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) (link), 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.
