| Release Notes for OpenPower Firmware v2.3-rc2 |
| ============================================= |
| |
| op-build v2.3-rc2 was released on Friday April 5th, 2019. It will become the new stable release of |
| op-build, following on from v2.2, first released on March 9th, 2019. |
| |
| The op-build v2.3 release cycle is a uniquely shorter one as we’ve been working on getting ready to |
| have a more reliably predictable release schedule going for future releases. |
| |
| op-build v2.3-rc2 contains all the fixes as of op-build v2.0.15, and we expect to continue to do |
| stable 2.0.y releases of v2.0 into the forseeable future. |
| |
| Please note that this is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not the final v2.3 release. We expect to do a final |
| v2.3 tagged release early April 2019. Please test this release candidate heavily! |
| |
| Known Bugs |
| ---------- |
| |
| We have one known bug (carried over from rc1) that are currently release blockers for the final |
| v2.3. |
| |
| - There exists a bug where Control-C behaviour in the petitboot shell has changed, which may cause |
| some test scripts to get confused. |
| |
| Fixed Bugs |
| ---------- |
| |
| One of the two bugs listed in “known bugs” for rc1 has been fixed: |
| |
| - There exists a bug where boot devices *may* not show up in petitboot until “Rescan Devices” is |
| selected. |
