This is the changelog for Calamares. For each release, the major changes and
|
|
|
|
contributors are listed. Note that Calamares does not have a historical
|
|
|
|
changelog -- this log starts with version 3.2.0. The release notes on the
|
|
|
|
website will have to do for older versions.

Calamares version 3.2.61 is the last one to have updated CHANGES-3.2
|
|
|
|
in the *calamares* (e.g. development, or 3.3, branch). For changes
|
|
|
|
in the stable release branch, see CHANGES-3.2 in that branch.

This is the second community-maintainence release of Calamares 3.2.
|
|
|
|
It corrects a handful of bugs foud in the stable release. There
|
|
|
|
are also translation updates.

## Core ##
|
2022-08-07 14:56:19 +02:00
|
|
|
- The "About" and "Debug" buttons in a QWidgets-based panel were no
|
|
|
|
longer translated. This has been fixed (by re-using translations
|
|
|
|
of the same buttons from the QML module. #2030 (Thanks Anke)

## Modules ##
|
2022-08-07 14:56:19 +02:00
|
|
|
- *bootloader* Python code slipped in that was incompatible with
|
|
|
|
the minimum required Python version. #2033 (Thanks Adriaan)
|
2022-08-24 21:31:53 +02:00
|
|
|
- *locale* fixes a large regression introduced with 3.2.60, where
|
|
|
|
the location picked for many locales was not the same as in 3.2.59,
|
|
|
|
and generally peculiar (e.g. picking "English" led to "en_AG" which
|
|
|
|
is nice if you are in Bermuda, but not expected in the rest of the
|
|
|
|
world). #2008
|
2022-08-07 14:56:19 +02:00
|
|
|
- *luksopenswaphookcfg* Remove duplicate options. #1659 (Thanks Anke)

This is the first community-maintainence release of Calamares 3.2.
|
|
|
|
Somewhat ironically, all the commits in the branch come from
|
|
|
|
Adriaan de Groot -- the community is working in the 3.3 (*calamares*)
|
|
|
|
branch.

|
|
|
- *fstab* now warns when the mount options are empty (which is non-
|
|
|
|
sensical, and indicates that the configuration is bad).
|
|
|
|
- *locale* does a better job of preserving Catalan (Valencia)
|
|
|
|
across modules; previously it dropped the *Valencia*
|
|
|
|
after the locale module unless you specifically re-selected
|
|
|
|
`ca@valencia` in the locale module. (Reported by Lliurex)
|
|
|
|
- *welcome* now has text labels on the special buttons (nominally,
|
|
|
|
this is part of the core, but the *About* button was always on the
|
|
|
|
welcome page).

|
|
|
This is the final release of Calamares 3.2 where the release is from
|
|
|
|
the *calamares* branch -- that is, where the primary development
|
|
|
|
branch is also the branch being released regularly. Future releases
|
|
|
|
of the 3.2 series are bugfix-only, and no new feature development
|
|
|
|
or translations are expected. This is also the final release done
|
|
|
|
*as work-work* by the current maintainer.
|
|
|
|
|
2022-05-24 12:50:46 +02:00
|
|
|
## Core ##
|
2022-05-27 11:18:25 +02:00
|
|
|
- Prep-work for moving the *About Calamares* button to the panels,
|
2022-05-29 14:00:22 +02:00
|
|
|
rather than keeping it in the Welcome module. The about information
|
|
|
|
is somewhat more flexible now, so that a new maintainer can be added
|
|
|
|
easily without frustrating translators.
|
2022-05-29 16:14:34 +02:00
|
|
|
- The progress panels (both Widgets and QML) now have an About button
|
|
|
|
on them, showing the traditional *About Calamares* dialog.
|
2022-05-29 14:00:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- Translations for the (QML) slideshow were not being loaded correctly.
|
|
|
|
The log is now somewhat more informative when that fails.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2022-05-24 13:30:26 +02:00
|
|
|
- *fstab* can now be configured to put `/tmp` on a *tmpfs*, and this can
|
|
|
|
depend on it being on an SSD or not. Options applicable to `/tmp` can
|
|
|
|
be configured separately as well. #1818 (Thanks Arjen)
|
2022-05-24 12:52:27 +02:00
|
|
|
- *partition* now has some support for re-using LUKS partitions.
|
|
|
|
(Thanks Arjen)
|
2022-05-24 13:15:45 +02:00
|
|
|
- *partition* will cycle out a LUKS key if all the key slots are in use
|
|
|
|
and a new key is added, rather than crashing the installer. (Thanks Arjen)
|
2022-05-29 16:14:34 +02:00
|
|
|
- *welcome* and *welcomeq* have no *About* button anymore; this is now
|
|
|
|
available from the progress panel, since it's also not-really about the
|
|
|
|
distro itself.

# 3.2.58.2 (2022-05-24)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a extra-quick release for an issue that shows up when using a
|
|
|
|
swap **file** on a btrfs filesystem; the installation would fail with
|
|
|
|
a Python error, raised from btrfs-progs. Reported by Evan James, Erik
|
|
|
|
Dubois, TechXero.

# 3.2.58.1 (2022-05-20)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a hot-fix release for a regression in the *partition* module where
|
|
|
|
it was impossible to proceed unless *Encrypt system* was checked.

## Core ##
|
|
|
|
- Internal improvements to translations-setup means that Catalan (in the
|
|
|
|
Valencian dialect), Occitan (Lenga d'Oc) and Serbian (in Latin script)
|
|
|
|
are all better supported. Thanks Enrique.

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2022-05-18 11:47:28 +02:00
|
|
|
- *netinstall* Now displays entries with an empty name slightly differently.
|
|
|
|
An empty name is not generally useful, but in combination with
|
|
|
|
*immutable:true* and *selected:false* can be used to introduce separators
|
|
|
|
or descriptive comments into the list of packages.
|
|
|
|
- *partition* does not offer full-disk encryption when using ZFS. ZFS and the
|
|
|
|
way Calamares sets up FDE don't mix well. (Thanks Evan)
|
|
|
|
- *partition* Various bugs related to LUKS have been fixed. (Thanks Arjen)
|
2022-05-09 15:01:49 +02:00
|
|
|
- *users* module now has a structured *user* key with settings specific
|
|
|
|
to the user (shell, in particular). This maintains backwards compatibility
|
|
|
|
with the *userShell* key.
|
|
|
|
- *users* module now has lists of forbidden login- and host-names, to
|
|
|
|
avoid settings that will mess up the install (e.g. using a login-name
|
|
|
|
that is one of the system's reserved names). #1944

## Core ##
|
2022-05-04 11:00:01 +02:00
|
|
|
- Calamares can now be started in Serbian (Latin Script) and Catalan
|
|
|
|
(Valencia) when the LANG environment variable is set to values
|
|
|
|
that indicate those languages.
|
2022-04-23 13:33:49 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
|
|
|
- *fstab* and *luksbootkeyfile* have better support for an **un**encrypted
|
|
|
|
`/boot` partition. #1931 (thanks Arjen)
|
2022-04-23 21:29:00 +02:00
|
|
|
- *packagechooser* and *packagechooserq* can now be given a custom name
|
|
|
|
in the side-panel. #1932 (thanks Victor)

# 3.2.56 (2022-04-22) #
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of this release, Calamares 3.2 development is winding down. The
|
|
|
|
reason is simple: systems where the backwards-compatibility of Calamares
|
|
|
|
3.2 is important are becoming increasingly difficult to work with
|
|
|
|
for **other** reasons. Foremost among these are deprecated versions
|
|
|
|
of dependencies and tools. Calamares 3.2 branch remains open for
|
|
|
|
bugfixes and will see a few more releases, but development is now
|
|
|
|
shifting wholesale to the newer generation.

- *users* module has rearranged configuration for setting the hostname.

Legacy settings are preserved, but produce a warning. Please see
|
|
|
|
`users.conf` for details.
|
2022-04-11 12:05:00 +02:00
|
|
|
- *users* module has a new hostname.location setting, *Transient*, which
|
|
|
|
will force the installed system to transient-hostname-setting by removing
|
|
|
|
the file `/etc/hostname`.
|
2022-04-11 14:26:29 +02:00
|
|
|
- *users* module has a new hostname.template setting, which allows some
|
|
|
|
tweaking of how the hostname suggestion is constructed. In particular,
|
|
|
|
it can be configured to use the current hostname (whatever that may be).
|
|
|

See the example `users.conf` for details on available keys.

|
- *bootloader* now knows about loongarch64 and can install suitable EFI
|
|
|
|
files for this CPU type. (Thanks Huang Jia Wen)
|
|
|
|
- Progress reporting for `pacman` from the *packages* module has been switched
|
|
|
|
off. The progress reporting works under low load, but there are many reports
|
|
|
|
of it crashing (from XeroLinux and from Evan James, who has been debugging
|
|
|
|
the issue) during a regular installation with thousands of updates. This
|
|
|
|
will be revisited in the next release.
|
|
|
|
- The *umount* module was buggy and did not actually unmount anything.

- *fstab* recognizes nvme and mmc devices correctly as SSDs now. #1883
|
|
|
|
- *luksbootkeyfile* handles trailing slashes in mount point
|
|
|
|
- *partition* can be built with a new `SKIP` option, which skips
|
|
|
|
the actual formatting steps but does not fail. The old `LAME`
|

option is renamed `BAIL_OUT`.

configuration if you previously used the copy-a-log functionality.

## Core ##
|
2022-01-31 12:22:48 +01:00
|
|
|
- Evan has made a start on documenting which Global Storage keys there
|
|
|
|
are and how they tie modules together. This can be found in the
|
|
|
|
`src/modules/README.md` documentation.

|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2022-01-31 12:22:48 +01:00
|
|
|
- *bootloader* can now be configured to try to generate a unique
|
|
|
|
suffix for the bootloader-id. #1820
|
|
|
|
- *grubcfg* now has a configurable default for kernel parameters,
|
|
|
|
which allows distributions to change the value from `quiet`.
|
|
|
|
The default, if nothing is set, remains `quiet`. Use an explicitly-
|
|
|
|
empty list to specify no-arguments-at-all.
|
2022-01-31 12:55:54 +01:00
|
|
|
- *packagechooser* can now export its choices for use by the *netinstall*
|
|
|
|
module. This makes it possible to use *packagechooser* for large-scale
|
|
|
|
choices, followed by *netinstall* for fine-grained control. (Thanks Evan)
|
2022-02-01 11:33:20 +01:00
|
|
|
- When the *partition* module has a conflicting configuration for the
|
|
|
|
swap choices, it prints a warning and uses the configured choice, rather
|
|
|
|
than always using "suspend". #1881
|
2022-01-18 13:28:45 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *umount* module has been re-written in C++. The copy-a-log-file
|
|
|
|
functionality has been removed. Use the *preservefiles* module for that.

|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2022-01-12 11:28:34 +01:00
|
|
|
- *initcpiocfg* mentioned a special kernel-name "all", which did not work,
|
|
|
|
and a special kernel-name "$uname" which cannot work. Fixed the former
|
|
|
|
and removed the "$uname" special key. (Thanks Evan)
|
|
|
|
- *luksswaphookcfg* has been converted to a C++ module.
|
2021-12-11 15:31:59 +01:00
|
|
|
- *networkcfg* could fail to update the NetworkManager configuration
|
|
|
|
if the SSID or username contained non-ASCII characters **and** the
|
|
|
|
default Python text-file encoding was set to ASCII. The files are
|
|
|
|
now read and written in UTF-8, explicitly. #1848
|
2022-01-17 14:50:37 +01:00
|
|
|
- *partition* always sets *bigtime* option on XFS filesystems, if possible.
|
|
|
|
Requires sufficiently-recent xfsprogs. #1874
|
2021-12-13 16:56:32 +01:00
|
|
|
- *preservefiles* was missing some necessary features, needed for it
|
|
|
|
to replace the deprecated log-file-saving functionality in the *umount*
|
|
|
|
module. (Thanks Erik and Joe for testing) #1851
|
2022-01-12 11:28:34 +01:00
|
|
|
- *umount* is now marked as an emergency module in the example configuration,
|
|
|
|
since it should **probably** be run as a cleanup. (Thanks Evan)
|
2022-01-17 13:19:25 +01:00
|
|
|
- *welcome* and *locale* could be confusing, together, and configure
|
|
|
|
the target system with a language that does not match the installer
|
|
|
|
language, even though the user did not make any explicit choice.
|
|

## Core ##

|
|
|
- Errors (e.g. when an installation fails for whatever reason) are displayed
|
|
|
|
in a dialog with a scrollable details panel, rather than growing up
|
|
|
|
to the size of the screen. (Thanks Artem)

## Modules ##
|
2021-12-10 15:46:11 +01:00
|
|
|
- *bootloader* better supports multiple installations of the same OS.
|
|
|
|
- *mount* supports btrfs subvolumes on subdirectories of / now.
|
2021-12-06 10:29:16 +01:00
|
|
|
- *partition* now supports "deep" btrfs subvolume names, e.g. a
|
|
|
|
separate subvolume for `/usr/local`. (Thanks Evan)
|
2021-12-05 02:26:23 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *umount* module now warns if the "preserve log file" feature is used.
|
|
|
|
This has been deprecated for a long time: use the *preservefiles* module
|
|
|
|
instead. A future release will turn this into an error.

## Core ##
|
2021-11-29 15:09:20 +01:00
|
|
|
- Python modules now have `warn()` and `error()` methods they can call,
|
|
|
|
alongside the existing `debug()` and `warning()` (all live in the
|
|
|
|
*libcalamares.utils* module).
|
|
|
|
- Python modules can load YAML files via `libcalamares.utils.load_yaml()`.
|
|
|
|
This may be the most useful for test-scripts.
|
2021-11-19 14:55:29 +01:00

|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2021-11-29 17:06:10 +01:00
|
|
|
- *fstab* now has a separate, special, flags-setting for swap subvolumes
|
|
|
|
on btrfs. A swap subvolume is created if a swap **file** (not a separate
|
|
|
|
partition) is selected in the auto-partitioning page. (Thanks Evan)
|
2021-12-03 23:47:16 +01:00
|
|
|
- When using btrfs, the *mount* module creates subvolumes. It was not
|
|
|
|
possible to **avoid** having a subvolume name created for the root.
|
|
|
|
This is now possible. #1837
|
2021-11-29 15:09:20 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *packages* module now has some special settings for the `pacman`
|
|
|
|
package manager (generally used on Arch-derivatives). This allows
|
|
|
|
tweaking of the installation process, if downloads are slow or
|
|
|
|
packages may fail to install. See the `packages.conf` file for
|
|
|
|
details. (Thanks Evan)

## Core ##
|
|
|
|
- The translation for Sinhala (`si`) has reached 100%. Thank you to
|
|
|
|
හෙළබස and Sandaruwan, translators for Sinhala, for special effort
|
|
|
|
in completing that translation.
|
2021-11-16 15:33:42 +01:00
|
|
|
- Logging now supports Redacted names. This reduces the scope for
|
|
|
|
leaking names or other private information through the logs
|
|
|
|
(if they are posted to a pastebin). A name is redacted consistently
|
|
|
|
within one run of Calamares, but differently each time.

## Modules ##
|
2021-11-19 11:34:35 +01:00
|
|
|
- *bootloader* with systemd-boot now handles root subvolumes better
|
|
|
|
(Thanks Evan)
|
2021-11-15 12:27:21 +01:00
|
|
|
- *displaymanager* supports the *greetd* display manager, which is a
|
|
|
|
kind of meta-DM itself, supporting multiple greeters. (Thanks Jonas)
|
2021-11-15 11:27:20 +01:00
|
|
|
- *finishedq* now has an extra example QML file that builds the UI in
|
|
|
|
a different fashion, demonstrating how a mobile-OS customization of
|
|
|
|
Calamares would present the "all done" message.
|
|
|
|
- *fstab* has an example configuration file that mentioned `space_cache`
|
|
|
|
as an option. Since 2014 there was only one possible value, so this
|
|
|
|
option matched the default-and-only value. Newer kernels with newer
|
|
|
|
btrfs versions have a `v2` option value as well. Remove the example
|
|
|
|
option, since the kernel automatically picks the right value, while
|
|
|
|
setting it to the wrong one may prevent the system from booting.
|
|
|
|
(Thanks Evan)
|
2021-11-16 15:33:42 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *partition* module no longer logs recognizable disk names or
|
|
|
|
UUIDs. These are redacted in the logs. #1593
|
2021-11-19 11:34:35 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *partition* module, together with the new *zfs* module and changes
|
|
|
|
in *mount* and *bootloader* can install to ZFS **if** the distribution
|
|
|
|
kernel supports it. ZFS tools are required, as well as the relevant
|
|
|
|
kernel modules. See the `README.md` in the *zfs* module. (Thanks Evan)

## Core ##
|
2021-11-09 11:32:06 +01:00
|
|
|
- A new core class `Runner` is now responsible for running commands
|
|
|
|
either in the host or in the target system. This is invisible for
|
|
|
|
end-users, but **does** expand the API available to consumers inside
|
|
|
|
Calamares modules. In particular, Python modules can now easily read
|
|
|
|
and respond to command output. #1740
|
2021-11-01 14:54:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2021-11-09 11:32:06 +01:00
|
|
|
- *fstab* writes a slightly different message in `/etc/crypttab`
|
|
|
|
about the root filesystem. Since Calamares itself ignores the
|
|
|
|
(previous wording of) message, it was confusing. #1811
|
2021-11-09 15:29:23 +01:00
|
|
|
- *packages* module has some support for reporting progress while
|
|
|
|
the packages are installed. This depends on the package-manager itself
|
|
|
|
reporting useful progress information **and** the *packages* module having
|
|
|
|
support-code to interpret that progress. A proof-of-concept for `pacman`
|
|
|
|
has been implemented. #1582
|
2021-11-09 11:32:06 +01:00
|
|
|
- *partition* has a number of edge-cases for LVM and LUKS resolved. #1564 #1817
|
|
|
|
- *partition* module once again always offers `/boot` as a mount-point, even
|
|
|
|
when EFI would want `/boot/efi`. (Thanks Phil)
|
|
|
|
- *summary* had a regression and showed some descriptive texts twice.

rather than jagged. (#1807)

- *partition* module removes ZFS partitions directly. At install-time,

|
we think that the partitions should be handled separately from a
|
|
|
|
zpool that potentially includes those partitions. (Thanks Evan)

- *services-systemd* supports timers, e.g. for weekly trim on SSDs.

This is not a hotfix release, but a tiny-tiny incremental improvement
|
|
|
|
that fixes one hugely annoying -- user-facing message presenting
|
|
|
|
bytes as mebibytes -- bug in the partition module.

## Modules ##
|
|
|
|
- The *partition* module now consistently uses the configured EFI
|
|
|
|
partition size (defaults to 300MiB).
|
2021-10-04 11:44:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- Internal changes in the *summary* module to increase consistency
|
|
|
|
between *summary* and *summaryq*.

|
## Modules ##
|
2021-09-24 12:40:38 +02:00
|
|
|
- *initcpiocfg* has had a number of internal code-fixes, and now adds
|
|
|
|
the `consolefont` hook by default as well. (Thanks Shrinivas)
|
2021-09-23 11:08:11 +02:00
|
|
|
- Both *locale* and *keyboard* have received some tweaks for configurations
|
|
|
|
in India; unless the user selects otherwise, English is preferred.
|
2021-09-21 12:13:36 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *luksbootkeyfile* module was reported to be too quick to declare
|
|
|
|
a timeout when applying the keyfile. The timeout has been increased
|
|
|
|
to one minute. (Thanks whorfin)
|
2021-09-24 12:40:38 +02:00
|
|
|
- *networkcfg* tries harder to find the live-user login for re-working
|
|
|
|
networking settings. This fixes a regression on FerenOS, where the
|
|
|
|
installer was crashing because it could not find the live-user login.

## Core ##
|
2021-09-15 13:33:58 +02:00
|
|
|
- Translations have been made more consistent. In particular, some *OK*,
|
|
|
|
*Yes*, *No* and *Cancel* buttons that were previously untranslated
|
|
|
|
or "stuck" in the language that Calamares started in, are now
|
|
|
|
changed to the current language as selected in the welcome page.
|
2021-09-17 11:52:16 +02:00
|
|
|
- Documentation improvements from Joe Kamprad. A *sizeLimit* of zero
|
|
|
|
(which is the default if nothing is set in the branding configuration)
|
|
|
|
disables log uploads.

- The *keyboardq* module (QML-based UI for keyboard-layout-selection)
|
2021-09-17 12:40:55 +02:00
|
|
|
now features an interactive keyboard preview and has the

## Modules ##
|
2021-09-06 11:26:59 +02:00
|
|
|
- BTRFS partitions are no longer listed as "check in phase 2" in
|
|
|
|
the *fstab* module. (Thanks Nico)
|
2021-09-06 13:21:14 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *keyboard* module (and *keyboardq*) now pick an English layout
|
|
|
|
(with Rupee) for keyboards when the language is English and locale is India,
|
|
|
|
rather than Hindi layout.
|
2021-08-31 22:38:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *localeq* module had the i18n.qml rewritten to make it easier
|
|
|
|
to customize. A bug in the layout has been fixed, and the overall
|
|
|
|
look has been updated.
|
2021-08-23 17:37:08 +02:00
|
|
|
- *networkcfg* now translates the "live user" on an ISO to the regular
|
|
|
|
user on the installed system, so that network configuration changes
|
2021-08-30 22:34:57 +02:00
|
|
|
made in the live system are automatically used after installation. #1755
|
2021-08-26 17:23:14 +02:00
|
|
|
- *partition* no longer allows you to delete an extended partition with
|
2021-09-06 11:26:59 +02:00
|
|
|
children (which led to crashes). #1749 (Thanks Artem)
|
2021-08-30 22:34:57 +02:00
|
|
|
- *partition* complains in more detail about the state of the UEFI
|
|
|
|
boot partition (under manual partitioning schemes). #1761
|
2021-08-26 17:09:55 +02:00
|
|
|
- *welcome* can now check multiple URLs to determine if internet connectivity
|
|
|
|
is available. It is still recommended to check the distro home-page or
|
|
|
|
some special "ping" page of the distro, although that has some privacy
|
|
|
|
implications; using example.com or google.com may work as well. Listing
|
2021-08-30 22:34:57 +02:00
|
|
|
multiple URLs will ping each of them in turn until one succeeds. #1669
|
2021-08-31 22:38:48 +02:00
|
|
|
- The work to make a QML version available for all view modules is almost
|
|
|
|
completed. Two new QML modules have been added *packagechooserq* and *summaryq*.
|
|
|
|
Summaryq brings the option to present the summary page in a customizable
|
|
|
|
way, with a bit more of a contemporary look. Packagechooserq adds the option
|
|
|
|
to preselect an item and displays all options in one overview.

## Core ##
|
|
|
|
- The (re)translation framework has been internally re-vamped to be
|
|
|
|
less resource-intensive and to work with all QObjects, not just
|
|
|
|
widgets. Consumers of the translations framework are expected to
|
2021-07-30 12:54:47 +02:00
|
|
|
set up the event filter on the top-level widget(s) manually. Since
|
|
|
|
Calamares and the Calamares-test-applications have been adjusted already,
|
|
|
|
no further action is needed.
|
2021-07-24 12:01:30 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2021-07-31 00:26:19 +02:00
|
|
|
- When the *keyboard* module is activated, it no longer replaces
|
|
|
|
an explicit user choice (e.g. for a Belgian layout) by a guessed-for-
|
|
|
|
this-language layout (e.g. Danish if you're installing in Danish).
|
2021-07-30 12:54:47 +02:00
|
|
|
- Logic for handling installation lists has been moved around in the
|
|
|
|
*packages* module so that package managers can, in principle,
|
|
|
|
adjust how to handle critical and non-critical package lists.
|
|
|
|
- In the *partition* module, translation code has been simplified.
|
2021-07-24 12:01:30 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *usersq* module has had a fair bit of QML rewritten to make it easier
|
|
|
|
to customize the colors used by the module in a consistent way.
|
|
|
|
(Thanks Anke)
|
2021-07-30 12:54:47 +02:00
|
|
|
- *Welcome* now uses a translated message from the Config object,
|
|
|
|
increasing the sharing between widgets- and QML-modules.

## Core ##
|
2021-03-23 12:28:00 +01:00
|
|
|
- The CMake modules for consumption by external modules (e.g. the
|
|
|
|
calamares-extensions repository, but also any other modules built
|
|
|
|
by distro's for internal use) now support consistent skip-module
|
|
|
|
behavior and reporting. #1641 (one tiny part of this change)
|
|
|
|
- In global storage, the *filesystem_use* key now has an API in
|
|
|
|
libcalamares to systematically mark filesystem (types) as "in use"
|
|
|
|
or not. This, in turn, means that modules can depend on that information
|
|
|
|
for other work (e.g. removing drivers for unused filesystems). #1635
|
2021-04-23 22:49:26 +02:00
|
|
|
- The "upload log file" now has a configurable log-file-size. (Thanks Anubhav)
|
2021-03-19 14:37:38 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2021-06-28 21:59:13 +02:00
|
|
|
- *bootloader* can now install an aarch64 (ARM) compatible EFI GRUB. (Thanks Jia)
|
2021-03-23 12:28:00 +01:00
|
|
|
- *displaymanager* example configuration has been shuffled around a bit,
|
|
|
|
for better results when the live image is running XFCE. Also lists
|
|
|
|
more potential display managers. #1205 (Thanks Erik)
|
2021-06-25 23:57:59 +02:00
|
|
|
- *keyboard* now switches on an alternate `en_US` keyboard layout when
|
|
|
|
Arabic or Hebrew is selected as primary layout. (Thanks Omer)
|
2021-06-26 18:29:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- *localeq* now has a fully functional offline option (alongside the default
|
|
|
|
interactive map option, which requires internet).
|
2021-04-23 22:49:26 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *netinstall* module can now fall back to alternative URLs when
|
|
|
|
loading groups data. The first URL to yield a non-empty groups
|
|
|
|
collection is accepted. No changes are needed in the configuration. #1673
|
|
|
|
- *packagechooser* can now integrate with the *packages* module; that
|
|
|
|
means you can specify package names to install for a given selection,
|
|
|
|
and the regular package-installation mechanism will take care of it.
|
|
|
|
Legacy configurations that use *contextualprocess* are still supported.
|
|
|
|
See the `packagechooser.conf` file for details. #1550
|
2021-03-29 10:24:39 +02:00
|
|
|
- A long-neglected pull request from Lisa Vitolo for the *partition*
|
|
|
|
module -- allowing to set filesystem labels during manual partitioning --
|
|
|
|
has been revived and merged.
|
2021-06-22 01:01:40 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *partition* manager has had a long-standing bug with partition-flags
|
|
|
|
and manual partitioning resolved. This may help resolve some installation
|
|
|
|
issues on UEFI systems. #1724
|
2021-06-26 18:29:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- *usersq* is further implemented and can now be used for a successful install.
|
|
|
|
Not all warning messages available in the regular users module are implemented.

# 3.2.39.3 (2021-04-14) #
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A minor bugfix tweak release. Since this contains yet **another**
|
|
|
|
autologin-related fix, and there is nothing large enough to justify
|
|
|
|
a 3.2.40 release yet, add it to the growing tail of 3.2.39. (Reported
|
|
|
|
by Joe Kamprad, #1672). Also fixes a regression from 3.2.28 in
|
|
|
|
localized packages (e.g. *package-LOCALE* did not work).

also fixed. (Reported by pcrepix, #1668)

This hotfix release corrects a regression in the *displaymanager*
|
|
|
|
module caused by changes in the *users* module; autologin was
|
|
|
|
internally renamed and no longer recognized by the *displaymanager*
|
|
|
|
module. (Reported by Erik Dubois, #1665)

## Core ##
|
2021-03-19 14:37:38 +01:00
|
|
|
- A *packages* service has been added to the core, for use by
|
|
|
|
*netinstall* module and any others that need to set up
|
|
|
|
package information for the *packages* module.

## Modules ##
|
2021-03-14 23:46:11 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *mount* module has gained a configurable setup for btrfs volumes.
|
|
|
|
If your distro has a default-to-btrfs setup, it can skip the hard-
|
|
|
|
coded setup (which Calamares has had for a long time with @home
|
|
|
|
and similar) and introduce a custom btrfs configuration through the
|
2021-03-19 13:25:45 +01:00
|
|
|
`mount.conf` file. See issues #1659 and #1661 for warnings about
|
|
|
|
using this in production.
|
2021-02-08 15:36:27 +01:00
|
|
|
- *netinstall* now supports fallbacks for the groups data.
|
|
|
|
Instead of a single URL, multiple URLs may be specified in
|
|
|
|
a list and Calamares goes through them until one is successfully
|
|
|
|
retrieved. Older configurations with a single string are
|
|
|
|
treated like a one-item list. #1579
|
2021-03-15 12:51:42 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *usersq* module now connects to the internal configuration
|
|
|
|
object and may be usable for regular installations.

# 3.2.38.1 (2021-03-15) #
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This hotfix release is for this item in the release notes of 3.2.38:
|
|
|
|
- The .desktop file for Calamares now makes a longer trip, calling
|
|
|
|
`sh -c "pkexec calamares"`; distributions may still need to adjust.
|
2021-03-15 12:02:45 +01:00
|
|
|
The change had been lost while updating other files. It has been restored
|
|
|
|
in `calamares.desktop` and `calamares.desktop.in`. (Reported by Erik)
|
|
|
|
Other minor changes and fixes:
|
|
|
|
- presets in the *users* module show the hostname, too,
|
|
|
|
- translations update for Korean, Ukranian and Chinese (zh_TW).

## Core ##
|
2021-03-05 12:28:19 +01:00
|
|
|
- Uploading your log files (in case of installation failure) has been
|
2021-03-09 14:22:13 +01:00
|
|
|
expanded and is now more configurable. Users should still take care
|
|
|
|
when uploading logs, and distro's should configure a URL with
|
|
|
|
no public viewing of those logs. (Thanks Anubhav)
|
2021-03-14 16:05:04 +01:00
|

- The .desktop file for Calamares now makes a longer trip, calling

## Modules ##
|
2021-03-05 12:28:19 +01:00
|
|
|
- A new QML-based *finishedq* module has been added. (Thanks Anke)
|
2021-03-14 21:49:15 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *packages* module no longer supports *urpmi*; no Calamares-
|
|
|
|
consumers with that package manager seem to exist. (Thanks Neal)
|
2021-03-12 13:10:48 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *users* module now can set a fixed username and prevent editing.
|
2021-03-14 14:37:52 +01:00
|
|
|
The *presets* configuration entry in `users.conf` can set a *loginName*
|
|
|
|
and a *fullName* and (independently) enable or disable editing of
|
|
|
|
that value. You can, for instance, set *loginName* to "manjaro" if
|
|
|
|
you like; the user can change it afterwards. You could set the
|
|
|
|
*loginName* to "oem" and prevent editing it as well. #942

## Core ##
|
2021-02-23 16:33:47 +01:00
|
|
|
- Calamares has a table of 'best guess' languages for each country
|
|
|
|
and when GeoIP is enabled, it will automatically select that
|
|
|
|
country's language as default -- the user can of course pick
|
|
|
|
a different one. The 'best guess' is based on Unicode / ISO
|
|
|
|
data, which is sometimes dubious. Based on some personal notes,
|
|
|
|
the 'best guess' language for Belarus has been changed to Russian.
|
|
|
|
- Calamares has a table of 'best guess' keyboard mappings,
|
|
|
|
allowing native language input. However, usernames and
|
|
|
|
passwords should be in US-ASCII (this is a limitation of
|
|
|
|
the login system -- **some** parts of the system will support
|
|
|
|
non-ASCII input, but it's better safe than sorry).
|
|
|
|
Add Greek to the list of languages that needs US-ASCII
|
|
|
|
in addition to native input.
|
|
|
|
- The CI infrastructure now builds Calamares and Calamares-extensions
|
|
|
|
on a nightly basis.

## Modules ##
|
2021-02-23 16:33:47 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *netinstall* module has a YAML schema, allowing packagers
|
|
|
|
to validate and verify their netinstall configurations before
|
|
|
|
shipping an ISO (or writing bug reports). Thanks benne-dee.
|
|
|
|
- The *finished* module has been heavily refactored, opening
|
|
|
|
the way to a QML-based version of the same module. This is
|
|
|
|
also preparatory work for allowing packagers (e.g. PostmarketOS)
|
|
|
|
to customize the messages on the finished page.

## Core ##
|
2021-01-18 16:44:23 +01:00
|
|
|
- It is now possible to hide the *next* and *back* buttons during
|
2021-01-20 23:49:09 +01:00
|
|
|
the "exec" phase of installation. Thanks Anubhav.
|
|
|

|
## Modules ##
|
2021-02-02 16:36:56 +01:00
|
|
|
- *bootloader* now uses the current file names for the UEFI Secure Boot
|
|
|
|
shim instead of obsolete ones.
|
2021-01-20 23:49:09 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *mount* module creates swap in its own subvolume, if btrfs is used.
|
|
|
|
Thanks Matti.
|
2021-01-18 16:44:23 +01:00
|
|
|
- *partition* includes more information about what it will do, including
|
|
|
|
GPT partition types (in human-readable format, if possible). Thanks Gaël.
|
|
|
|
- Some edge-cases with overlay filesystems have been resolved in the
|
|
|
|
*partition* module. Thanks Gaël.
|
|
|
|
- During the creation of filesystems and partitions, automounting is
|
|
|
|
turned off (if DBus is available, and the host system supports
|
2021-01-20 15:08:06 +01:00
|
|
|
KDE Solid automount control). This should reduce the number of
|
2021-01-18 16:44:23 +01:00
|
|
|
failed installations if automount grabs partitions while they are
|
2021-01-20 15:08:06 +01:00
|
|
|
being created. The code is prepared to handle other ways to control
|
|
|
|
automount-behavior as well.

|
|
|
where `/boot` is not encrypted, but the rest of the system is.
|
|
|
|
- The *plasmalnf* module has been substantially rewritten, so that it
|
|
|
|
can support a QML version of the module in future. The UI has changed
|
|
|
|
a little, and now displays more themes than before.

|
|
- The *keyboard* module had a regression in which it no-longer painted
|
|
|
|
the keycaps in the keyboard preview. (reported by Vinnie)
|
|
|
|
- The *plasmalnf* module did not set all of the look-and-feel values

|
in the target system. (reported by Bluestar Linux)
|
2020-11-10 12:08:49 +01:00
|
|
|
- In the *users* module, warnings about the strength of the password
|
|
|
|
are now correctly pluralized when possible.
|
|
|
|
- In the *users* module, if ICU is installed, the user's full name is
|
|
|
|
automatically transliterated to US-ASCII (for some locales; this will
|
|
|
|
need tweaking) so that the login name is acceptable. (Thanks Artem)

## Core ##
|
2020-10-24 02:31:38 +02:00
|
|
|
- Calamares now sets the C++ standard for compilation to C++17; this
|
|
|
|
is for better compatibility and fewer warnings when building with
|
|
|
|
modern KDE Frameworks and KPMcore 4.2.0.

## Modules ##

|
|
|
- The *initcpiocfg* module should support plymouth with encryption
|
|
|
|
now. (Thanks Matti)
|
2020-10-28 17:07:19 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *keyboard* and *keyboardq* modules now share backend code
|
|
|
|
and handle non-ASCII layouts better (for setting passwords
|
2020-11-02 14:10:35 +01:00
|
|
|
and usernames). (Thanks Artem)
|
|
|
|
- Various cleanups and documentation improvements in the *partition*
|
|
|
|
module, and configurable GPT name for swap. (Thanks Gaël)
|
2020-11-04 23:36:33 +01:00
|
|
|
- A long-standing bug related to GPT partition flags in the
|
|
|
|
*partition* module has been resolved. #1327 #1267
|
2020-11-03 11:52:23 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *users* module now has a more detailed way to specify
|
|
|
|
user groups -- which may be system groups rather than user-GIDs.
|
|
|
|
A new option in each group can require that the group already
|
|
|
|
exists in the target system, allowing for better consistency checks
|
2020-11-03 15:01:13 +01:00

This is a release to address source-incompatible changes in KPMcore 4.2.0,
|
|
|
|
which was released just before Calamares 3.2.32 and had not yet been
|
|

|
compile-tested. There is also one changed message in the translations,
|
|

|
- When doing GeoIP lookups, Calamares pretends to be Firefox.
|
|
|
|
This resolves an issue where the GeoIP provider was refusing
|
|
|
|
QNAM connections with the default User-Agent.
|
|

## Modules ##
|
2020-10-16 16:39:58 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *netinstall* module has some tricky configuration files;
|
|
|
|
it now complains about more cases of bad syntax or poor structure.
|
2020-10-12 14:16:11 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *partition* module can now be constrained to work only with
|
|
|
|
a particular kind of partition table. (thanks Gaël)
|
|
|
|
- The *partition* module is a little more resilient to variations
|
|
|
|
in btrfs notation from os-prober.
|
2020-10-13 01:44:57 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *shellprocess* module now supports having a different progress
|
|
|
|
message (other than "Shell Processes Job") through the config file.

## Core ##
|
2020-10-06 22:31:41 +02:00
|
|
|
- At the start of the *exec* phase, an overview is given of the
|
|
|
|
various job weights, which allows you to tweak the overall
|
|
|
|
progress reporting during the installation.
|
2020-10-06 23:17:42 +02:00
|
|
|
- Problems with running Calamares on a 1-core single CPU have been resolved.

## Modules ##
|
2020-09-09 12:13:26 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *keyboard* module now recognizes Turkish "F" layout and
|
|
|
|
will set the vconsole keyboard layout correctly even if xkb
|
|
|
|
keymaps are not found.
|
2020-09-15 16:51:32 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *machineid* module, which generates UUIDs for systemd and dbus
|
|
|
|
and can generate entropy files (filled from `/dev/urandom` in the host
|
|
|
|
system) now supports more than one entropy file; generate them as needed
|
2020-10-06 13:42:17 +02:00
|
|
|
(or copy a fixed value to all, depending on *entropy-copy*). Deprecate
|
|
|
|
*entropy* (which generates a specific output file) as too inflexible.
|
2020-10-06 22:25:14 +02:00
|
|
|
- In the *partition* module, swap can now be chosen as *file*, which is
|
|
|
|
**not** create a swap partition, but write a `/swapfile` in the root
|
|
|
|
directory, 512MiB large, and set that as swap. There is as yet no
|
|
|
|
"smarts" about the size of the swap file.
|
2020-10-06 22:31:41 +02:00
|
|
|
- Multiple problems in the *partition* module around partition
|
|
|
|
sizing have been resolved by Corentin Noël.
|
|
|
|
- The *preservefiles* module documentation did not match the functionality,
|
|
|
|
and when used, didn't work right. #1521 (thanks kadler15)
|
2020-10-06 13:42:17 +02:00
|
|
|
- Progress reporting from the *unpackfs* module has been revamped:
|
|
|
|
it reports more often now, so that it is more obvious that files
|
|
|
|
are being transferred even when the percentage progress does not
|
|
|
|
change.
|
|
|
|
- The *unpackfs* module now supports a *weight* setting for each
|
|
|
|
of the unpack entries. For a single entry this does not matter,
|
|
|
|
but if there are multiple entries it allows tweaking the relative
|
|
|
|
progress between each entry.

This release has two giant source-code changes that have no effect
|
|
|
|
on functionality, but do touch each and every source file:
|
|
|
|
- SPDX headers for licensing information, following the standard
|
|
|
|
set by REUSE.software ; all source files and resources have
|
|
|
|
SPDX-License-Identifier information and copyright notices. All
|
|
|
|
of the boilerplate texts have been removed.
|
|
|
|
- Calamares coding style has been mechanically applied to the entire
|
|
|
|
codebase. This was already done to most of it, but there were
|
|
|
|
some hold-outs.

## Core ##
|
2020-08-27 13:33:34 +02:00
|
|
|
- Network access status is deprecated in Qt 5.15's QNetworkAccessManager,
|
|
|
|
and was not useful already in some previous versions. Replace its
|
|
|
|
use in the Calamares network service by testing-it-ourself directly
|
|
|
|
via a synchronous ping. (Thanks to Asif)
|
|
|
|
- New Telugu translation. (Thanks to Sai)
|
2020-08-28 13:12:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Urdu translation started. (Thanks to Manzoor)
|
2020-09-03 15:03:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- Timezones translated in Tajik and Russian. (Thanks to Victor)

## Modules ##
|
2020-08-27 13:33:34 +02:00
|
|
|
- *keyboardq* and *localeq* improvements. (Thanks to Anke)
|
2020-08-28 23:50:23 +02:00
|
|
|
- *users* module did not set up autologin properly. This is yet another
|
|
|
|
regression left over from 3.2.28. (Reported by Phil and pcrepix, #1498)
|
2020-09-03 20:33:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- *welcome* module now sets the *LANG* key in the locale configuration
|
|
|
|
(which is shared with the *locale* module and consumed by the
|
|
|
|
*localecfg* module). This makes it feasible to drop the *locale*
|
|
|
|
module and still set the installed system's language to the language
|
|
|
|
selected in Calamares. (Reported by FerenOS)

|
|
- Edge case in extracting string-lists from YAML, reported and fixed
|
|
|
|
by Asif (#1491).
|
2020-08-19 16:32:06 +02:00
|
|
|
- Progress reporting is now more flexible. Modules can have a weight
|
|
|
|
assigned to them in the descriptor; module instances can have a weight
|
|
|
|
assigned which overrides the module descriptor. When jobs are run
|
|
|
|
for a module instance, the jobs report progress pro-rated by the
|
|
|
|
module's weight. Or in other words, it is now possible to tweak
|
|
|
|
the amount of the overall progress bar that different modules fill.
|
|
|
|
The default settings give unpackfs a weight of 12. (#1176)

- The *users* module did not read the *defaultGroups* correctly.
|

Fixed by the string-lists change mentioned above.

Another hotfix, for more issues reported by Marco Obaid. Users
|

were not having a password set (#1489)

# 3.2.28.2 (2020-08-12) #
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A second hotfix, for autologin support -- the autologin group was not
|
|
|
|
created in the target system before assigning the user to it. Reported
|
|
|
|
by Marco Obaid.

This is a hotfix release for #1482 and #1483, where no user was
|
|
|
|
created during installation and a chmod was failing (resulting in
|
|
|
|
a failed installation). Reported by Jonathan Riddell.
|
2020-08-10 18:21:36 +02:00

|
- A new object *Network* is available to QML modules in `io.calamares.core`.
|
|
|
|
It exposes network status through the *hasInternet* property.
|
2020-07-31 10:32:46 +02:00
|
|
|
- Welcome to Tajik translations. The Tajik language has quickly reached
|
2020-08-09 21:01:44 +02:00
|
|
|
100% completion. Thanks Victor!
|
2020-07-27 10:42:45 +02:00
|
|
|
- Welcome to [Interlingue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingue).
|
2020-08-09 21:01:44 +02:00
|
|
|
The translation is at an early stage. Qt does not support language
|
|
|
|
code *ie* though, so it may take some time to be integrated (much
|
|
|
|
like Esperanto wasn't supported until Qt 5.12).

|
|
## Modules ##
|
2020-07-24 12:26:02 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *locale* module has been completely redone on the inside.
|
|
|
|
Users should see no changes. #1391
|
|
|
|
- The *localeq* module uses the redone internals of the locale module.
|
|
|
|
It can now be used to set timezone, language and locale information
|
|
|
|
and is a suitable alternative module. Thanks to Anke Boersma who did
|
|
|
|
the work of figuring out maps. Note that the map uses several GeoIP
|
|
|
|
and GeoData providers and you may need to configure the URLs
|
|
|
|
with suitable usernames for those services. #1426
|
2020-07-27 10:42:45 +02:00
|
|
|
- Both *locale* and *localeq* can now be configured to use the system's
|
|
|
|
timezone setting -- this can be useful to avoid both hard-coding an
|
|
|
|
initial zone and doing extra GeoIP lookups, in the case where the
|
|
|
|
live system already does so. #1391
|
2020-08-09 21:01:44 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *locale* and *localeq* modules have additional machinery for
|
|
|
|
timezone lookups; please report cases where clicking on the map
|
|
|
|
returns an obviously bogus timezone (up until this release, for
|
|
|
|
instance, Cape Town).
|
2020-07-27 10:42:45 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *users* module no longer accepts `root` as a username. #1462
|
2020-07-27 11:17:00 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *keyboardq* module is now more inline with the look of the rest
|
|
|
|
of the Calamares modules, use of a background image is removed.
|
2020-08-09 21:01:44 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *grubcfg* module now understands `/etc/default/grub.d`. #1457

special case for full-screen Calamares -- now have margins suitable

|
|
for full-screen use.
|
|

- Welcome to Azerbaijani translations. These are available
|
|
|
|
in two variations, *Azerbaijani* and *Azerbaijani (Azerbaijan)*.
|
|
|
|
[Wikipedia Azerbaijani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_language#North_vs._South_Azerbaijani)

2020-06-16 13:12:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- The default branch for Calamares source repositories (calamares
|
|
|
|
and calamares-extensions) is now *calamares*.
|
2020-06-11 12:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
- External modules can now be built again, outside of the Calamares
|
|
|
|
source and build-tree.
|
2020-06-16 17:17:59 +02:00
|
|
|
- The repository *calamares-tools* has been removed. The idea behind
|
|
|
|
the tooling was to provide schema validation for Calamares configuration
|
|
|
|
files. This has been merged into the primary repository, where it
|
|
|
|
is now part of the test suite.

## Modules ##
|
2020-06-11 12:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
- *locale* put some more places into the correct timezone **visually**;
|
|
|
|
for instance Norfolk Island gave up UTC+11.5 in 2015 and is now
|
|
|
|
UTC+11, but Calamares still showed it in a zone separate from UTC+11.
|
2020-06-22 13:22:37 +02:00
|
|
|
- *localeq* can now properly switch between on & offline mode,
|
2020-06-18 15:53:38 +02:00
|
|
|
it detects internet status through js.
|
2020-06-11 12:42:51 +02:00
|
|
|
- *packages* gained support for the Void Linux package manager,
|
|
|
|
*xbps*. (thanks Pablo)
|
2020-06-18 13:39:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- *tracking* now supports kuserfeedback configuration.
|
2020-06-18 15:53:38 +02:00
|
|
|
- *welcomeq* added the GEOIP configuration option, so locale can be
|
|
|
|
initially set according to IP address.

## Core ##
|
2020-05-13 17:48:38 +02:00
|
|
|
- The slideshow in `branding.desc` can be configured with QML (recommended,
|
|
|
|
as it has been for the past umpteen releases) or with a list of
|
|
|
|
images (new).
|
2020-05-14 17:27:29 +02:00
|
|
|
- It is possible to turn off all the new QML code -- navigation, slideshow,
|
|
|
|
QML-based modules -- with a single `-DWITH_QML=OFF` at CMake time.
|
|
|
|
This removes QML from Calamares' dependency footprint (but only saves
|
|
|
|
200kB in Calamares itself).
|
2020-05-15 14:38:45 +02:00
|
|
|
- Tests have been extended and now support a tests/CMakeTests.txt file
|
|
|
|
for fine-tuning tests for Python modules.
|
2020-06-03 15:36:05 +02:00
|
|
|
- SPDX identifiers are used much more widely and consistently in Calamares.
|
|
|
|

## Modules ##
|
2020-05-17 12:41:22 +02:00
|
|
|
- The QML based *welcomeq* module is now a viable alternative to the
|
|
|
|
*welcome*(widgets based) module. Using QML files means it no longer
|
|
|
|
is needed to have pop-up windows for additional information or warnings,
|
|
|
|
all loads in the Calamares window itself. Additional features include the
|
|
|
|
option to customize the *About* info and load files like Release Notes
|
|
|
|
direct into Calamares, QML files added to the branding directory can be used.
|
2020-06-03 15:36:05 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *welcome* and *locale* modules that do GeoIP lookup can now also
|
|
|
|
use "fixed" style; this just negates the GeoIP lookup and substitutes a
|
|
|
|
constant (fixed) value; useful for testing specific locales.
|
|
|
|
- The *keyboard* module no longer uses *ca_eng* keyboards in Canada by
|
|
|
|
default, but sticks to the *us* keyboard. #1419

|
|
- There is now a bash-completions script for Calamares; turn on
|
|
|
|
the (CMake-time) option INSTALL_COMPLETION to get it. (Thanks Gaël)
|
2020-04-30 13:43:29 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *productWallpaper* setting is documented and works. (Thanks Bill)
|
2020-05-08 16:55:45 +02:00
|
|
|
- GlobalStorage is available to QML modules as `Global`.
|
|
|
|
- The height of the navigation bar in QML can be set within the
|
|
|
|
QML code for the navigation; if not set, try something sensible.
|
2020-05-11 20:53:23 +02:00
|
|
|
- A regression in the requirements-checker which could block the
|
|
|
|
installer from proceeding without telling the user **why** it
|
|
|
|
was blocked, has been resolved.

|
|
the newly-installed system. #1394 (Thanks Gaël)
|
2020-05-08 16:55:45 +02:00

- Some strange annotations were added to the *About* dialog text in
|
|
|
|
all the translations, like `{1?}`. These have been removed again.

- *locale* module had some errors in timezone data, where clicking

|
|
|
now fixed (thanks FLVAL). #1374
|
2020-04-16 23:33:16 +02:00
|
|
|
- *netinstall* supports a wider variety of package naming schemes,
|
|
|
|
and is more flexible in loading a `netinstall.yaml` that is copied from
|
|
|
|
the example configuration file, *groups* key and all. #1369
|
2020-04-15 14:20:05 +02:00

## Core ##
|
2020-04-02 17:19:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- Both the sidebar (on the left) and the navigation buttons (along the
|
|
|
|
bottom of the window) can now be configured to use the traditional
|
|
|
|
*widgets*, to use *qml*, or *hidden* from view (hiding the navigation
|
|
|
|
is not recommended unless you have a pure-QML UI to run inside
|
|
|
|
Calamares). The example QML that is compiled into Calamares has
|
|
|
|
been improved. To use your own QML, put files `calamares-sidebar.qml`
|
|
|
|
or `calamares-navigation.qml` into the branding directory.
|
2020-04-03 11:44:04 +02:00
|
|
|
- The sidebar and navigation can now be placed on any side of the
|
|
|
|
main window. This is probably only useful for QML-based UIs.
|
|
|
|
See `branding.desc` for details.

## Modules ##

2020-04-02 17:19:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *welcomeq* module has been improved with better layout and
|
|
|
|
nicer buttons in the example QML form. (Thanks to Anke Boersma)
|
2020-04-06 18:29:18 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *keyboardq* and *localeq* modules now provide some QML for
|
|
|
|
configuring these parts, although they are still very primitive.
|
|
|
|
- *netinstall* has had some minor layout fixes.
|
|
|
|
- *unpackfs* has much more detailed progress reporting and no
|
|
|
|
longer jumps around strangely in overall progress.
|
2020-04-08 13:24:09 +02:00
|
|
|
- *partition* now correctly marks a partition as bootable in BIOS + MBR
|
|
|
|
installs. #1175

## Core ##
|
2020-03-10 02:36:40 +01:00
|
|
|
- Python job modules (such as *unpackfs* or *packages*) can now provide
|
|
|
|
a `pretty_status_message()` function, like the existing `pretty_name()`
|
|
|
|
function, that is used to update the status during install. #1330
|
2020-03-11 19:49:41 +01:00
|
|
|
- QML support-modules and objects are now registered into the io.calamares
|
|
|
|
namespace. This affects modules using Calamares models inside their
|
|
|
|
QML UI (at this point, very few). With this release, the necessary
|
|
|
|
`import` for Calamares parts looks like
|
|
|
|
> ```import io.calamares.ui 1.0```
|
2020-03-12 17:28:44 +01:00
|
|
|
A complete list of objects available from Calamares van be found in the
|
2020-03-12 17:37:39 +01:00
|
|
|
documentation in `Qml.h`.
|
2020-03-12 17:28:44 +01:00
|
|
|
- The sidebar (which shows overall progress in the installation) is now
|
|
|
|
more configurable: the branding key *sidebar* controls it. The sidebar
|
|
|
|
can be shown as a widget (default, as it has been), hidden, or use a
|
|
|
|
new QML view which is more easily customised.
|
2020-03-24 15:45:35 +01:00
|
|
|
- A new `settings.conf` key *quit-at-end* will automatically close
|
|
|
|
Calamares (by clicking on the *Done* button) when the end of the
|
|
|
|
sequence is reached. If *finished* is the last module in the sequence,
|
|
|
|
this will run whatever it is configured for; you can also leave out
|
|
|
|
the finished page and Calamares will close after the exec parts.

|
## Modules ##
|
2020-03-10 02:36:40 +01:00
|
|
|
- *packages* now reports more details in the installation progress-bar.
|
2020-03-27 21:14:47 +01:00
|
|
|
- *netinstall* module supports an `expanded` key, which will pre-expand
|
2020-03-10 19:14:53 +01:00
|
|
|
a group (as if the user had pressed the arrow-button in the tree-view).
|
2020-03-27 21:14:47 +01:00
|
|
|
This only affects the UI, and only the **outermost** level of groups.
|
|
|
|
- *netinstall* module now supports a special value for *groupsUrl*.
|
|
|
|
Setting this to *local* will read the groups directly from the
|
|
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
|
|
- *netinstall* groups now support a new key `immutable` which prevents
|
|
|
|
their check-state from being changed (they are shown, or hidden,
|
|
|
|
as usual and can be expanded).
|
2020-03-11 19:49:41 +01:00
|
|
|
- Modules that use QML need a new import line. The QML file for the
|
|
|
|
module is configured through new keys *qmlSearch* and *qmlFilename*
|
|
|
|
(previously those were without the `qml` prefix, which invites name
|
|
|
|
collisions). The full module identifier is also used as a filename,
|
|
|
|
so that multiple instances of a module can use different QML files.
|
2020-03-23 17:13:20 +01:00
|
|
|
- *partition* module has a number of new features and settings for
|
|
|
|
type, UUID, and filesystem characteristics. Thanks to Gaël.

|
|
|
- When logging level is set to 8 (eight), for instance via the `-D8`
|
|
|
|
logging flag, or the `-d` debug flag, the *Show debug information*
|
|
|
|
button will appear in the progress view. This helps with debugging
|
|
|
|
issues where the `-d` flag would be inappropriate.
|
|
|
|
- Calamares now starts at logging level 1 (warnings and errors to
|
|
|
|
the console) by default. Previously it (wrongly) started at level 8.

## Modules ##
|
2020-02-27 15:01:37 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *partition* module now stores which filesystems are in use in
|
2020-02-27 23:12:03 +01:00
|
|
|
global storage.
|
|
|
|
- The *contextualprocess* module now understands "compound variable
|
|
|
|
names", where a dot (.) is used to index into structured data
|
|
|
|
stored in global storage. This allows it to use the map stored
|
|
|
|
by the partition module (but also other things, like looking into
|
|
|
|
the branding information).
|
|
|
|
- The *packages* module now understands "apk", the Alpine Linux
|
|
|
|
package manager.

## Modules ##
|
2020-02-24 11:41:18 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *users* module no longer wrote `/etc/hostname` at all.
|
|
|
|
- The *users* module erroneously shows the root password input fields.
|
2020-02-24 21:44:30 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *initramfs* module sets a resume-hook even when there is no swap.
|
|
|
|
- The partitioning service expects *udevadm* in `/sbin`, but some
|
|
|
|
distro's place it elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
- The mount service didn't unmount directories properly, leading to
|
|
|
|
blocked installations.

## Core ##
|
2020-02-04 22:24:22 +01:00
|
|
|
- *Assamese* translation has been completed.
|
|
|
|
- Translations are now loaded from more places: instead of **only**
|
|
|
|
being compiled in to the Calamares executable, they can now be
|
|
|
|
read from the current directory (when Calamares is run in developer
|
|
|
|
mode) and from the application data directory.This allows updating the
|
|
|
|
translations without requiring a recompile: helpful for translators
|
|
|
|
and possibly for distributions with their own translation style.
|
|
|
|
See the translators and deployers wiki for details.
|
2020-02-07 22:25:51 +01:00
|
|
|
- A new `ViewStep` base class, `QmlViewStep`, has been added that loads
|
|
|
|
a configurable QML file and plays it. This is used by the new *notesqml*
|
|
|
|
module -- which is in itself a minimal wrapper around the same that
|
|
|
|
adds only a translatable module name.

|
## Modules ##
|
2020-02-04 22:24:22 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *machineid* and *users* modules now prefer high-quality random
|
|
|
|
data from `/dev/urandom` rather than pseudo-random data. #1254
|
2020-02-07 22:25:51 +01:00
|
|
|
- A new *notesqml* module supports loading QML. This can be used for
|
|
|
|
"fancy" release notes as a QML application, rather than a webview
|
|
|
|
or text widget. Note that this does not replace the slideshow-during-
|
|
|
|
installation module.
|
2020-02-18 10:38:31 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *users* module now has knobs for setting the hostname and writing
|
|
|
|
the `/etc/hosts` file. The new configuration options are documented
|
|
|
|
in `users.conf`. #1140
|
2020-02-18 15:04:49 +01:00
|
|
|
- Multiple *netinstall* modules can exist side-by-side, and they each
|
|
|
|
control the package installation for their part of the package list.
|
|
|
|
Previously, a netinstall module would overwrite all of the package
|
2020-02-19 12:36:12 +01:00
|
|
|
configuration done by other netinstall modules. Translations can be
|
|
|
|
provided in the configuration file, `netinstall.conf`. #1303
|
2020-02-21 18:53:03 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *fstab* module no longer "claims" all the swap partitions it finds
|
|
|
|
on disk. It only uses swap specified for the current installation.
|
|
|
|
This means that "replace" and "alongside" installations will have
|
|
|
|
no swap configured in the target system.

## Core ##
|
2020-01-28 17:42:21 +01:00
|
|
|
- *Assamese* translation has been added (still in preliminary state).
|
2019-12-11 14:50:46 +01:00
|
|
|
- Timezone support code has migrated into the core of Calamares. This
|
|
|
|
means that modules now have easier access to timezone information.
|
|
|
|
Translations for timezones have also been enabled, so it is **possible**
|
2020-01-06 17:41:32 +01:00
|
|
|
at least to translate the displayed zones in the *locale* module.
|
2020-01-07 00:28:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Branding can now specify whether to (try to) display the Calamares window
|
|
|
|
in the middle of the desktop or not. The *windowPlacement* key in
|
|
|
|
`branding.desc` specifies *center* or *free* placement.
|
2019-11-28 16:51:07 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2020-01-24 23:18:46 +01:00
|
|
|
- All modules can now set a new key in `module.desc` called *noconfig*.
|
2020-01-25 12:06:13 +01:00
|
|
|
If this key is set to `true` (the default is `false), no configuration
|
2020-01-24 23:18:46 +01:00
|
|
|
file is searched-for or loaded, and no warning is printed if the
|
|
|
|
configuration is missing. This should tidy up some unnecessary warnings
|
|
|
|
on startup. #1302 #1301
|
2019-12-09 20:47:32 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *license* module has seen a significant change to its looks.
|
|
|
|
Actions are now labeled more clearly, and the URL (or filename)
|
|
|
|
for each license is displayed.
|
2020-01-06 17:41:32 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *locale* module now supports translations for timezone and
|
2019-12-11 14:50:46 +01:00
|
|
|
location names (e.g. "Berlin" is "Berlijn" in Dutch).
|
2020-01-07 01:16:36 +01:00
|
|
|
- *Packagechooser* is a little more careful with displaying
|
|
|
|
default and empty package names. (thanks to Bill Auger)
|
2020-01-25 12:06:13 +01:00
|
|
|
- The *unpackfs* module now carries a larger weight in the overall
|
|
|
|
progress of the installation, which should resolve downstream reports
|
|
|
|
like "progress stops at 24% for a long time". This is currently
|
|
|
|
hard-coded, but will become configurable in a future release. #1176

# 3.2.17.1 (2019-12-02) #
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a hotfix release for a bug in the grubcfg module.
|
|
|
|
Reported by Philip Mueller and Erik Dubois.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
|
|
|
- The *grubcfg* module had a typo in it that made installations fail.

## Core ##
|
2019-11-28 13:12:14 +01:00
|
|
|
- A translation "string freeze" is now enforced by the release scripts.
|
2019-11-01 17:19:23 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2019-11-08 12:49:08 +01:00
|
|
|
- A new module, *hostinfo*, places information about the host into
|
|
|
|
Global Storage. This can support contextualprocess modules that
|
|
|
|
need that information.
|
2019-11-08 13:48:27 +01:00
|
|
|
- The password-checks in the *users* module are now ordered consistently.
|
|
|
|
A new check *nonempty* can be used to explicitly check for a non-empty
|
|
|
|
password. This was previously hard-coded. If you have no other
|
|
|
|
password-requirements set (e.g. minimum-length) and rely on
|
|
|
|
Calamares to filter out empty passwords, add this check.
|
|
|
|
- The *grubcfg* module has a new configuration setting *keepDistributor*
|
|
|
|
which prevents replacing the `GRUB_DISTRIBUTION` line when writing
|
|
|
|
the new configuration. #1201
|
2019-11-28 13:12:14 +01:00
|
|
|
- *packagechooser* documentation has been updated.
|
|
|
|
- *welcome* module now works better with dark themes.
|
|
|
|
- The *license* module could get into a confused state, now fixed. #1271

## Core ##
|
2019-11-01 15:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- Some obscure build scenarios which would lead to bogus module-is-
|
|
|
|
misconfigured messages on startup have been resolved.
|

|
|
## Modules ##
|
2019-11-01 15:07:52 +01:00
|
|
|
- The explanatory messages on the *users* page have moved to tooltips,
|
|
|
|
and placeholder text has been added to the fields. #1202
|
|
|
|
- The bad-password messages in the *users* page have been improved. #1261
|
|
|
|
- Password-checking in the *users* module has been substantially
|
|
|
|
changed. A new key *allowWeakPasswords* can be used to introduce
|
|
|
|
an additional checkbox to the page, which can then be used to
|
|
|
|
switch off strict password checking. (Thanks to Bill Auger)
|
|
|
|
- The icons used in password warnings on the *users* page have been
|
|
|
|
changed to the colorful status icons (rather than the thin red X).

|
|
|

2019-10-07 21:50:36 +02:00
|
|
|
- *displaymanager* module now treats *sysconfig* as a regular entry in the
|
|
|
|
*displaymanagers* list, and the *sysconfigSetup* key is used as a
|
|
|
|
shorthand to force **only** that entry in the list. #1253
|
|
|
|
- *machineid* module has been re-written in C++ and extended with
|
|
|
|
a new configuration key to generate urandom pool data. #1252
|
2019-10-11 16:18:46 +02:00
|
|
|
- *unpackfs* now supports a special *sourcefs* value of `file`
|
|
|
|
for copying single files (optionally with renaming) or directory
|
|
|
|
trees to the target system.
|
2019-10-11 17:53:24 +02:00
|
|
|
- *unpackfs* now support an *exclude* and *excludeFile* setting for
|
|
|
|
excluding particular files or patters from unpacking. #1229

2019-09-23 10:51:19 +02:00
|

- *packagechooser* module can now be custom-labeled in the overall
|
|
|
|
progress (left-hand column). #1228

## Core ##

|
|
|
|
2019-08-08 13:14:14 +02:00
|
|
|
- The Calamares standard coding style -- embodied in `ci/calamaresstyle`
|
|
|
|
has had a few updates and has now been consistently applied across
|
|
|
|
the core codebase (e.g. libcalamares, libcalamaresui, calamares, but
|
|
|
|
not the modules).
|
2019-08-12 13:29:53 +02:00
|
|
|
- *KCoreAddons* is now a required dependency. This lets us drop a chunk
|
|
|
|
of code that was copied from KCoreAddons years ago, and use the
|
|
|
|
(maintained!) upstream version instead. It also gives us KMacroExpander
|
|
|
|
everywhere, which will simplify code for handling substitutions
|
|
|
|
in configuration files.
|
2019-08-27 15:54:06 +02:00
|
|
|
- *Slideshows* now have a new property *activatedInCalamares* which
|
|
|
|
controls the keyboard shortcuts (and can control timers and other
|
|
|
|
properties of the slideshow, too).

## Modules ##
|
|
|
|
|
2019-08-20 14:03:52 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *packagechooser* module can load data from the config-file,
|
|
|
|
from AppData XML files referred by the config-file, and (new) also
|
|
|
|
from AppStream caches by referring to an application's AppStream id. #1212
|
2019-08-16 10:21:53 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *partition* module now understands the units *KB*, *MB*, *GB* which
|
|
|
|
are powers-of-ten sizes, alongside the powers-of-two sizes that it already
|
|
|
|
used. (thanks to Arnaud)
|
|
|
|
- The *welcome* module now supports a *Donate* button if *showDonateUrl*
|
|
|
|
is set to a non-empty URL. #1197
|
|
|
|
- The *welcome* module can have URLs for the various buttons configured
|
|
|
|
directly in the module configuration (rather than in `branding.desc`).

2019-08-02 09:25:45 +02:00
|
|
|
- Preliminary work to allow jobs to have a *weight* assigned to them
|
|
|
|
has been added. This will allow the progress bar to better reflect
|
|
|
|
progress by the amount of work done rather than purely by the
|
|
|
|
number of jobs. (Thanks to Bill Auger)
|
|
|
|
- Preliminary work has been added to post the installation log to a
|
|
|
|
pastebin for bug reporting. (Thanks to Bill Auger)
|
2019-08-06 23:43:29 +02:00
|
|
|
- Support for translated human-readable strings in Calamares
|
|
|
|
config files has been added. This is used only in the *packagechooser*
|
|
|
|
module (see below) but will expand to those modules that need
|
|

user-visible strings from the configuration file (existing

|
|
- *fstab* A new configuration key *efiMountOptions* has been added, to
|
|
|
|
allow setting filesystem options specifically for the EFI partition.

(Thanks to apt-ghetto)
|
2019-08-06 23:43:29 +02:00
|
|
|
- *packagechooser* is a new module for low-density package choices,
|
|
|
|
e.g. for selecting a default desktop environment, or adding some
|
|
|
|
proprietary drivers, or chosing browsers of office suites. It presents
|
|
|
|
**one** collection of items -- at most ten or so, because of the UI --
|
|
|
|
and the user can select zero or more of them. The behavior is
|
|
|
|
configurable, and package information can be set through the Calamares
|
|
|
|
configuration file or by reading AppData files for the packages. #426

- *initramfs* could create an initramfs with insecure permissions.
|
|
|
|
Since the keyfile is included in the initramfs, an attacker could
|
2019-07-05 23:33:46 +02:00
|
|
|
read the file from the initramfs. #1190 CVE-2019-13178
|
2019-07-02 21:50:43 +02:00
|
|
|
- *luksbootkeyfile* created a key file where a window of opportunity

|
|
- With this release, option *WITH_PYTHONQT* changes default to **off**.
|
|
|
|
There does not seem to be any serious use of the PythonQt API and
|
|
|
|
the UI opportunities it offers, so begin the process of deprecating
|
|
|
|
and removing that. Sometime in the future, QML pages will fill the
|
|
|
|
gap for easily-prototyped-yet-slick UI elements.
|
2019-06-07 21:58:35 +02:00
|
|
|
- A crash when no *finished* page (or rather, no page at all) is
|
|
|
|
configured after the last *exec* section of the sequence has been
|
|
|
|
solved. The *finished* page can be left out (but then you don't get
|
2019-06-08 14:39:38 +02:00
|
|
|
the restart-now functionality). #1168
|
2019-06-17 13:11:04 +02:00
|
|
|
- The *slideshow* which is run during installation now has API versions.
|
|
|
|
API version 1 (the default) runs as before, where the slideshow is loaded
|
|
|
|
when the installation starts. API version 2 loads the slideshow on
|
|
|
|
Calamares startup, thus improving responsiveness. Documentation
|
|
|
|
in `src/branding/README.md`. #1152
|
|
|
|
- The example slideshow now uses API version 2.

|
|
|
- *initramfs* has been changed from a Python module to a C++ module.
|
|
|
|
Packaging will need to adjust now it installs a .so instead of a .py.
|
|
|
|
The module itself functions as before. It does have a new configuration
|
|
|
|
option, to change the version passed as to the `-k` option of
|
|
|
|
update-initramfs. #1180
|
2019-06-08 14:39:17 +02:00
|
|
|
- *partition* Now has its own setting for *requiredStorage*, duplicating
|
|
|
|
the same setting in the *welcome* module. This is useful for
|
|
|
|
configurations where no *welcome* module is used, but a minimum
|
|
|
|
size must be checked anyway. #1169

|
- *branding* now supports os-release variables in the *strings* section,
|
|
|
|
which allows re-using (at runtime) information set in /etc/os-release .
|
|
|
|
This requires KDE Frameworks 5.58. #1150
|
2019-05-27 16:38:06 +02:00
|
|
|
- *branding* allows the use of FreeDesktop.org icon names for the
|
|
|
|
*productLogo* and *productIcon* keys. If a file is named there, then
|
|
|
|
the file is used, and otherwise the icon is looked up in the current
|
2019-06-03 15:04:41 +02:00
|
|
|
theme. #1160
|
|
|
|
- *packages* On Arch, with the `pacman` package manager, avoid a hang
|
|
|
|
during system update. #1154
|
2019-05-31 17:28:33 +02:00
|
|
|
- *welcome* allows a custom image path or icon name to be set for the

|
|
language-selection drop-down (instead of the international standard one).

This is a **source-incompatible** release of Calamares. Include files

have been shuffled around, so third-party C++ modules will need

adjustment to the changed names.

|
|
|
2019-05-09 14:16:44 +02:00
|
|
|
- All user-visible texts referring to "MB" and "GB" now use the standard
|
|
|
|
"MiB" and "GiB" wording, which matches what we were actually calculating
|
|
|
|
with (i.e. 2^20 and 2^30 respectively). #1129
|
2019-05-06 14:21:02 +02:00
|
|
|
- The side-pane, which shows the list of steps that will be executed,
|
|
|
|
now tries to fit the text (name of each module) into the available space
|
|
|
|
by shrinking the font as needed. #1137
|
2019-04-29 10:36:32 +02:00
|
|
|
- *libcalamares* (accidentally) linked with Qt's GUI libraries when
|
|
|
|
PythonQt was found. This led to the odd situation where the non-GUI
|
|
|
|
Calamares library depends on a bunch of GUI libraries.
|
2019-04-29 12:55:00 +02:00
|
|
|
- *libcalamares* The `utils/` subdirectory has been hugely refactored,
|
|
|
|
with functionality split out into separate files. C++ modules will
|
|
|
|
need to have their `#include` names updated. Basically, users of
|
|
|
|
`utils/CalamaresUtils.h` will need to include the header file for
|
|
|
|
the functionality that is actually used.

## Modules ##
|
|
|
|
|
2019-05-06 12:27:10 +02:00
|
|
|
- *finished* has a new mechanism for configuring the behavior of the
|
|
|
|
*restart now* button. The old-style boolean configuration is still
|
|
|
|
supported but generates a warning. #1138
|
2019-05-03 17:37:12 +02:00
|
|
|
- *locale* module GeoIP configuration has a new preferred format.
|
|
|
|
See `locale.conf` for details. The old configuration is still
|
|
|
|
supported but will be phased out before 3.3.0 -- in particular,
|
|
|
|
support for "legacy" format will be removed, since that was a
|
|
|
|
crutch for the disappearance of one GeoIP provider in 2018.
|
2019-04-29 14:49:53 +02:00
|
|
|
- *oemid* is a new module for configuring OEM phase-0 (image pre-mastering,
|
2019-04-29 17:25:34 +02:00
|
|
|
or pre-deployment) things. It has limited functionality at the moment,
|
2019-05-06 12:27:10 +02:00
|
|
|
writing only a single batch-identifier file. #943
|
2019-05-10 21:15:18 +02:00
|
|
|
- *welcome* can now do GeoIP lookups as well (but be careful with the
|
|
|
|
configuration, since you need a GeoIP that provides country information,
|
|
|
|
not just timezones). This will let Calamares select a starting language
|
|
|
|
that matches where it is -- which might not be useful at all. #934
|
2019-04-28 20:48:38 +02:00
|
|
|
- All Python modules now bail out gracefully on (at least some) bad
|
|
|
|
configurations, rather than raising an exception. The pre-release
|
|
|
|
scripts now test for exceptions to avoid shipping modules with
|
|
|
|
ImportError or SyntaxError results.

This is a **hotfix** release for regressions introduced in the

|
|
|
Python modules. The *localecfg* module was unusable because of
|
|
|
|
a missing `import`.

* Under-the-hood code cleanups in lots of parts of the core. Calamares now
|
|
|
|
builds without warnings when Clang 8 is used.
|
2019-04-21 17:34:42 +02:00

* A new *disable-cancel-during-exec* setting provides more fine-grained
|
2019-04-24 18:32:26 +02:00
|
|
|
control than *disable-cancel*, which hides the button entirely.

allow longer lists of licenses and to support long license texts

|
|
* View modules (in C++) can now perform their own requirements-checking
|
|
|
|
to see if installation makes sense. This expands upon the existing
|
|
|
|
requirements checks in the welcome module (RAM, disk space, ..).
|
|
|
|
The checks have been made asynchronous, so that responsiveness during
|
|
|
|
requirements-checking is improved and the user has better feedback.
|
2019-03-20 10:51:24 +01:00
|
|
|
* Support for building an AppImage of Calamares has been added to the
|
|
|
|
`ci/` directory. There are use-cases where a containerized build and
|
|
|
|
configuration make sense rather than having Calamares installed in the
|
|
|
|
host system. (Thanks to the AppImage team, Alexis)
|
2019-04-11 16:32:19 +02:00
|
|
|
* OEM mode (phase-1) now correctly refers to Calamares as a "Setup Program"
|
|
|
|
rather than an installer. #1100 (Thanks to Arnaud)

* *Bootloader* module: a serious bug introduced in 3.2.4 which prevents
|
|
|
|
succesful boot after installation on EFI machines, has been repaired.

|
(Thanks to Gabriel) #1104
|
2019-03-29 11:09:46 +01:00
|
|
|
* *Displaymanager* module: it is no longer a fatal error to not have any
|
2019-03-29 17:11:04 +01:00
|
|
|
display-managers. #1095
|
2019-02-26 12:34:56 +01:00
|
|
|
* *Partition* module: it is now possible to build without libparted. Since
|
|
|
|
KPMCore may not need this library anymore, it is a dependency that will
|
2019-03-29 17:06:10 +01:00
|
|
|
be dropped as soon as it is feasible. Add this to the CMake flags:
|
|
|
|
`-DCMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_LIBPARTED=ON`
|
|
|
|
* *Partition* module: the location that is selected for the bootloader,
|
|
|
|
no longer changes when a new partition is created. #1098
|
2019-02-18 14:52:52 +01:00
|
|
|
* Python modules: several modules have had translations added. This is
|
|
|
|
usually only visible when the module runs as part of the *exec* step,
|
2019-03-29 11:09:46 +01:00
|
|
|
when the module's *pretty name* is displayed. In addition, some error
|
2019-02-18 14:52:52 +01:00
|
|
|
messages are now translated.

|
|
* The Calamares application now recognizes the `-X` or `--xdg-config`
|
|
|
|
option, which adds XDG_DATA_DIRS to the places used to find QML
|
|
|
|
and branding directories, and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to the places used
|
|
|
|
to find the global settings and module configurations. This allows
|
|
|
|
a more fine-grained, and more layered, approach to setting up
|
|
|
|
Calamares configurations (in particular, distro's can **add**
|
|
|
|
configuration files and give them priority, instead of **forking**
|
|
|
|
configuration files).
|
2019-01-11 12:25:37 +01:00
|
|
|
* The *branding* file now contains settings that control the size
|
|
|
|
and resize behavior of Calamares. See the branding file for
|
2019-01-14 15:36:14 +01:00
|
|
|
more documentation. In particular, the setting *windowExpanding*
|
|
|
|
can be set to *normal*, *fullscreen* or *noexpand*.
|
2019-01-24 21:20:49 +01:00
|
|
|
* The `settings.conf` file can now configure whether the *Cancel* button
|
2019-02-12 11:19:01 +01:00
|
|
|
is shown (this isn't a branding thing, because it's quite fundamental
|
2019-01-24 21:20:49 +01:00
|
|
|
to the workflow of the installer).

## Modules ##
|
2018-09-04 23:34:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2018-09-21 22:21:30 +02:00
|
|
|
* The *partition* module supports RAID devices, but only when Calamares
|
2019-02-12 11:19:01 +01:00
|
|
|
is compiled with the newest KPMCore release (3.3.0).
|
2018-10-01 10:27:26 +02:00
|
|
|
* The calculation of required space -- including swap -- has been simplified,
|
|
|
|
and Calamares no longer reserves 2GiB of space in calculations for internal
|
|
|
|
use (this means that it no longer mysteriously drops swap when the disk
|
|
|
|
size is close to the required installation size).
|
2019-01-11 12:22:23 +01:00
|
|
|
* The name of the type of default filesystem (e.g. ext4 or btrfs) is now handled
|
|
|
|
case- and localization-insensitively. This means that *btrfs* is now always
|
|
|
|
an acceptable spelling.
|
|
|
|
* The currently-selected disk device is remembered between manual partitioning
|
|
|
|
and the partitioning-overview pages. (Thanks to Arnaud)
|
2019-01-24 21:20:49 +01:00
|
|
|
* *partition* There is new support for partitioning layout presets.
|
2019-02-06 10:06:08 +01:00
|
|
|
See `partition.conf` for documentation and details.
|
2018-09-27 12:51:32 +02:00
|
|
|
* The *keyboard* module now handles the (bogus) Austrian keymap for
|
2019-01-11 12:22:23 +01:00
|
|
|
the system console properly. (Thanks to Kevin)
|
2018-10-01 10:40:43 +02:00
|
|
|
* The *preservefiles* module now has a mechanism for setting the permissions
|
2019-01-11 12:22:23 +01:00
|
|
|
(and ownership) of preserved files. (Thanks to Scott)
|
2018-09-28 12:56:06 +02:00
|
|
|
* New module *fsresizer* can be used to resize filesystems. It is intended
|
2018-09-14 16:45:24 +02:00
|
|
|
for use in OEM installs where an image of fixed size is created,
|
|
|
|
and then sized to the actual SD card the user has used.
|
2018-11-30 12:27:10 +01:00
|
|
|
* The *mount* module now handles missing *extraMounts* and *extraMountsEfi*
|
2019-02-06 10:06:08 +01:00
|
|
|
keys gracefully (this is probably a misconfiguration, though, and gives a
|
|
|
|
warning).
|
2018-11-30 12:29:31 +01:00
|
|
|
* The *packages* module now supports pre- and post-script options
|
|
|
|
for all operations, not just during install (keep in mind that
|
|
|
|
these run as three separate shells, though).
|
2019-01-24 21:20:49 +01:00
|
|
|
* A new *rawfs* module supports straightforward copying of filesystems from
|
|
|
|
the installation media to the target stystem. This can be used, for instance,
|
|
|
|
for block-level-identical installations.

|
* *partition* Fixed bug where, during detection of existing systems, the
|
|
|
|
existing system partitions may be mounted and then files deleted.
|
|
|
|
This is a **limited** version of the patch from aliveafter1000
|
|
|
|
that will be in 3.2.4, which tries harder to mount filesystems
|
|
|
|
read-only and unmodifiable.
|
2019-01-09 12:58:31 +01:00
|
|
|
* *locale* It was possible to set the installer and system language
|
|
|
|
(e.g. to German) while the global storage value for *locale*
|
|
|
|
remained set to English. Then no localization packages are installed
|
|
|
|
(see feature `${LOCALE}` in `packages.conf`). Reported downstream
|
|
|
|
in Netrunner.

## Core ##
|
2018-08-06 17:06:28 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Example configurations are **no longer installed** by default.
|
|
|
|
The default setting for *INSTALL_CONFIG* has changed. Distributions
|
|
|
|
are strongly encouraged to write their own configuration files and
|
|
|
|
not rely on the example configuration files. Example configurations
|
|
|
|
may change unpredictably.
|
|
|
|
* It is now possible to express module dependencies through the
|
|
|
|
*requiredModules* key in `module.desc`. All of the required modules
|
|
|
|
for a given module must occur in the sequence **before** the module
|
|
|
|
requiring them. None of the core modules use this facility.
|
|
|
|
* The search paths for QML files, branding descriptors and module
|
|
|
|
descriptors have been revamped and now self-document in the log.
|
|
|
|
* A new `ci/RELEASE.sh` script has been added to streamline releases;
|
|
|
|
it is not guaranteed to work anywhere in particular though.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-09-11 14:18:55 +02:00
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2018-08-06 17:06:28 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When multiple modules are mutually exclusive, or don't make sense
|
|
|
|
to enable concurrectly, a new `USE_<foo>` framework has been added
|
|
|
|
to CMake to simplify the selection of modules. This is in addition
|
|
|
|
to the existing `SKIP_MODULES` mechanism.
|
2018-08-08 12:01:51 +02:00
|
|
|
* Various off-by-one-sector errors in the automatic partitioning
|
|
|
|
mode have been corrected. In addition, swap space is calculated
|
|
|
|
a little more conservatively.
|
2018-08-06 17:06:28 +02:00
|
|
|
* A new module has been added to the core which can configure openrc
|
|
|
|
services. To make services configuration consistent:
|
|
|
|
- The *services* module has been **renamed** *services-systemd*,
|
|
|
|
- The openrc module is named *services-openrc*,
|
|
|
|
- At CMake time, it is possible to select all of the services modules,
|
|
|
|
or one specific one, by setting the *USE_services* CMake variable.
|
|
|
|
By default, all of the modules are built and installed.
|
|
|
|
* The systemd-services module can now disable targets and mask both
|
|
|
|
targets and services (which will allow you to break the system with
|
|
|
|
a bad configuration). The configuration is a little more flexible
|
|
|
|
because a service (or target) name can be used on its own with
|
|
|
|
sensible defaults.
|
2018-08-21 13:44:01 +02:00
|
|
|
* The displaymanager module has been entirely revamped. A long-standing
|
|
|
|
bug which ignored the settings for default desktop has been fixed
|
|
|
|
(thanks to Walter Lapchynski). Translations have been added to the
|
|
|
|
error messages. Each DM now has an implementation class for doing
|
|
|
|
all the configuration steps it needs. This groups the code needed for
|
|
|
|
a specific DM (and presumably, per-distro) in one place.
|
|
|
|
Distro's are **strongly advised** to re-test their DM configuration
|
|
|
|
and installation with the revamped code.

## Core ##
|
2018-09-03 11:08:52 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Qt 5.7 is now the minimum required Qt version. Because KPMCore
|
|
|
|
(a fairly fundamental dependency) requires Qt 5.7, Calamares
|
|
|
|
has followed suit.
|
|
|
|
* New testing application `loadmodule` for loading and running a
|
|
|
|
single Calamares module.
|
|
|
|
* New translations Belarussian and Korean.
|
|
|
|
* Jobs can now be *emergency jobs* which run even after a failure.
|
|
|
|
* Improved debugging when modules fail to load.
|
|
|
|
* Bad configuration files will now cause the user-interface of
|
|
|
|
Calamares to display an error message, rather than silently
|
|
|
|
ignoring some configuration errors. This will certainly cause
|
|
|
|
problems for distributions with sloppy configurations.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-09-11 14:18:55 +02:00
|
|
|
## Modules ##
|
2018-09-03 11:08:52 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New module preservefiles, keeps (log) files around after install;
|
|
|
|
this duplicates functionality with the unmount module, but unmount
|
|
|
|
is very late, rather limited, and fragile.
|
|
|
|
* Interactiveterminal module now disables itself if build requirements
|
|
|
|
are not met, rather than blocking the build.
|
|
|
|
* Fixes in the timezone map data make the southern hemisphere more
|
|
|
|
usable and put Reykjavik in its place.
|
|
|
|
* The packages module can now update the target system if explicitly
|
|
|
|
told to do so.
|
|
|
|
* More paths and executables are configurable in the bootloader module.
|
|
|
|
* Distributions are advised to review the `users.conf` setup **again**,
|
|
|
|
as some changes in version 3.2.0 caused regressions downstream.
|
|
|
|
* Distributions are advised to review their `locale.gen` files
|
|
|
|
**again**. Previous changes were too restrictive, matching only
|
|
|
|
the specific format Chakra Linux uses. Calamares now preserves
|
|
|
|
all the comment-lines in the file and writes enabled locales
|
|
|
|
at the end, with a descriptive comment.

## Modules ##
|
2018-09-03 11:08:52 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* UI annoyances in the partitioning module were fixed; the
|
|
|
|
mount-point selector is now more obvious when no mount-point
|
|
|
|
has been chosen, and the mount-point and flags are preserved
|
|
|
|
when (re)editing partitions.
|
|
|
|
* The handling of `@@ROOT@@` substitution in shellprocesses was
|
|
|
|
backwards; this has been fixed (the substitution is made when
|
|
|
|
running in the **host**).
|
|
|
|
* The user shell is no longer hard-coded to `/bin/bash`,
|
|
|
|
but follows the default setting for useradd(8), e.g.
|
|
|
|
those set in `/etc/default/useradd`.
|
