fsck will continue to
report an error. This should be used by higher level tools that want to do
"fsck and repair". It's likely at some point that "fsck and repair" logic will
move down into the libostree core as well.

There are ongoing efforts to port Fedora CoreOS to s390x: one fix landed here to
add the deployment prefix to BLS entries since it's what the zipl bootloader
expected.

Special thanks to first-time contributors Benjamin Gilbert and Jason Wessel!

A lot of changes since the last release. On the feature side,
probably the biggest is we've made public the internal API
for kernel arguments, which rpm-ostree now uses.

Other things include a new --modern switch for init-fs,
better support in pull for downgrade protection, better
use of mmap, support for committing archives (tarballs)
from stdin, etc.

Finally, libostree now supports being built without GPG,
which is an important preparatory piece for introducing
an alternative signature system - look for more work
on that soon.

Thanks to all contributors!

It's been some time since the last release, so this is a slightly larger
one! There's lots of new features, and a few bug fixes. Some highlights
below.

New features:

  • A new sysroot.bootloader key was added to be more explicit about
    which bootloader OSTree should use. Notably a none value is
    supported, in which OSTree is solely responsible for writing the BLS
    entries. This can then be used by bootloaders like GRUB2, which now
    supports BLS natively. (#1814)
  • ostree config now supports the unset command to unset a key from
    the OSTree repo config (#1743)
  • ostree remote add now supports the --force flag to replace a
    remote of the same name if it exists (#1166)
  • ostree-prepare-root now logs a structured journal message after
    finding the deployment to which to pivot. This can be used by
    higher-level apps like RPM-OSTree to build a history of the
    deployments the machine was booted into. (#1842)
  • The staging API now supports a lockfile which prevents finalization at
    shutdown. This is intended to be used in systems like Fedora CoreOS,
    which needs more fine-tuned control between staging a deployment,
    and setting it as the default deployment on reboot. (#1841)
  • ostree static-delta show now prints the From and To commits for
    which the delta was generated (#1823)

Bug fixes:

  • Make looking up collection-refs similar to how regular refs are looked
    up, i.e. first in the transaction, then in the current repo, and then
    in the parent repo (#1821)
  • Don't include the OSTree commit version number twice in the boot menu
    title. This affected at least Fedora-based systems composed with
    RPM-OSTree's mutate-os-release. (#1829)
  • Activate ostree-finalize-staged earlier; this should hopefully make
    deployment finalization more reliable by running it later in the
    shutdown sequence, when less services are running (#1840)
  • Run grub2-mkconfig on the filesystem tree of the pending deployment,
    rather than the previously deployed tree. This was a corner case where
    the deployment failed if a previous deployment did not exist, on
    systems where grub.cfg is used. (#1831)

As always, thanks to all the contributors!
