Weekly status for the week of 22nd April to 28th April.
Introduction
Last week there was an interim snap release of LXD 5.0.3 that introduced the new images: remote to the lxc CLI command (along with some bug fixes). This was to ensure that the 5.0/stable channel continued to have access to non-Ubuntu images as the previous community image server is set to become unavailable on 2024-05-01. Please see the release notes post for more detail.
Bug fixes
- Fixed some issues with MicroOVN and LXD snap interactions when being installed/uninstalled in specific order which could prevent installation/uninstallation of the snap packages.
- Fixed issue with using
nanofrom the LXD snap as a non-root user. - Improved setup of ZFS pool configurations at create and mount times to avoid redundant set calls.
- Improved database query efficiency when retrieving storage pool volume lists for multiple pools.
- Updated
Makefileto build dqlite using its bundled raft and not build raft separately.
