- Python 3.11
- Ruby 3.2

- Go 1.20
- KDE Plasma 5.27
- Rust 1.69
- Experimental support for unattended installs via tiny-cloud
Significant changes
Kernel modules are now signed. Verified modules are not enforced by default, so 3rd party modules with akms still works.
All packages for ppc64le, x86, and x86_64 was linked with DT_RELR. This should have reduced size of compiled binares.
Python pre-compiled files (pyc
) are now shipped in separate packages. It is now
possible to avoid install those and save space by doing apk add !pyc
.
Upgrade notes
As always, make sure to use apk upgrade --available
when switching between
major versions.
