From 6b60d070e9deebad6440b695e08cd867e196ef89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Bokoc Date: Apr 14 2020 12:50:53 +0000 Subject: Issue 450 - Installer changes --- diff --git a/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/Installation.adoc b/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/Installation.adoc index c985d75..1c31cf7 100644 --- a/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/Installation.adoc +++ b/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/Installation.adoc @@ -9,17 +9,31 @@ include::{partialsdir}/entities.adoc[] This section covers changes in the [application]*Anaconda* installer, including changes in the graphical and text mode interactive installers, Kickstart, and installer boot options. -[[sect-installation-anaconda-gui]] -=== Changes in the Graphical Interface - -[[sect-installation-anaconda-tui]] -=== Changes in the Text Mode Interface +[[sect-installation-anaconda-general]] +=== General changes + +* `/boot` can now be placed on a BTRFS subvolume. +* It is no longer possible to attempt to add more than the maximum allowed number of boot-device NVRAMs on `ppc64le`. +* Anaconda now uses the DBus storage module instead of the local storage object. +This change has been in development for multiple releases, and is now complete. +* Anaconda add-ons now have full DBus support, allowing add-on developers to use their own DBus modules. +See the link:https://github.com/rhinstaller/hello-world-anaconda-addon[add-on example] for more information. +* The Anaconda development team has implemented their own DBus library, `python3-dasbus`. +The library is written in Python, based on GLib, and inspired by `pydbus`. +The repository, including documentation, is available at link:https://github.com/rhinstaller/dasbus[GitHub]. +* Comps files can now set specific architectures on which packages can be installed. +* Packages can no longer be downloaded to RAM. +This option has been disabled because it could previously cause out-of-memory issues. +Packages can now only be downloaded to a hard drive, which also means the minimum storage requirements are slightly higher. +* The Network & Hostname screen no longer allows a trailing dot in a host name, which mirrors the behavior of the underlying `systemd-hostnamed` and the kernel. +Previously, attempting to set such a host name crashed the installer. +Note that the actual FQDN specification does technically allow for host names with a trailing dot, but the installer does not. +* Translations have been migrated to the Weblate platform.
