New images

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.
