As of 07 July 2024 new images have been published.
These are an incremental refresh with new software. They bring various minor changes.
Changes
The biggest visible change is that core and minimal
rootfs tarballs are no longer distributed; you are expected
to use either the full or bootstrap tarballs. Any regular
installation is expected to use the base-full metapackage
at very least (unwanted components can be removed by masking
them in the apk world file).
The images are still based on GNOME 46 and kernel 6.6, but with all latest updates pulled in.
Otherwise, the images represent 3 months of software updates
in cports, which are reflected here.
Upcoming changes
Before the beta release, there will be at least one more image refresh. The beta release is expected most likely during the fall this year.
