It's been some time since the last release, so this is a slightly larger
one! There's lots of new features, and a few bug fixes. Some highlights
below.

New features:

  • A new sysroot.bootloader key was added to be more explicit about
    which bootloader OSTree should use. Notably a none value is
    supported, in which OSTree is solely responsible for writing the BLS
    entries. This can then be used by bootloaders like GRUB2, which now
    supports BLS natively. (#1814)
  • ostree config now supports the unset command to unset a key from
    the OSTree repo config (#1743)
  • ostree remote add now supports the --force flag to replace a
    remote of the same name if it exists (#1166)
  • ostree-prepare-root now logs a structured journal message after
    finding the deployment to which to pivot. This can be used by
    higher-level apps like RPM-OSTree to build a history of the
    deployments the machine was booted into. (#1842)
  • The staging API now supports a lockfile which prevents finalization at
    shutdown. This is intended to be used in systems like Fedora CoreOS,
    which needs more fine-tuned control between staging a deployment,
    and setting it as the default deployment on reboot. (#1841)
  • ostree static-delta show now prints the From and To commits for
    which the delta was generated (#1823)

Bug fixes:

  • Make looking up collection-refs similar to how regular refs are looked
    up, i.e. first in the transaction, then in the current repo, and then
    in the parent repo (#1821)
  • Don't include the OSTree commit version number twice in the boot menu
    title. This affected at least Fedora-based systems composed with
    RPM-OSTree's mutate-os-release. (#1829)
  • Activate ostree-finalize-staged earlier; this should hopefully make
    deployment finalization more reliable by running it later in the
    shutdown sequence, when less services are running (#1840)
  • Run grub2-mkconfig on the filesystem tree of the pending deployment,
    rather than the previously deployed tree. This was a corner case where
    the deployment failed if a previous deployment did not exist, on
    systems where grub.cfg is used. (#1831)

As always, thanks to all the contributors!
