Release Notes for Alpine 3.19.0

2023-12-06T05:15:21Z

Celeste: /* Upgrades */ Node.js (current) 10.3 -> 10.4

== Base System ==

=== iptables-nft ===

The <code>/sbin/iptables{,-save,-restore}</code> symlinks now point to xtables-nft-multi instead of xtables-legacy-multi. This means they use the nftables kernel backend instead of the legacy iptables one.

Since the new iptables- binaries also don't use the iptables backend, to work with any existing rules and save them, you need to install {{pkg|iptables-legacy}} and use <code>iptables-legacy-save</code>.

Because mixing backends is not supported, you should reboot your system if you have to use the iptables commands after upgrading.

=== netns ===

The OpenRC package contains a patch to make it possible to start most services in netns namespaces. See also [[Netns|netns]].

== Others ==

=== HashiCorp packages ===

Due to [https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-adopts-business-source-license the relicensing of HashiCorp software] to [https://spdx.org/licenses/BUSL-1.1.html BUSL-1.1], a non-Open-Source license, the following software have been removed from Alpine:

* Consul
* Nomad
* Packer
* Terraform
* Vault

Our discussion on the topic can be found [https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/15193 here].

{{pkg|opentofu}}, a fork of Terraform, is available in our testing repository for users of our rolling release, edge.

=== Java 21 ===

The latest LTS java release, openjdk21, is now available in the community repository.

=== KDE ===

KDE Applications have been upgraded from 23.04.x to 23.08.x. KDE Frameworks have been upgraded from 5.105.0 to 5.112.0.
Note that the KDE Frameworks packages have been renamed to add a 5 suffix in preparation for the upcoming KDE 6 release in the next Alpine release. Everything should automatically be upgraded properly but if problems occur make sure to check if the right renamed packages are installed.

=== Yggdrasil v0.5 ===

{{pkg|yggdrasil}} was upgraded to 0.5.x and the new routing scheme is incompatible with previous versions. "Nodes running this new version '''will not''' be able to peer with earlier versions of Yggdrasil" ([https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go/releases/tag/v0.5.0 v0.5.0 release notes], [https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/2023/10/22/upcoming-v05-release.html v0.5 blog post]).

== Raspberry pi ==

The [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=linux-rpi&branch=edge linux-rpi] has been simplified. There is now a single kernel flavor for each architecture. This means that the kernels [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=linux-rpi2&branch=v3.18 linux-rpi2] and [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=linux-rpi4&branch=v3.18 linux-rpi4] are replaced with [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=linux-rpi&branch=edge linux-rpi].
