0.9.6 (2020-11-07)
==================
Disk
----
* Correctly fix EFI vars directory issue.
Image Creation
--------------
* An issue regarding creating archives with symlinks has been fixed.
Metadata
--------
* Horizon now runs ``update-boot`` when bootloader installation is requested.
Network
-------
* PPPoE: An issue reading certain configuration keys has been fixed.
Tests
-----
* Many additional test cases have been added, bringing code coverage to nearly
97%.
0.9.5 (2020-09-27)
==================
Disk
----
* Remount EFI vars directory correctly during UEFI bootloader installation.
* Force creation of ext4 file systems.
Image Creation
--------------
* Dracut is now called inside the chroot, making it easier to create foreign
architecture media.
Qt UI
-----
* An issue with installing bootloaders has been fixed.
* The Wi-Fi network selection page has been redesigned to be easier to use, and
now has a help file.
* It is now possible to format partitions from the manual mount selection page.
* A build issue with unstable versions of Qt has been fixed. Note that non-LTS
versions of Qt are still officially unsupported. If you have issues using a
self-built version of Horizon, please build against Qt 5.12 before reporting.
* It is now possible to build the Runtime Environment wizard for Macintosh.
* The manual mount code was rewritten to perform faster in complex scenarios.
* Dracut will now be installed to the target when the bootloader is selected.
0.9.4 (2020-08-30)
==================
Boot to Horizon
---------------
* Add ``gfxdetect`` oneshot, to reassure the user that System Installation
is starting.
Disk
----
* Create Apple Partition Map disk labels correctly.
Documentation
-------------
* The JSON schema used by ``hscript-fromjson`` has been documented in
Chapter 4 of the HorizonScript Reference Manual.
HorizonScript Library
---------------------
* Work around a bug in Alpine Linux that prevents ``/dev/stdin`` from being
canonicalised.
* Add initial support for MIPS. This does not include an automatic
partitioner, which is required for Tier 1 support.
Image Creation
--------------
* CDs now use Dracut for initramfs instead of the custom init from 2016.
This also means that live media can load modules instead of relying on
only built-in kernel drivers.
Metadata
--------
* If a service has already been enabled via an external process, such as
having an entry in /etc/runlevels from the packaging itself, the
``svcenable`` key will no longer cause script execution to fail.
* The ``bootloader`` key now takes two parameters, with the first one
being a required device specification for where to install the system
bootloader. The second parameter is identical to the original specification
of ``bootloader``, except that the ``false`` value is no longer valid.
Qt UI
-----
* All references to ConsoleKit have been replaced with elogind.
Tests
-----
* Several tests were added to ensure continued correctness of various metadata
keys, including:
* Non-alphanumeric ``hostname`` s should fail.
* Correctness of the ``version`` key implementation.
* Various usages, valid and invalid, of the ``bootloader`` key.
0.9.3 (2020-07-06)
==================
Boot to Horizon
---------------
* Set X11 root window colour to calming blue.
* Disable compositing in KWin, which can cause issues in Qemu.
Build system
------------
* Only search for the BCNM library when building the Qt UI for Installation.
* Add ``BUILD_ISO`` toggle for building the ISO backend for Image Creation.
HorizonScript Library
---------------------
* Ensure mount directory tree exists before attempting to create the actual
directory.
* Recursively bind-mount ``/dev`` and ``/sys`` in the target.
* When using the ImageOnly flag, don't ensure mountpoint devices are available.
* Fix issue where installation on live media failed due to network state.
Image Creation
--------------
* Add 'keep' option for ISO backend to preserve target dir between runs.
* Ensure ``init`` binary is executable in ISO initramfs.
* Correctly read scripts from stdin.
JSON
----
* Add ``service`` node support, which corresponds to the ``svcenable`` key.
Metadata
--------
* Add new ``bootloader`` key, to control installation of bootloaders.
* Fixes for EFI installations.
* Add optional runlevel parameter to ``svcenable`` key.
Network
-------
* Allow hostnames to start with numeric characters. This represents a
*potentially breaking change* to systems that require RFC 952 compliance.
* Add new ``pppoe`` key for configuring PPPoE links.
Qt UI
-----
* Properly flush log file to disk.
* Add workaround for network issue.
* Install SDDM for graphical installation types.
* Use bootloader key when a bootloader is requested.
* Fix various minor issues in custom package selection screen.
* Use ``vfat`` instead of ``fat32`` for ESP filesystem type.
* Correctly enable udev when udev is selected.
0.9.2 (2020-06-06)
==================
Boot to Horizon
---------------
* Added resources to enable booting to the System Installation Wizard.
Metadata
--------
* Update ``keymap`` to use kbd instead of console-setup.
Qt UI
-----
* Ensure log is opened properly when built in Release modes.
* Fix up signing keys, installed packages, and enabled services.
0.9.1 (2020-06-03)
==================
Build
-----
* Don't build the printowner utility in the Runtime Environment.
HorizonScript Library
---------------------
* Add new ScriptLocation object to more accurately report warnings and errors.
* Target mounts are no longer hardcoded to be a subdirectory of ``/target``.
* APK ``--keys-dir`` argument is now relative.
* Files downloaded from the network are written properly before execution
continues, ensuring partial writes do not corrupt installation state.
* Execution of user keys works in cross-architecture script execution contexts.
Image Creation
--------------
* Run ``prepare`` before script execution.
* A root mount is no longer required to generate an image.
* The target is now a subdirectory of the IR dir, instead of the IR dir itself.
* Backends can now accept options via ``-b``.
* An ISO backend has been added, allowing generation of Live CDs.
Metadata
--------
* Add the ``svcenable`` key, allowing configuration of default services.
* Add the ``version`` key, allowing the version of Adélie to be selected.
* ``hostname``: Create ``/etc`` in the target if it does not yet exist. This
is required to properly generate Alpine Linux images.
* ``timezone``: Remove the existing ``/etc/localtime`` in all cases.
Qt UI
-----
* Fix building for Runtime Environment.
* Properly support High DPI screens.
* Properly check length of root passphrase.

-------------
* All tools and libraries, except libhscript, have been documented with
manual pages.
