rkt v0.1.1 Release Notes

  • 🚀 The most significant change in this release is that the spec has been split into its own repository (https://github.com/appc/spec), and significantly 🚀 updated since the last release - so many of the changes were to update to match ✅ the latest spec.

    • stage1 is now properly decoupled from host runtime
    • 👍 stage1 supports socket activation
    • stage1 no longer warns about timezones
    • 🔊 cas now logs download progress to stdout
    • 🔒 rkt run now acquires an exclusive lock on the container directory and records the PID of the process
