:rock: What’s new?

:bangbang: Integration tests for Chisel slices :bangbang:
We now support testing of slices in chisel-releases. The tests are orchestrated via Spread so that you can run them in your local workstation.

:pizza: ca-certificates and openssl amended
These two slice definitions files have been improved to mimic more closely the maintainer scripts of their upstream debian packages.

Rocks user research
We’re starting a series of interviews with container users. At the moment, we’re assessing their developer experience with Flask rocks, but we’ll be targeting other domains as well. If you’re willing to participate, please reach out :slightly_smiling_face:

Chisel: slice definitions schema validation update
We’ve updated the existing sliced schema in the SchemaStore to include the recently added top-level essential field.

Fixed Python* slices for arm32v7
Thanks to our new Spread-based tests, we’ve detected an issue with the Python slices for arm32v7. It was a missing dependency which has now been fixed.

:snake: Chiselled Python3.10 is out!

New package slices:

  • httping
  • python3.12-venv
  • libtiff6
  • ffmpeg
