This file will contain a list of notable changes for each release. Note the information in this file is in reverse order.
OpenRC-0.13.2
A chroot variable has been added to the service script variables. This fixes the support for running a service in a chroot. This is documented in man 8 openrc-run.
The netmount service now mounts nfs file systems. This change was made to correct a fix for an earlier bug.
OpenRC-0.13
/sbin/rc was renamed to /sbin/openrc and /sbin/runscript was renamed to /sbin/openrc-run due to naming conflicts with other software.
Backward compatible symbolic links are currently in place so your system will keep working if you are using the old names; however, it is strongly advised that you migrate to the new names because the symbolic links will be removed in the future. Warnings have been added to assist with this migration; however, due to the level of noise they produce, they only appear in verbose mode in this release.
The devfs script now handles the initial mounting and setup of the /dev directory. If /dev has already been mounted by the kernel or an initramfs, devfs will remount /dev with the correct mount options instead of mounting a second /dev over the existing mount point.
It attempts to mount /dev from fstab first if an entry exists there. If it doesn't it attempts to mount devtmpfs if it is configured in the kernel. If not, it attempts to mount tmpfs. If none of these is available, an error message is displayed and static /dev is assumed.
OpenRC-0.12
The net.* scripts, originally from Gentoo Linux, have been removed. If you need these scripts, look for a package called netifrc, which is maintained by them.
