24 Dec '20

Hello everyone, the new Apertis v2022dev0 development release is now available! Apertis v2022dev0 is the first development release of the Apertis v2022 stable release flow that will lead to the LTS Apertis v2022.0 release in March 2022. For more details about the Apertis release flows and support periods, see https://www.apertis.org/designs/release-flow/ You can find the full release notes at https://www.apertis.org/release/v2022dev0/releasenotes/ This release ships all the changes from the v2021pre release plus dynamic KVM/UML backend selection in Debos, which can now automatically detect when KVM is available and use it to provide faster builds, falling back to UML only when necessary. Note that this release contains some known regressions due to the 5.9 kernel and some missing tweaks in Apertis Update Manager. An update is expected to be released in January with the final linux 5.10 LTS kernel and AUM 0.2020.20 which fix all the identified issues.
