1.1.3

Install time features

Install-time work dominates here. The biggest feature work in this release is completing support for extended bootc features such as logically bound images and kernel arguments in Anaconda (taking over the now legacy ostree container image deploy) handling.
PR: #915

The second most notable change is that bootc install no longer requires any bind mounts such as -v /dev:/dev -v /var/lib/containers:/var/lib/containers to be explicitly specified.
PR: #919

Finally, we now support to-existing-root installs for systems that are already using ostree, by leveraging stateroots. The idea additionally is to aid "factory reset" scenarios.
PR: #137

Image content

We now accept images that do not have a /ostree directory at all. This is preparation for loosening our base image requirements; at the current time we recommend that people creating new base images try this out. But you should avoid trying to remove it from existing base images until support for this has propagated to the oldest release that you want to upgrade from.

Internal changes

• A large internal change that landed in this release is that the code from the ostree-rs-ext repository was merged into this one. The future of ostree-container functionality is bootc.
