Release Candidate1 pre-1.3.10, please report any issues, ASAP.
Many under-the-hood updates:
New toolchain: glibc 2.27, binutils 2.29.1, gcc 6.5.0, using
crosstool-ng-1.24.0
udev, now use eudev version 3.2.9
kmod, version 27, new package which replaces module-init-tools
** IMPORTANT NOTICE
-- AstLinux now only supports 64-bit, x86_64 architectures.
-- Current supported board types are: "genx86_64", "genx86_64-serial" and
"genx86_64-vm"
** The AstLinux Team is regularly upgrading packages containing security and
bug fixes as well as adding new features of our own.
-- Linux Kernel 3.16.85 (version bump), security and bug fixes
Kernel config: Add NAMESPACES and CGROUPS for Linux Containers
-- lxc, new package, add support for guest Linux Containers. Running Pi-hole
for example.
New rc.conf variables: LXC_BRIDGE0, LXC_STOP_TIMEOUT
More info:
https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:guest_lxc_container_main
-- unionfs, move from old kernel unionfs to FUSE unionfs version 2.1
To better secure the filesystem, now only '/etc' and '/stat' will be
read-write
over the read-only base firmware image. Previously '/' (everything)
was overlaid.
Additionally, mount ASTURW as /mnt/asturw instead of
/oldroot/mnt/asturw .
-- New rc.conf variable ASTERISK_RW_MODULES_DIR, give directory
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules/
read/write permissions, "yes" or "no", defaults to "no".
Example: If you had a codec_g729a.so module installed, you must define:
ASTERISK_RW_MODULES_DIR="yes"
Note: With AstLinux 1.3.8 and older this was implied to be "yes".
-- Asterisk 13.29.2 ('13se' version bump)
Older than latest Asterisk 13.x version but more tested, built
--without-pjproject
-- Asterisk 13.34.0 (version bump) and 16.11.1 (version bump)
-- OpenSSL, version bump to 1.1.1g, security fix: CVE-2020-1967
-- WireGuard VPN, module 1.0.20200623 (version bump), tools 1.0.20200513
