Important

This release has been restored after having been erroneously deleted from GitHub. The attached assets have been rebuilt from the original source. Behavior should be 100% identical; but you may notice that package checksums/hashes have changed.

We are investiating methods for preventing this from happening in the future, and apologize for any confusion.

Warewulf v4.6.0 is a significant upgrade, with many changes relative to the v4.5.x series:

  • new configuration upgrade system
  • changes to the default profile
  • renaming containers to (node) images
  • new kernel management system
  • parallel overlay builds
  • sprig functions in overlay templates
  • improved network overlays
  • nested profiles
  • arbitrary "resources" data in nodes.conf
  • NFS client configuration in nodes.conf
  • emphatically optional syncuser
  • improved network boot observability
  • movements towards Debian/Ubuntu support

Particularly significant changes, especially those affecting the user interface, are described in the release notes. Additional changes not impacting the user interface are listed in the CHANGELOG.
