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 3.3.0. See CHANGES-3.2 for the history of the 3.2 series (2018-05 - 2021-12). # 3.3.0 (unreleased) # This release contains contributions from (alphabetically by first name): - Evan James - Vitor Lopes This is a "minor" version change, but the size of the changes is very large. Configuration files from previous versions of Calamares will **certainly** need to be re-validated. Take heed of the many changes in the *Modules* heading, below. ## Project ## - The C++ code in the project is now formatted with clang-format 12 or 13, with the coding-style as found in `.clang-format`; there are minor differences from the tool, compared to the clang-format 9 usually applied to Calamares 3.2. - The CMake code in the project is now formatted with gersemi 0.7.5. ## Core ## - CMake 3.16, Qt 5.15 are now required; the newer CMake is to support new features (also for KDE Frameworks), Qt is the current LTS version. - KDE Framework "DBusAddons" is now required, and is used to "activate" Calamares; the KDAB Single Application Guard is no longer used. KDSAG needed patching to chase Qt 5.15 deprecations, and the DBus activation code is tried and tested in Frameworks (tier 1). Running `calamares -d` no longer enforces a single-application (it is for debugging purposes, after all). - Python 3.6 or later is now required, to allow for F-strings in Python code and allow other tidy-ups in the Python modules. Boost::Python now requires 1.67 or later (for CMake support). - The log file now **always** contains a debug-log, and the `-D` flag primarily controls what is printed to stdout. By default, stdout only gets errors; use `-D6` to match stdout with the file. Use `-D8` to get a verbose log file **and** verbose stdout. ## Modules ## - *bootloader* now supports more options when building the kernel command-line. (Thanks Evan) - *grubcfg* changed the key *keepDistributor* to *keep_distributor*. Please update configurations. - *partition* requires KPMCore 21.12 (e.g. KPMCore 4.2 API, or later).
