Hi all, I am planning to release kexec-tools v2.0.31 in the next two weeks. This is somewhat earlier than the usual every-second kernel release cadence. The reason being that zstd support seems to offer sufficient benefits to warant bringing things forward in this manner. And, to be consistent, I will be open to bringing future releases forwards for similarly good reasons.
I would like to ask interested parties to send any patches they would like included in v2.0.31 within one week so they can be considered for inclusion in an rc release. For reference the patches queued up since v2.0.30 are as follows. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to kexec-tools! a7fcd424c4c8 kexec: Enable zstd in kexec decompression paths 60ce9bdf0e5c zstd: Add zstd decompression logic aecc554e7ba8 Correct string specifiers 6aecc32c6db8 pe-zboot: Truncate the trailing zero if Image is signed 455f55c7c029 PE: Extract get_pehdr_offset() for reuse 0475ec5d3246 x86_64: Support UKI image format c3a991a169e7 kexec: Create a temporary file to hold .linux section in uki_probe() 99d32ffdf1ef UKI: Split out the routine to create temporary fd 21361a91dedd kexec-tools 2.0.30.git
