# Baserock 15.47 is released! For an online version of these release notes, please visit: <http://wiki.baserock.org/releases/baserock-15.47> ## Definitions compatibility The Baserock reference systems are defined using version 6 of the definitions format. In 15.34, version 5 was used. The baserock-15.47 tag of definitions can be built with Morph from 15.34. The version of Morph in Baserock 15.47 can build definitions versions 6 and 7. For more information about these versions, see here: <http://wiki.baserock.org/definitions> ## Changes since 15.34 This release is packed full of awesome, see below! * GNOME! Yes that's right we have GNOME now :D This is still work in progress, but the basic components you need to run a gnome desktop are there. * Python 3 by default (Python 2 will still be selected if you're building any components that require it.) * locales! All glibc supported locales are now installed by default! * Schemas for definitions format * Rawdisk partitioning support * install-files: allow definition of manifests in multiple variables * clang installed by default * llvm 3.7 * linux-user-chroot v2015.1 * git man pages * Morph updates: - Add support for Baserock definitions version 7. Build systems will soon be defined in a DEFAULTS file in definitions, when this happens you'll be able to define your own custom build systems! - It's now an error to define two chunks with the same name within the same system. * Other bugfixes and improvements: see the Git logs of [definitions.git](http://git.baserock.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/baserock/basero... and [morph.git](http://git.baserock.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/baserock/baserock/mor... for a full list.
