[News] Debian Installer Bookworm RC 2 release

#1 Post by None1975 »

The Debian Installer team is pleased to announce the second release candidate of the installer for Debian 12 "Bookworm".

Improvements in this release:

apt-setup:
Enable <codename>-updates when installing testing, not only when installing (old)stable (#991947).
argon2:
Restore threading support in the installer (#1034696).
base-installer:
Install zstd alongside initramfs-tools, like busybox.
choose-mirror:
Update Mirrors.masterlist.
cryptsetup:
Improve support for low-memory systems (#1028250): Check for physical memory available also in PBKDF benchmark, and use only half of detected free memory on systems without swap.
debian-cd:
Include zstd alongside initramfs-tools, like busybox.
debian-installer:
Fix grub font loading, making sure we get the nice graphical splash screen in Secure Boot mode too (#1034535).
grub-installer:
Install shim-signed on i386 and arm64 as well as amd64 when we're installing grub-efi-*-signed packages.
If we detect other operating systems installed, check with the user (at low priority) and re-enable os-prober.
grub2:
Add debconf logic for GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER to make it easier to control things here, particularly useful for the installer (#1031594, #1012865, #1025698).
Add luks2 to the signed grub efi images (#1001248).
Fix probing of LUKS2 devices (#1028301).
Fix Secure Boot on arm64 (#1033657).
Don't warn about os-prober if it's not installed (#1020769).
Fix an issue where a logical volume rename would lead grub to fail to boot (#987008).
live-installer:
Remove the live packages before the cdrom is unmounted, avoiding a long wait at the end of the installation process.
partman-efi:
Fix detection of BIOS-bootable systems, fixing at least the “Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM” use case on UEFI systems (#834373, #1033913).
preseed:
Restore support for the “hostname” alias on the kernel command line (#1031643, #1034062).
Switch auto-install/defaultroot to bookworm.
