v1.28.2

This is a security/bug fix update for 1.28.1

• Changes

  • Warn, but don't fail on MacOS when building on a case insensitive filesystem
    and files overlap. The iptables package particularly problematic. This is a
    temporary workaround to help get past issues created by files that aren't
    actually used at runtime.

• Package updates

  • Buildroot 2024.05.1
  • Erlang/OTP 27.0.1

v1.28.1

This updates erlinit to support abbreviating serial numbers for easier-to-type
hostnames without forcing boardid to produce short serial numbers. If your
Nerves system is still reporting short serial numbers, remove the -n 4 from
your rootfs_overlay/etc/boardid.config. If you still like short serials for
hostnames, edit erlinit.config to specify -n nerves-%-.4s.

• Package updates
  • erlinit 1.14.0
  • bb.org-overlays (bump to latest)

v1.28.0

This update pulls in Buildroot 2024.05 and Erlang/OTP 27.0. This is a major
Buildroot and Erlang update.

Nerves systems need the following updates:

1. If using CircleCI, update the build-tools to 0.3.0 or later. E.g.,
   build-tools: nerves-project/[email protected]
2. Add BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_13=y to the nerves_defconfig to tell
   Buildroot that the toolchain being used is GCC 13. The default is no longer
   GCC 13, so it has to be set.
3. Update to Elixir 1.17 or later. None of the earlier versions of Elixir
   support Erlang/OTP 27. If you can't update, specify an earlier version OTP
   version by adding BR2_PACKAGE_ERLANG_26 (or similar) to the
   nerves_defconfig.

• Changes

  • nerves_system_br Docker image no longer runs as the root user to avoid
    build errors from programs that don't want to be built as root (tar 1.35)

• Package updates

  • Buildroot 2024.05
  • Erlang/OTP 27.0
  • rpicam-apps 1.5.0
  • rpi-libcamera v0.2.0+rpt20240418
  • rpi-distro-firmware-nonfree 20230625-2+rpi2

v1.27.0

This update pulls in Buildroot 2024.02. This is a major Buildroot update.

Nerves systems need the following updates:

1. For Raspberry Pi systems using libcamera, the version that comes with Raspberry
   Pi OS has diverged from upstream libcamera. To use it, replace
   BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAMERA_*=y with BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_LIBCAMERA_*=y.
2. The Raspberry Pi applications for libcamera also changed. Replace
   BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCAMERA_APPS=y with BR2_PACKAGE_RPICAM_APPS=y. The upstream
   package is called rpicam_apps. libcamera_apps was the old name.
