We are pleased to announce the release of Alpine Linux 3.24.0, the first release in the v3.24 stable series.
Highlights
Significant changes
Python setuptools 82.0.0 removed pkg_resources
py3-setuptools has been upgraded to 82.0.0, which removed the deprecated
pkg_resources module. Projects that still depend on it will no longer
work and should migrate to its successors.
qemu-binfmt service deprecated
The qemu-binfmt service from qemu-openrc is
deprecated
in favor of binfmt.d config files from user mode qemu packages combined with
the binfmt service.
Installer improvements
The installer (setup-alpine) now supports the
Limine boot loader and
has gained IPv6 support. When installing from a serial console, the boot
loader and kernel will automatically be configured with serial console
support, making headless setups smoother.
COSMIC desktop
The COSMIC desktop environment by System76 is now available in the community repository.
GTK+ 3.0 moved to community
GTK+ 3.0 has been moved from main to the community repository.
Package removals
Additional GTK 2 and Qt5 packages have been removed as part of ongoing deprecation efforts. libsoup 2 has also been removed.
Upgrade notes
As always, make sure to use apk upgrade --available when switching between
major versions.
GRUB users must run grub-install <device> or grub-install <efi-options>
after upgrading to ensure the new GRUB version is properly installed to disk.
Users with / and /usr on separate filesystems (which is unsupported) need to take special care. See the wiki for details.
Changes
The full list of changes can be found in the wiki, git log and bug tracker.
