The time for the release announcement of Leap 15.1 is approaching. I was asked to provide some list of highlights related to YaST. Some obvious things that come to mind are:
Look&Feel ========= - The sidebar with the steps of the installation process is back. - New icons everywhere. - Better HiDPI (4k Display) Support Installer improvements ====================== - Choosing the network backend during installation with one click. - Just click "next" to install (open)SUSE in a Raspberry Pi. - Configuration of SSH keys during installation (password-less systems) - Better default partitioning proposal in several scenarios (like small disks, systems with several disks and more). New Functionality ================= - Better management of services. - New UI to manage Firewalld, including AutoYaST support. - Better support for Salt formulas in yast2-configuration-management. - Better management of SSH keys per user. - The Partitioner can now directly format full disks, create software MD RAIDs on top of full disks, create partitions within a software-defined MD RAID and many others combinations. Including AutoYaST support for all those combinations. - Preliminary support for bcache in the Partitioner. I plan to expand those bullet points to be something bigger than a sentence (in the cases in which that makes sense), but first a wondered whether I was overlooking something interesting for the majority of final Leap 15.1 users.
