Notable changes

  • deploy: Don't recompute verity checksums if not enabled by @cgwalters in #3326

This fixes a huge performance regression where we recomputed the fsverity checksum of all objects at deployment time for systems using composefs but not using fsverity.

  • prepare-root: allow sysroot.readonly=true with kernel cmdline ro by @ruihe774 in #3316

There are two notable changes in this release.

First, this release adapts to a change in libcurl 8.10.1 that caused ostree to start crashing. There is ongoing debate as to whether the curl change here was right, but in any case the adaption required on our side was trivial and to emphasize - it's quite safe to cherry pick the relevant commit to prior ostree releases too.

Second, for the booted host side, we've changed the mount propagation setup. More details in

Other than that there are a variety of more minor tweaks and fixes.

A relatively minor release; this has a bugfix for "transient-etc" users, and a new ostree.prepare-root.composefs kernel option that allows dynamic overrides for the composefs state. There's also a new API to directly create a composefs from an ostree commit.

New features and notable changes

This release changes how /var works (again):

The mount setup also had a semantic change for those enabling root.transient:

  • prepare-root: Switch to a tmpfs for transient root by @cgwalters in #3173

Also related to prepare-root, it is now recommend to enable composefs by simply configuring ostree-prepare-root.conf and not the ex-integrity.composefs variable:

  • deploy: Honor prepare-root.conf at deploy time for composefs by @cgwalters in #3165

New features

There are two major new APIs around configuring mutability and persistence of the root filesystem.

First, OSTree gained support for a new root.transient flag that makes / an overlayfs that is persistent across reboots but not across upgrades. This makes the system behave a bit more similarly to e.g. Docker and following tools such as podman and Kubernetes.

There is a different approach in the (still classified as experimental) [email protected] unit:

This approach instead allows operating systems or downstream builders to choose to apply persistent merge semantics to specific targeted directories (e.g. /opt).

Notable bugfixes

  • prepare-root: Fix composefs + ostree admin unlock --hotfix compat by @cgwalters in #3129
  • lib/deploy: Round to block size in early prune space check by @jlebon in #3130
