1.1.0

CLI

Released on 11 November. It follows 1.0.0. Download it from peridio.com/downloads or the GitHub release.

Upgrading from 1.0.0

  • Most extensions rebuild once. The build hash now includes the sysroot tree. An extension with a compile or install package and no package_files rebuilds on every build. A switch to a different runtime also rebuilds the extension.

New

  • Per-target distro overrides. A target-<name>: block inside distro: now applies to that target. Before, the CLI ignored it. One board can stay on a different release or channel:

    distro:
  release: 2026
  target-raspberrypi0-2w:
    release: 2024

    A key that the block sets replaces the base key, also in {{ config.distro.* }} and in the SDK image tag. avocado update --target gets the snapshot from the feed of that target.

  • runtimes.<name>.var.initial_os_rollback (default true). Set it to false to leave the OS bundle out of the provisioned var image. The var image is then smaller, but the device cannot roll back to the provisioned OS. The signed manifest and OTA updates do not change.

Changed

  • enable_services on an extension without confext is a warning, not an [ERROR]. It was never fatal.

Fixes

  • enable_services accepts a template instance, such as wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service, when the extension ships the template. If the template comes from the rootfs, the build still fails, and the error tells you to put the link in the overlay.
  • ext install and then ext build works in a project with one runtime. ext install now takes -r/--runtime. Without it, the command uses the only runtime or the default runtime.
  • A new extension version leaves only one release file. Before, the old extension-release files stayed in the image, and the device ran the AVOCADO_ON_MERGE hook of each old version.
  • A re-provision no longer reuses a larger, stale var image.
  • --sdk-arch gets to ext image and the provision version query. On an arm64 host with an x86_64 SDK, the build failed with mkfs.erofs: command not found.
  • avocado install keeps extension sysroots when a runtime reinstalls clean. Before, build then stopped with "has no package database".
  • The SDK install no longer moves the container's own tools, such as uname and mv, out of /usr/bin. This caused "command not found" in later steps.
  • ext build no longer skips a stale sysroot after an edit to a source that an install script copies, or after a build of a different runtime.
  • connect runtimes list shows draft runtimes.
  • avocado-ext-cli builds again.
  • Security. config validate no longer shows environment variable values in error paths or messages. Before, a {{ env.X }} key showed its value in the error path, so a tool that showed the result also showed the token.

Release files

  • SHA256SUMS verifies every archive. sha256sum -c failed for the Windows and Linux (gnu) archives.
  • The Homebrew formula is current again. Each release now opens the tap update as a pull request.
