Hi all! I was doing another release today, and I thought that doing a Baserock release too wouldn't hurt, so here it is. Take this email as a release announcement, or as a release notes review, that will depend on how good they are and if nobody wants any changes: # Baserock 16.13 is released! ## Definitions compatibility The Baserock reference systems are defined using version 7 of the definitions format. In 15.47, version 6 was used. The baserock-16.13 tag of definitions can be built with Morph from 15.47. The version of Morph in Baserock 16.13 can build definitions versions 7 and 8 For more information about these versions, see here: <http://wiki.baserock.org/definitions> and <https://docs.baserock.org> ## Changes since 15.47 This release is full of changes! * A lot of new components added and upgraded to the GNOME systems, and trust me, when I say "a lot", I mean it. * Some security related upgrades: - OpenSSL to 1.0.1s - Upgraded Git to 2.8.0-rc2 - Cgit to v.0.12 for security issues (TODO) - Upgraded to a recent version of glibc 2.22 branch * Added fail2ban to Trove systems, see how you can configure it here: <http://wiki.baserock.org/guides/configure-fail2ban/> * Added a generic IVI system and cluster for `x86_64` and Jetson. * Other various upgrades: - Upgraded Qt to 5.6 - Libcal to 2.0.0 - xserver to 1.18.2 - Systemd to v229 - Fuse to 2.9.4 - curl to 7.47.1 - connman 1.31 - alsa-lib and alsa-utils v1.0.29 - bluez to 5.37 - libxml2 to v2.9.3 - libcrypt to 1.5.5 - mesa to 1.11.2 - libdrm 2.4.67 - xdg-app-common to 0.4.13 - weston/wayland to 1.9.0 - dbus to 1.10.6 - gstreamer components to 1.6.3 - freetype to 2.6.2 - ... * Other bugfixes and improvements: see the Git logs of [definitions.git](http://git.baserock.org/cgit/baserock/baserock/definitio... and [morph.git](http://git.baserock.org/cgit/baserock/baserock/morph.git/log/?... for a full list.
