Release Notes for Alpine 2.0.0 rc3

The releases are found in the http://www.alpinelinux.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi/v2.0/releases area.

Highlights

• fixes critical issue with reading usb's and disks with ext from initramfs image.
• fixes dovecot issue
• few package updates

Important notes when upgrading from v1.10

• The v2.0 series introduces an ABI-incompatible version of uClibc with NPTL threading support. This means that you cannot mix packages from older relases with v2.0. To upgrade you will need to make sure that you only have v2.0 repositories in your /etc/apk/repositories list and then do:

  apk upgrade --update-cache --available

Note: There might be packages with same version number in v1.10 repositories so it is very important that the --available option is there to make sure that those gets replaced properly

• All .so links moved to -dev package. It might be an idea to remove alpine-sdk and all *-dev packages before doing the upgrade. If you get problems due to a -dev package want overwrite a .so file owned by other package then you might want use the --force option.

Note: Uninstalling alpine-sdk might remove sudo. To make it stay you'll first have to do:

apk add sudo
