#764 F35 Release Notes: Installer
Closed by pbokoc. Opened by pbokoc.

Please add anything that changed in F35 that's interesting to users in comments below. Note that #705 already covers replacing anaconda config files with profiles.

Thanks!


It might be worth mentioning #716 if it's not already covered.

From the Anaconda side we moved to creating the release notes during creation of the significant feature. So everything you find here https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/tree/master/docs/release-notes is candidate for release notes.

Hi, the link from @jkonecny is not correct, because it contains also F36 release notes. The release notes for F35 are prepared at https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3698. However, I don't think this list is complete. We still have to go over all Anaconda changes and check what is missing.

Ha @vponcova, I wasn't aware there are already features for F36 included. Heh, we are faster than I thought. Thanks for correction.

Adding notes for issues on my list:

  • Metacity window manager has been replaced with Gnome-kiosk, a lightweight manger based on mutter.
    https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3307

  • For a host name of the installer environment set for %post scripts from host name defined in kickstart Anaconda now sets static hostname instead of transient one which makes the host name more stable with regard to the operations run during the scripts.
    https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3633

  • Anaconda now uses yescript hashing method as the default for shadow passwords (replacing SHA-512).

    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/yescrypt_as_default_hashing_method_for_shadow

A few more candidates, all bug fixes:

  • Time zone picker (GUI) now handles correctly the "bonus" time zones we got with the zoneinfo library: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3610

  • Show correctly that no admin user is set up: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3665

  • Text mode installation now recognizes that a password is needed and missing: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3551

  • Minimal suggested size for /boot was raised to match current expectations: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/3302
