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), Vault was removed from Alpine.

Other packages (consul, nomad, packer, terraform) might be affected as well.

Java 21

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