Highlights

  • Go 1.23.1
  • Rust 1.81
  • GNOME 47
  • KDE Plasma 6.1.5
  • LXQt 2.0.0

OpenSSH

Note: TODO: Remove this section if https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/68589 gets merged before 3.21 is released

You need to restart your sshd service!

Since the 9.8_p1 release, openssh-server is now split into two binaries, sshd and sshd-session. With this change sshd needs to be restarted to be able to accept new connections.

Since managing services has always been out-of-scope for apk, we will NOT do the following for you:

rc-service --ifstarted sshd restart

GNOME 47

GNOME 47 made it into Alpine 3.21. Everything should work as expected. Make sure you read the GNOME 47 release notes: https://release.gnome.org/47/

LXQt 2.0.0

LXQt has been updated to release 2.0.

  • It now uses Qt6
  • Many parts of LXQt are now wayland ready¹, but wayland ports of the following are pending: screengrab, lxqt-globalkeys, LXQt Panel's task-bar² and keyboard indicator, some input settings, and settings of monitor, power button, and screen locker.
  • LXQt Panel has a new default application menu called Fancy Menu.

¹ lxqt-wayland-session has not been released or packaged yet, but most folks wanting to test on wayland will want to use it.
² Most folks testing LXQt on wayland are using waybar temporarily until the task-bar is ported.

Jellyfin

Jellyfin now uses the recommended fork of ffmpeg called jellyfin-ffmpeg by default. If you want to change that, take a look at the ffmpegpath variable in /etc/conf.d/jellyfin. (!69924)

Bats

"main/bats" was renamed to "main/bats-core". Now there is a meta package "community/bats" which contains:

  • bats-core
  • bats-file
  • bats-support
  • bats-assert
