In advance of uploading to the archive to kick off the SRU process, I've uploaded testing packages to this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~superm1/+archive/ubuntu/lp1746114
** Description changed: [Impact] * Upstream has declared that 0.7.x is EOL - No further security updates will be performed for it. * Many crashers were fixed in 0.8.x. - * Upstream can better maintain fwupd ecosystem wide if Ubuntu (the last ones using 0.7.x release) move to 0.8.x - * Upstream spun this release specifically for getting Ubuntu xenial on a newer maintainable version. + * Upstream can better maintain fwupd ecosystem wide if Ubuntu (the last ones using 0.7.x release) move to 0.8.x or newer. + * Latest upstream release is 1.0.4 release, but moving to 0.9.x or 1.0.x is difficult due to many dependencies not present in Ubuntu 16.04. + * Upstream spun this release specifically for getting Ubuntu xenial on a newer maintainable version. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fwupd/R6UyaCtWbqo New Features: - Add --version option to fwupdmgr (Richard Hughes) Bugfixes: - Add a delay when calling update_prepare (Mario Limonciello) - Block owned Dell TPM updates (#339) (Mario Limonciello) - Catch invalid Dell dock component requests (Mario Limonciello) - Disable the dell plugin if libsmbios fails (Mario Limonciello) - Do not re-download firmware that exists in the cache (Richard Hughes) - Ensure the 8bitdo version is set in non-bootloader mode (Richard Hughes) - Fix a logic error with testing for a dell system (Mario Limonciello) - Fix compile with newer versions of GUdev (Richard Hughes) - Fix crash with dock connected but UEFI capsule off (Mario Limonciello) - Use new VID for 8bitdo (Richard Hughes) - [Test Case] * Use fwupdmgr to check for and apply a firmware update * Use gnome-software to check for and apply a firmware update [Regression Potential] * This is a point release of the 0.8.x release which has been deemed stable. * Potential regressions would more likely exist in gnome-software which uses fwupd's interfaces to perform firmware updates. * If a regression were to occur, gnome-software may crash or not display a firmware update anymore. ** Description changed: [Impact] * Upstream has declared that 0.7.x is EOL - No further security updates will be performed for it. * Many crashers were fixed in 0.8.x. * Upstream can better maintain fwupd ecosystem wide if Ubuntu (the last ones using 0.7.x release) move to 0.8.x or newer. - * Latest upstream release is 1.0.4 release, but moving to 0.9.x or 1.0.x is difficult due to many dependencies not present in Ubuntu 16.04. - * Upstream spun this release specifically for getting Ubuntu xenial on a newer maintainable version. + * Latest upstream release is 1.0.4 release, but moving to 0.9.x or 1.0.x is difficult due to many dependencies not present in Ubuntu 16.04. + * Upstream spun this point release specifically for getting Ubuntu xenial on a newer maintainable version. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fwupd/R6UyaCtWbqo New Features: - Add --version option to fwupdmgr (Richard Hughes) Bugfixes: - Add a delay when calling update_prepare (Mario Limonciello) - Block owned Dell TPM updates (#339) (Mario Limonciello) - Catch invalid Dell dock component requests (Mario Limonciello) - Disable the dell plugin if libsmbios fails (Mario Limonciello) - Do not re-download firmware that exists in the cache (Richard Hughes) - Ensure the 8bitdo version is set in non-bootloader mode (Richard Hughes) - Fix a logic error with testing for a dell system (Mario Limonciello) - Fix compile with newer versions of GUdev (Richard Hughes) - Fix crash with dock connected but UEFI capsule off (Mario Limonciello) - Use new VID for 8bitdo (Richard Hughes) [Test Case] * Use fwupdmgr to check for and apply a firmware update * Use gnome-software to check for and apply a firmware update [Regression Potential] * This is a point release of the 0.8.x release which has been deemed stable. * Potential regressions would more likely exist in gnome-software which uses fwupd's interfaces to perform firmware updates. * If a regression were to occur, gnome-software may crash or not display a firmware update anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746114 Title: Move xenial to fwupd 0.8.x branch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1746114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
