Base System

iptables-nft

The /sbin/iptables{,-save,-restore} 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 iptables-legacy and use iptables-legacy-save.

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.

Others

HashiCorp packages

Due to the relicensing of HashiCorp software to 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 here.

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

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" (v0.5.0 release notes, v0.5 blog post).
