Release notes for 4.3 (nanbield)
--------------------------------

New Features / Enhancements in 4.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  Linux kernel 6.5 and 6.1, gcc 13, glibc 2.38, LLVM 17, and over 300 other recipe upgrades

-  The autobuilder's shared-state artefacts are now available over the `jsDelivr
   <https://jsdelivr.com>`__ Content Delivery Network (CDN).
   See :term:`SSTATE_MIRRORS`.

-  New variables:

   -  :term:`CVE_CHECK_STATUSMAP`, :term:`CVE_STATUS`, :term:`CVE_STATUS_GROUPS`,
      replacing the deprecated :term:`CVE_CHECK_IGNORE`.

   -  :term:`FILE_LAYERNAME`: bitbake now sets this to the name of the layer
      containing the recipe

   -  :term:`FIT_ADDRESS_CELLS` and :term:`UBOOT_FIT_ADDRESS_CELLS`.
      See details below.

   -  :term:`KERNEL_DTBDEST`: directory where to install DTB files.

   -  :term:`KERNEL_DTBVENDORED`: whether to keep vendor subdirectories.

   -  :term:`KERNEL_LOCALVERSION`: to add a string to the kernel version
      information.

   -  :term:`KERNEL_STRIP`: to specify the command to strip the kernel binary.

   -  :term:`LICENSE_FLAGS_DETAILS`: add extra details about a recipe license
      in case it is not allowed by :term:`LICENSE_FLAGS_ACCEPTED`.

   -  :term:`MESON_TARGET`: to compile a specific Meson target instead of the
      default ones.

   -  :term:`OEQA_REPRODUCIBLE_TEST_PACKAGE`: to restrict package managers used
      in reproducibility testing.

-  Layername functionality available through overrides

   Code can now know which layer a recipe is coming from through the newly added :term:`FILE_LAYERNAME`
   variable. This has been added as an override of the form ``layer-<layername>``. In particular,
   this means QA checks can now be layer specific, for example::

      ERROR_QA:layer-core:append = " patch-status"

   This will enable the ``patch-status`` QA check for the core layer.

-  Architecture-specific enhancements:

   -  RISCV support is now enabled in LLVM 17.

   -  Loongarch support in the :ref:`ref-classes-linuxloader` class and
      ``core-image-minimal-initramfs`` image.

   -  The ``arch-armv8`` and ``arch-armv9`` architectures are now given
      `Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
      <https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100891/0612/sve-overview/introducing-sve>`__
      based tune options. Commits:
      :yocto_git:`1 </poky/commit/?id=e4be03be5be62e367a40437a389121ef97d6cff3>`,
      :yocto_git:`2 </poky/commit/?id=8cd5d264af4c346730531cb98ae945ab862dbd69>`.

   -  Many changes to support 64-bit ``time_t`` on 32-bit architectures

-  Kernel-related enhancements:

   - The default kernel is the current stable (6.5), and there is also support
     for the latest long-term release (6.1).

   - The list of fixed kernel CVEs is updated regularly using data from
     `linuxkernelcves.com <https://linuxkernelcves.com>`__.

   - A ``showconfig`` task was added to the :ref:`ref-classes-cml1` class, to
     easily examine the final generated ``.config`` file.

   -  Many updates to the ``runqemu`` command.

   -  The ``qemu-system-native`` recipe is now built with PNG support, which could be
      useful to grab screenshots for error reporting purposes.

-  Rust improvements:

   -  Rust has been upgraded to version 1.70

   -  New ``ptest-cargo`` class was added to allow Cargo based recipes to easily add ptests

   -  New :ref:`ref-classes-cargo_c` class was added to allow recipes to make Rust code
      available to C and C++ programs. See
      ``meta-selftest/recipes-devtools/rust/rust-c-lib-example_git.bb`` for an example.

-  wic Image Creator enhancements:

   -  ``bootimg-efi``: if ``fixed-size`` is set then use that for mkdosfs

   -  ``bootimg-efi``: stop hardcoding VMA offsets, as required by systemd-boot v254
      (and dracut/ukify)

   -  ``bootimg-pcbios``: use kernel name from :term:`KERNEL_IMAGETYPE` instead of
      hardcoding ``vmlinuz``

   -  Added new ``gpt-hybrid`` option to ``ptable_format`` (formatting a disk with a hybrid
      MBR and GPT partition scheme)

   -  Use ``part_name`` in default imager when defined

   -  Added ``--hidden`` argument to default imager to avoid MS Windows prompting to
      format partition after flashing to a USB stick/SD card

-  FIT image related improvements:

   -  New :term:`FIT_ADDRESS_CELLS` and :term:`UBOOT_FIT_ADDRESS_CELLS` variables allowing
      to specify 64 bit addresses, typically for loading U-Boot.

   -  Added ``compatible`` line to config section (with value from dtb) to allow bootloaders
      to select the best matching configuration.


-  SDK-related improvements:

   -  Extended the following recipes to ``nativesdk``: ``libwebp``, ``python3-ply``

-  Testing:

   -  The :ref:`ref-classes-insane` class now adds an :ref:`unimplemented-ptest
      <qa-check-unimplemented-ptest>` infrastructure to detect package sources
      with unit tests but no implemented ptests in the recipe.

   -  A new task to perform recipe-wide QA checks was added: ``do_recipe_qa``.

   -  New build-time checks for set :term:`SUMMARY`, :term:`HOMEPAGE`, and
      :term:`RECIPE_MAINTAINER` fields was added, and enabled for the core
      recipes.

   -  The ``parselogs`` runtime test was rewritten.  Notably it no longer uses
      regular expressions, which may mean custom patterns need updating.

   -  A self-test to validate that the :term:`SPDX` manifests generated by
      image builds are valid was added.

   -  The ``QEMU_USE_SLIRP`` variable has been replaced by adding ``slirp`` to
      ``TEST_RUNQEMUPARAMS``.

-  Utility script changes:

   -  New ``scripts/patchtest`` utility to check patches to the
      OpenEmbedded-Core project. See
      :ref:`contributor-guide/submit-changes:validating patches with patchtest`
      for details.

   -  ``scripts/bblock`` was added, allowing the user to lock/unlock specific
      recipes from being built. This makes it possibly to work on the
      ``python3`` recipe without causing ``python3-native`` to rebuild.

-  BitBake improvements:

   -  A fetcher for the Google Cloud Platform (``gs://``) was added.

   -  The BitBake Cooker log now contains notes when the caches are
      invalidated which is useful for memory resident BitBake debugging.

   -  BitBake no longer watches files with :wikipedia:`inotify <inotify>` for
      changes, as under load this can lead to races causing build instability.

   -  Toaster's dependencies were upgraded to current releases, specifically
      to Django 4.2.

-  Packaging changes:

   -  :term:`FILES` now accepts a ``**`` wildcard, which matches zero or more
      subdirectories.

   -  The X server packagegroup now defaults to using the ``modesetting`` X
      driver, which obsoletes the ``fbdev`` driver.

   -  If a recipe uses :term:`LICENSE_FLAGS` and the licenses are not accepted,
      it can set a custom message with :term:`LICENSE_FLAGS_DETAILS` to be
      displayed to the users.

   -  Recipes that fetch specific revisions no longer need to explicitly add
      :term:`SRCPV` to :term:`PV` as BitBake will now automatically add the
      revision information to :term:`PKGV` if needed (as long as "+" is still
      present in the :term:`PKGV` value, which is set from :term:`PV` by
      default).

   -  The default :term:`PR` values in many recipes have been removed.

-  Security improvements:

   -  Most repositories now include a :yocto_git:`SECURITY.md
      </poky/tree/SECURITY.md>` file with hints for security researchers
      and other parties who might report potential security vulnerabilities.

-  Prominent documentation updates:

   -  New :doc:`../contributor-guide/index` document.

   -  New :doc:`../dev-manual/security-subjects` chapter in the Development
      Tasks Manual.

   -  Long overdue documentation for the :ref:`ref-classes-devicetree` class.

   -  New :ref:`summary about available init systems
      <dev-manual/init-manager:summary>`.

   -  New documentation for the :ref:`ref-classes-uboot-sign` class and
      its variables and for the :ref:`ref-classes-kernel-devicetree` class
      variables.

-  Miscellaneous changes:

   -  Selecting systemd via :term:`INIT_MANAGER` now adds ``usrmerge`` to
      :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES` as current versions of systemd now require
      merged ``/usr``.

   -  Generation of :term:`SPDX` manifests is now enabled by default.

   -  Git based recipes in OE-Core which used the ``git``  protocol have been
      changed to use `https`` where possible, as it is typically faster and
      more reliable.

   -  The ``os-release`` recipe added a ``CPE_NAME`` to the fields provided, with the
      default being populated from :term:`DISTRO`.

   -  The ``psplash`` recipe now accepts a PNG format image through
      :term:`SPLASH_IMAGES`, instead of a harder to generate and modify
      ``.h`` file.

   -  The ; character is no longer needed to separate functions specified in
      :term:`IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND`, :term:`IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND`,
      :term:`POPULATE_SDK_POST_HOST_COMMAND`, :term:`ROOTFS_POSTINSTALL_COMMAND`
      etc. (If any are present they will be replaced with spaces, so existing
      metadata does not yet need to be changed.)

   -  In the ``Upstream-Status`` field in a patch header, "Accepted" is no longer
      a valid value since it is logically the same as "Backport". Change any
      values you have (particularly in patches applied through bbappends for core
      recipes, since they will be validated as indicated above).


Known Issues in 4.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  N/A


Recipe License changes in 4.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following corrections have been made to the :term:`LICENSE` values set by recipes:

-  ``glib-networking``: make :term:`LICENSE` more accurate (``LGPL-2.1`` -> ``LGPL-2.1-or-later``) and add an exception for linking to OpenSSL if it is enabled (``openssl`` is in :term:`PACKAGECONFIG`)
-  ``libbsd``: set per-package licensing to clarify that BSD-4-Clause code is only in the ``-doc`` package
-  ``openssh``: BSD-4-Clause code has been removed completely from the codebase as part of 9.4p1 update - previously in the kirkstone release, ``BSD-4-Clause`` was removed from the :term:`LICENSE` value in our recipe, however some BSD-4-Clause code actually still remained upstream until 9.4p1.
-  ``python3-sphinx``: remove ``BSD-3-Clause`` from :term:`LICENSE` - BSD-3-Clause code was removed as part of the python3-sphinx 7.0.1 release (see `this upstream commit <https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/commit/a7f5d91c29d6f377b9fe7e926965c6f9d3e7b802>`__)
