transactional-update NEWS -- history of user-visible changes.

Copyright (C) 2016-2024 Thorsten Kukuk, Ignaz Forster et al.

Version 5.0.0
* Rework /etc handling; instead of maintaining complex overlay mount
  layers use a btrfs subvolume of the corresponding snapshot instead.
  Syncing changes before the reboot will be done by during boot (or
  during apply) by transactional-update-sync-etc-state instead.
  [jsc#SMO-367]
  Also resolves: [boo#1140472], [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#117]
* Add EXPERIMENTAL support for performing updates using a container
  image [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#128]. Note that this command
  is only available via `transactional-update apply-oci ...` for now
  and cannot be triggered from the API or D-Bus interface. Moreover
  the syntax may and probably will change in future releases.
* Removed `status` command - it was disabled by default for a long time
  already and unmaintained
* tukit: Fix snippet directory in man page
* t-u: Don't apply again if snapshot is current already
* t-u: Prevent self-updates between major t-u versions because these
  usually require additional files
* Fix missing files when using `make dist`
* Unified Copyright headers
* Make Bash scripts shellcheck compatible
* Replace tabs with spaces in Shell scripts to avoid the complex
  tab / space changes
* Various other minor internal optimizations and fixes

Version 4.8.3 (2024-09-24)
* Check return value of `register` command [bsc#1230901]

Version 4.8.2 (2024-09-16)
* Allow specifying only low value with setup-kdump [bsc#1230537]

Version 4.8.1 (2024-08-30)
* tukit: fix --drop-if-no-change after apply [bsc#1229900]

Version 4.8.0 (2024-08-26)
* Add sd-boot (systemd-boot) support for most commands
* Add support for specifying migration arguments
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#127]
* Support kdump setup on platforms without kdump high/low settings (e.g.
  S/390 or PPC64le [bsc#1229138]
* Preserve current working directory if possible when entering
  transactional-update environment [bsc#1227452]; also adds the current path
  to the Bash prompt
* Fix plugin system to support special characters in commands

Version 4.7.0 (2024-07-04)
* Add plugin mechanism
  It's now possible to hook into API functions with custom plugins; see
  doc/tukit-plugins.md for details.
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#122]
* Fix missing libdir replacement for status command

Version 4.6.8 (2024-05-07)
* tukit: Properly handle overlay syncing failures: If the system would not be
  rebooted and several snapshots accumulated in the meantime, it was
  possible that the previous base snapshot - required for /etc syncing -
  was deleted already. In that case changes in /etc might have been reset.
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#116]
  [gh#kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner#1287]
* soft-reboot: Log requested reboot type
* soft-reboot: Don't force hard reboot on version change only

Version 4.6.7 (2024-04-30)
* Add support for snapper 0.11.0; also significantly decreases cleanup time
  [boo#1223504]

Version 4.6.6 (2024-04-18)
* soft-reboot: Fix inverted logic of soft-reboot detection
* soft-reboot: Remove unused variable
* doc: Document configuration file snippets for tukit.conf

Version 4.6.5 (2024-04-12)
* Rework soft-reboot support introduced in 4.6.0:
  * On transactional systems with systemd 254 the system could hang with with
    a soft-reboot, as /var and /etc have to be mounted in /run/nextroot
    explicitly. As a soft-reboot can also be triggered by an admin the
    mounting of the corresponding mount points was moved to a systemd service
    to be independent of t-u itself.
  * Support for systemd 255
  * Don't decrease reboot level on multiple commands
  * Various other bugfixes
  * soft-reboot support is disabled by default now to gather more feedback
* libtukit: Fix kexec reboot method to boot kernel / initrd of next snapshot
* tukit: Don't clone lock file handle on exec [boo#1222411]
* t-u: Always use zypper of installed system [bsc#1221346]
* t-u: Remove remaining telemetrics references

Version 4.6.0 (2024-03-04)
* tukit / t-u: Implement support for systemd soft-reboot, but needs package
  manager support (provided by zypp-boot-plugin on openSUSE) to determine which
  kind of reboot is required; the minimally required reboot method (soft-reboot,
  kexec, full reboot) will be used automatically if enabled (see tukit.conf).
  This deprecates the "kexec" reboot method in favour of automatic selection.
* tukit: Determine D-Bus availabilty via system socket instead of brute force
* tukit: Don't ignore return status of snapper - plugins can return an error
  code now where tukit has to fail [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#118] /
  [poo#127169]
* tukit: Remove BTRFS dependencies in snapper backend, user snapper for
  for everything directly. In theory this should support further file systems
  such as bcachefs if they follow the same layout (untested).
* t-u: Add safety net before deleting overlays [boo#1217416]
* t-u: Remove telemetry support, the required packages haven't been in the
  repository for quite some time as they were abandonned upstream.
* doc: Document option to use names in BINDDIRS array
* doc: Mention tukit.conf in t-u man page
* doc: Link Reboot.hpp as an officially supported API on the main page
* Code cleanup

Version 4.5.0 (2023-11-20)
* libtukit: Use permissions of real /etc when creating overlay
  [bsc#1215878]
* libtukit, tukit: Support "rollback" via library now
* tukitd: Implement Snapshot delete and rollback methods
* tukit: Check for missing arguments with "close" and "abort" commands
* t-u: Warn user when using "kdump" if it isn't configured to avoid
  confusion with "setup-kdump" [boo#1215725]
* t-u: Abort if mkdumprd run is not successful
* t-u: Use default from config file if t-u is called without arguments
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#101]
* Improved README.md [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#59] and API docs
* Code cleanup

Version 4.4.0
* t-u: Introduce setup-fips command [jsc#SMO-194]
* libtukit: Always set a cleanup algorithm for snapshots - when using API,
  D-Bus interface or tukit the snapshots will be automatically cleaned up
  by snapper after some time now; in the past only snapshots created by
  the transactional-update shell script would be cleanup after, and only
  after a `t-u cleanup` run. [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#62]
* tukit: enable kexec's syscall detection feature
* tukit: Don't throw exceptions from the child process after fork
* tukitd: Rename service file to org.opensuse.tukit.service
* tukitd: Allow querying DBus Properties [boo#1214707]
* t-u: Add support for fully written-out update commands
* t-u: Improve detection of existing kernel parameters

Version 4.3.0
* Replace custom tu-rebuild-kdump-initrd with call to mkdumprd
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#107].
* Add support for libmount 2.39. The behaviour change was not intended
  and will be changed in 2.39.1 (see [gh#util-linux/util-linux#2326],
  but it was easy to fix it anyway.
* Honor LIBMOUNT_DEBUG variable for additional output.

Version 4.2.1
* Add backwards compatibility with older snapper releases, otherwise
  the selfupdate may break if the installed snapper version is too old;
  requires snapper 0.8.10 as a minimal base (for rollbacks) now

Version 4.2.0
* Implement "apply" command to switch into new snapshot directly
* Use new snapper functionality to set default snapshot - this makes it
  possible to execute hooks as requested in [poo#127160],
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#85] and
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#105].
* Don't hardcode GRUB2 [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#85] /
  [poo#127154]
* Fix cleanup handler
* Fix unmounting temporary mounts
* Prevent loosing track of snapshots in certain rollback scenarios - these
  would not be marked for deletion otherwise
* Document "notify" reboot method

Version 4.1.5
* Add support for configuration file snippets

Version 4.1.4
* Workaround for broken Tumbleweed package libfdisk1

Version 4.1.3
* Suppress SELinux relabelling output in quiet mode
* Documentation readability improvements
 
Version 4.1.2
* Don't try to mount user mounts if they don't exist [boo#1207366]

Version 4.1.1
* Mount user specific binddirs last: Prevously the internal mounts would
  potentially overwrite user bind mounts [boo#1205011]
* selinux: Relabel shadowed /var files during update to make sure they
  don't interfere with the update [boo#1205937]
* Clean up /var/lib/overlay more aggressively [boo#1206947]
* tukit: Merge /etc overlay into parent if --discard is used together
  with --continue - previously the files were incorrectly always merged
  with the currently running system
* status: do not execute the status command if experimental
* Don't delete created mount point dirs any more
* Small code optimizations

Version 4.1.0
* t-u: Add a "setup-kdump" command; implements [jsc#PED-1441]
* Add support for ULP (Userspace Live Patching) [jsc#PED-1078]:
  * Export TRANSACTIONAL_UPDATE_ROOT (the path to the snapshot) in
    the update environment
  * Unfortunately requires a separate bind mount in /tmp again for the
    update environment, as libpulp has to be able to access the snapshot
    directly, without it being bind mounted on itself
* Add support for "notify" reboot method for desktop use
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#93]
* Fix kdump initrd recreation detection; the check was performed in the
  active snapshot instead of the target snapshot
* Document register command [bsc#1202900]
* Avoid unnecessary snapshots for register command [bsc#1202901]
* Various optimizations for register command
* Remove bogus error message when triggering reboot

* Fix incorrect manpage formatting
* Remove leftover "salt" reboot method in configuration example file
* Replace deprecated std::mem_fn with lambdas

Version 4.0.1
* create_dirs_from_rpmdb: Just warn if no default SELinux context found
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#88], [bsc#1188215]
* create_dirs_from_rpmdb: Don't update the rpmdb cookie on failure
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#88]
* Handle directories owned by multiple packages
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#90], [bsc#1188215]

Version 4.0.0
* Last minute interface change: Changed "List" method of Snapshot D-Bus
  interface to return a map of properties instead of a comma separated
  list of strings; this will allow retrieving the snapshot properties
  even if they contain a comma in their value
* Remove "Snapshot.hpp" as a public API for now - all public
  functionality is part of SnapshotManager.hpp
* Add header file documentation for SnapshotManager.hpp
* Add method to delete snapshot
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#52]
* Allow setting description of snapshot
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#55]
* create_dirs_from_rpmdb: set SELinux file context of missing directories
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#84], [bsc#1197242]
* Fix broken logrotate due to typo in config file
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#87]
* create_dirs_from_rpmdb: Fix handling return code of create_dirs()
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#86]
* Fix broken "shell" prompt after selfupdate

* Fixed typos

Version 4.0.0~rc4
* Fix building with GCC 12
* Fix stack overflow with very long commands / ids [bsc#1196149]
* Use separate mount namespace for chroot, allowing overwriting the bind
  mounts from the update environment - this could have lead to data loss
  of the bind mount previously
* Fix C error and exception handling for snapshots

Version 4.0.0~rc3
* Add Snapshot interface
* Reworked signal handling: All public signals are sent from the
  main thread now, keeping the same sender for everything

* Implement interface for listing Snapshots
* Implement Reboot interface
* Fix bug when using --continue on old snapshots
* Fix hypothetical integer overflow in snapshot list [bsc#1196826]

  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#80]

Version 4.0.0~rc2
* Fix missing prompt in "shell" command [bsc#1196580]
* Add output of tukit commands to log file
* Fix compilation error with GCC12 [boo#1194876]
* Fixed (non-critical) security review comments [boo#1196149]
* Fixed selfupdate
* Code cleanup

Version 4.0.0~rc1
This release is API, but not ABI compatible with previous releases;
existing applications will have to be recompiled against this new
version.
Major features:
* Introduces a D-Bus service to access the libtukit API via the
  org.opensuse.tukit.Transaction interface
* Introduces a C binding via libtukit.h.
Other changes:
* t-u: Rework --quiet handling to make sure no output is shown even in
  error cases; this is necessary for automation, e.g. with Salt.
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#73]
* tukit: Allow storing command output into variable by introducing a new
  optional parameter for "execute" and "callExt".
* Replace multiple and non-standalone occurenses of {} in "callExt"
  argument.
* Split transactional-update.timer into transactional-update.timer
  and transactional-update-cleanup.timer; the later will clean up
  old snapshots even when the system does not do automatic updates.
* tukit: Remove legacy alias "setDiscard" for "setDiscardIfUnchanged".
* Throw exception if snapshot is not found.
* Fix various compiler warnings

Version 3.6.2
* Bind mount root file system snapshot on itself, this makes the
  temporary directory in /tmp unnecessary; also fixes [boo#1188110]
  to return the correct snapshot's working directory via API call.
* Use separate mount namespace for transactional-update; this should
  fix several applications that fail to run if a mount point has the
  'unbindable' mount flag set

Version 3.6.1
* Fix rsyncing /etc into the running system with --drop-if-no-change
  [bsc#1192242]

Version 3.6
* Simplify mount hierarchy by just using a single slave bind mount as
  the root of the update environment; this may avoid the error
  messages of failed unmounts

Version 3.5.7
Various fixes affecting Salt support:
* t-u: Don't squash stderr messages into stdout
* t-u: Correctly handle case when the snapshot has been deleted due to
  using --drop-if-no-change: Don't show reboot messages and avoid an awk
  error message [bsc#1191475]
* tukit: Make inotify handler less sensitive / ignore more directories
  [bsc#1191475]

Version 3.5.6
* tukit: Add S/390 bootloader support [bsc#1189807]
* t-u: support purge-kernels with t-u patch [bsc#1190788]

Version 3.5.5
* t-u: Use tukit for SUSEConnect call [bsc#1190574]

Version 3.5.4
* t-u: Fix resolved support [boo#1190383]

Version 3.5.3
* t-u: Purge kernels as part of package operations
  Required for live patching support [bsc#1189728]

Version 3.5.2
* tukit: Fix overlay syncing errors with SELinux [bsc#1188648]
  "Transactional update fails with SELinux enabled: rsync: rsync_xal_set:
  lremovexattr failed: Permission denied (13)"
* t-u: Don't print message for `shell` with --quiet
  [gh#openSUSE/transactional-update#69]
  "Some output remains despite --quiet"

Version 3.5.1
* t-u: Disable status file generation by default
  The new experimental `status` command requires the availability of
  /etc/YaST2/control.xml, which is not present on all systems. Hide the
  creation of the corresponding status file behind a new EXPERIMENTAL_STATUS
  option to try out this functionality.
* Increase library version

Version 3.5.0
* Add alias setDiscardIfUnchanged for setDiscard. The old method name
  wasn't really clear and will be removed if we should have an API break
  in the future
* Replace mkinitrd with direct dracut call [boo#1186213]
* tukit: Add configuration file support (/etc/tukit.conf)
* Allow users to configure additional bind mounts (see /usr/etc/tukit.conf
  for an example and limitations) [bsc#1188322]
* Add 'transactional-update status' call. This is a POC for obtaining a
  hash of a system to verify its integrity. The functionality is still
  experimental!
* Internal bugfixes / optimizations

Version 3.4.0
* Apply SElinux context on /etc in transaction [boo#1185625], [boo#1185766]
  [bsc#1186842], [boo#1186775]
* Implement inotify handling in C instead of Bash; this makes the
  --drop-if-no-change option work on SLE Micro [bsc#1184529]
* Use `tukit call` for up, dup and patch to allow resuming an update after
  zypper updated itself in the snapshot [bsc#1185226]
* Fix obsolete output type messages in initrd [boo#1177149]
* Make different base snapshot warning more visible [bsc#1185224]

Version 3.3.0
* Add support for more package managers by bind mounting their directories
* Support snapshots without dedicated overlay [boo#1183539], [bsc#1183539]
* Link RPM database correctly with older zypper versions [boo#1183521]
* Don't discard manual changes in fstab [boo#1183856]

Version 3.2.2
* Don't skip patches with rebootSuggested flag

Version 3.2.1
* t-u: Forward --quiet option to tukit
* Regression: Add /opt as bind mount into update environment
* Remove output indicators of the called command to not tamper the result
  line
* Fix /etc syncing with --drop-if-no-change

Version 3.2.0
* tukit: Add new command 'callext' to execute an application while the
  snapshot is mounted. '{}' as a parameter will be replaced with the path
  of the bind mount.
* Fix --drop-if-no-change [boo#1182525]
* Check whether self-updated version is executable (e.g. on noexec /tmp)
  [bsc#1173842]
* Fix overlay synchronisation with SELinux (again)
* Always overwrite supplemental files (e.g. for network configuration)
  even if they exist in the snapshot already [boo#1182544]
* Improve logging and error messages

Version 3.1.4
* SELinux: Fix syncing of SELinux attributes when using overlays
* SELinux: Tag the overlay directory itself (again)

Version 3.1.3
* Fix overlay syncing on SELinux systems
* Fix resuming transactions where the parent does not exist any more

Version 3.1.2
* libtukit: Report when application was terminated due to a signal, and
  return the signal number as a return value. This will cause the
  transaction to be aborted when called via `execute`.
* libtukit: Set PATH variable for internal commands to fixed value to
  find the helper applications, as in some environments such as PolicyKit
  PATH wouldn't be set.
* Fix compiler warnings

Version 3.1.1
* Fix hang in tukit on aarch64 [bsc#1181844]
* Prevent deletion of snapshots when resuming a snapshot where no transaction
  is open
* Make tukit work in non-dbus environments [boo#1181934]

Version 3.1.0
* t-u: Support installing RPMs from the user's directory again
* Adapt selfupdate to new packaging
* Implement signal handling
* Remove empty text files

Version 3.0.0
* This release changes the internal structure, but should be identical to the
  previous release feature wise.
* Major parts of the previous Bash only application have been rewritten in C++
  with the goal to provide an API around transactions; the transactional-update
  script is using that new interface internally already, however the API should
  be considered experimental for now - if you are interested to use it, please
  notify us in https://github.com/openSUSE/transactional-update/issues/52
* A new tool called "tukit" is providing a Shell wrapper for above
  functionality. Please also consider it experimental for now, the commands may
  still change.
* Bugfixes:
  * Implement support for system offline update [boo#1180808]
  * Add statistics files to update environment [boo#1173282]

Version 2.28.3
* SELinux: Make synchronisation work for both pre-SELinux snapshots and later
  snapshots; SELinux support should be ready for most tasks now.

Version 2.28.2
* SELinux: Exclude security.selinux attribute from rsyncing (again)

Version 2.28.1
* SELinux: Fixed changing the wrong grub configuration file
* SELinux: Move /.autorelabel file to writeable location

Version 2.28
* Add 'setup-selinux' command for easy setup of a SELinux system
* Allow complex commands for the 'run' command
* SELinux: Fix /etc / overlay labeling

Version 2.27
* Add support for network systemd-resolvd network connections in t-u
  environment

* Check that mount options don't exceed maximum length

Version 2.25.1
* Fix inotify watcher setup
* Use log_{info,error} for more messages to avoid messing up Salt logs

Version 2.25
* Reduce number of overlays:
  Instead of using transparent overlays for all previous layers only add the
  previous snapshot's overlay; this will greatly reduce the number of overlays
  while still making sure that /etc changes in the running system will be
  visible in the next snapshot
* When using --drop-if-no-change synchronize potential /etc changes with
  running system
* Exclude all non-root-fs mounts from inotify watcher

Version 2.24.1

  correctly.
* Fix removal of existing overlay directories

Version 2.20.3

  used to perform multiple operations before rebooting into the new state
* Make sure the dracut service to print warnings on /etc overlay conflicts
  also runs in the pre-made images

  directly [boo#1151081]
* Print new snapshot number at the end
* Always mount /root subvolume when using shell command to preserve history

Version 2.16
* Use default command if options, but no command was given [boo#1146116]
* Make sure only one process appears in `ps` output [boo#1111897]
* Move update check: If a new repository is added (and
  ZYPPER_AUTO_IMPORT_KEYS is set) adding the new repository key won't fail any
  more

  without changes more reliably (e.g. when installing an already installed
  package)
* Update the manpage accordingly
* Get rid of Perl dependency
* Building documentation requires Python 3 now
* Bugfixes:

* Adds easy rollback to last known working snapshot by using "last"
  as the snapshot number
* Migrate /etc/fstab.sys entires to /etc/fstab for systemd being
  able to create mount units; this will prevent errors on unmount
  during shutdown for /var and /etc
* Remove implicit --no-allow-vendor-change - this option can be
  configured in zypper's configuration file now
* Add support for mounting the /etc overlay file system as a systemd
  unit in /etc/fstab on a read-only system (replacing /etc/fstab.sys
  in the long run)
* Various bugfixes:

  (boo#1111321)

Version 2.10
* Introduce /etc overlays
  * Each root file system snapshot now has a dedicated /etc overlay in
    /var/lib/snapshots/<snapshot number>/etc
  * Changes in older snapshots will be visible in newer snapshots (if
    the file hasn't been changed in both snapshots), but not the other
    way around; this makes it possible to roll back to a previous
    snapshot even if the configuration is broken
  * The /etc state of the oldest active snapshot will be synchronized
    into the new snapshot to prevent ever growing overlays
  * Removed creation of /etc backup snapshots
  * Removed complex overlayfs cleanup handling during dracut early boot;
    only thing left is to output a warning if files have been changed
    in old and new overlay after snapshot creation
  * Unused overlays will be removed during "cleanup" operation
* Add compatibility with snapper >= 0.7.0
* Correctly detect BTRFS ID when using multiple snapper configurations
* Fix disappearing prompt in "shell" command when application was updated
* Prevent accidental rollback on fast reboots (boo#1111786)
* Use zypper attribute packages-to-change if available (boo#1105992 &
  boo#1097619)
* Add kexec as reboot alternative
* Added explicit --with-doc / --without-doc build configure opttions for
  enforcing or excluding documentation build
* Removed precompiled documentation (boo#1088676)
* Added more dependency checks to configure script
* Small improvements to documentation
* Restored compatibility with older rsync versions not supporting the -x
  filter
* Small bugfixes for cleanup in error situations
* Fix possible incorrect detection of snapshots numbers during cleanup
* Mention parent in snapshot description

Version 2.6
* Add --interactive and --non-interactive options to change the default
  interactivity for zypper calls. For previously non-interactive calls (e.g.
  dup) these options makes it possible to pick the correct solution in case
  of conflicts or make sure that a script will never be stuck at an input
  prompt.
* Add kured reboot support
* Tries to clean up temporary files and mount points if transactional-update
  quits unexpectedly
* Remove trancactional-update-helper (replaced by zypper options)
* Create /var/lib/zypp if not available (boo#1104452)
* Add compatibility with new zypper versions (boo#1105992)
* Various small fixes

Version 2.5
* Support for overlayfs attributes like trusted.overlay.opaque - this will
  avoid disappearing configuration files on system updates
* Documentation update
* Only sync /etc if it's on an overlayfs mount
* Use correct locale for zypper - thus updating locale specific packages and
  avoiding "empty" updates where transactional-update didn't see the change
