  • We now handle unmerged-usr systems correctly
  • Builtin configs (mkosi-initrd, mkosi-tools) can now be included
    using Include= (e.g. Include=mkosi-initrd)
  • The kernel-install plugin now uses the builtin mkosi-initrd config
    so there's no need anymore to copy the full mkosi-initrd config into
    /usr/lib/mkosi-initrd.
  • We don't require a build anymore for the journalctl and
    coredumpctl verbs.
  • mkosi ssh works again when used with ToolsTree=default
  • We now use .zst instead of .zstd for compressed split artifacts
    produced by systemd-repart.
  • systemd-repart uses a persistent temporary directory again for
    assembling images instead of a tmpfs.
  • Added MicrocodeHost= setting to only include the CPU specific
    microcode for the current host system.
  • The kernel-install plugin now only includes the CPU specific microcode
  • Introduced PackageCacheDirectory= to set the directory for package
    manager caches. This setting defaults to a suitable location in the
    system or user directory depending on how mkosi is invoked.
    CacheDirectory= is only used for incremental cached images now.
  • Repository metadata is now synced once at the start of each image
    build and never during an image build. Each image includes a snapshot
    of the repository metadata in the canonical locations in /var so
    that incremental images and extension images can reuse the same
    snapshot. When building an image intended to be used with
    BaseTrees=, disable CleanPackageMetadata= to make sure the
    repository metadata in /var is not cleaned up, otherwise any
    extension images using this image as their base tree will not be able
    to install additional packages.
  • Implemented CacheOnly=metadata. Note that in the JSON output, the
    value of CacheOnly= will now be a string instead of a boolean.
  • Added CompressLevel= to set the compression level to use.
  • Dropped experimental Gentoo support.
  • Added TriggerMatch= to specify multiple match sections of which only
    one should be satisfied.
  • Added jq, attr, acl, git, sed, grep and findutils to
    the default tools tree.
  • Added mkosi-install, mkosi-upgrade, mkosi-remove and
    mkosi-reinstall scripts which allow writing scripts that are
    independent of the package manager being used to build the image.
  • We now expand specifiers in Match section values
  • Made GPG key handling for Fedora rawhide more robust
  • If systemd-repart 256 or newer is available, mkosi will instruct it
    to generate /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab for the image if any
    partition definitions contain the corresponding settings
    (MountPoint= and EncryptedVolume=).
  • bash is now started in the debug shell instead of sh.
  • The default release for Ubuntu is now noble.
  • Ubuntu is now used as the default tools tree distribution for Ubuntu
    instead of Debian.
  • Added mkosi vmspawn which boots the image with systemd-vmspawn.
    Note that systemd-vmspawn is experimental and its interface may
    still change. As such mkosi vmspawn is also considered experimental.
    Note that systemd-vmspawn version 256 or newer is required.
  • Added SyncScripts= which can be used to update various build sources
    before starting the image build.
  • The DISTRIBUTION= and RELEASE= environment variables are now set
    when running scripts.
  • Added ToolsTreeRepositories= and ToolsTreePackageManagerTrees=.
  • Added RuntimeNetwork= to configure the networking used when booting
    the image.
  • Added SecureBootKeySource= and VerityKeySource= to support signing
    images with OpenSSL engines. Note that these settings require various
    systemd tools to be version 256 or newer.
  • We don't clean up package manager metadata anymore unless explicitly
    requested with CleanPackageManagerMetadata=yes when building
    directory and tar images.
