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.

2024.7

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.

v2024.3

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

2024.1

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) ostree-state-overlay@.service 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

2023.8

This release stabilizes "deployment finalization locking" which
is very useful for automatic update workflows.

  • sysroot: Stabilize deployment finalization, add API by @cgwalters in #3090

There's a new post-copy command which may be useful for build
systems that generate a filesystem tree outside of ostree:

The commit logic started using reflinks (if available) which
can be a big speedup.

System root and bootloader:

Finally, ostree now ships a tmpfiles.d fragment which copies from /usr/share/factory/var to /var
by default:

A variety of things here. I think the new support for a "transient etc"
will be appreciated in many places. Note that to work with SELinux
the build system side needs to ensure the labels on /usr/etc match /etc.

Another important change is that the ostree HTTP layer now retries requests
by default; this closes a very longstanding RFE.

Also on the pull side, a longstanding bug was fixed where we'd still
try to fetch "loose" objects even when we were doing a delta pull.

There's a variety of clang-analyzer fixes (some false positives, some real
memory leaks, etc).

Even more in the below log; thanks to all contributors!
