Significant changes

Python setuptools 82.0.0 removed pkg_resources

py3-setuptools has been upgraded to 82.0.0, which removed the deprecated<br>pkg_resources module. Projects that still depend on it will no longer<br>work and should migrate to its successors.

qemu-binfmt service deprecated

The qemu-binfmt service from qemu-openrc is deprecated in favor of<br>binfmt.d config files from user mode qemu packages combined with the<br>binfmt service.

Installer improvements

The installer (setup-alpine) now supports the Limine boot loader and<br>has gained IPv6 support. When installing from a serial console, the boot<br>loader and kernel will automatically be configured with serial console<br>support, making headless setups smoother.

COSMIC 1 desktop

The COSMIC desktop environment by<br>System76 is now available in the community repository.

GTK+ 3.0 moved to community

GTK+ 3.0 has been moved from main to the community repository.

Package removals

py3-six has been removed. Additional GTK 2 and Qt5 packages have been<br>removed as part of ongoing deprecation efforts. libsoup 2 has also been<br>removed.

Upgrade notes

As always, make sure to use apk upgrade --available when switching between<br>major versions.

Users with / and /usr on separate filesystems (which is unsupported) need<br>take special care. See the wiki for<br>details.

Changes

The full list of changes can be found in the wiki, git log and<br>bug tracker.
