rkt v1.1.0 Release Notes
-
๐ This release is the first incremental release since 1.0. It includes bugfixes and some UX improvements.
๐ New features and UX changes
- โ Add support for non-numerical UID/GID as specified in the appc spec (#2159). rkt can now start apps as the user and group specified in the image manifest with three different possible formats: a numeric UID/GID, a username and group name referring to the ACI's /etc/passwd and /etc/group, or a file path in the ACI whose owner will determine the UID/GID.
- ๐ When an application terminates with a non-zero exit status,
rkt run
should return that exit status (#2198). This is now fixed in the src and host flavors with systemd >= v227 but not yet in the shipped coreos flavor. - ๐ Use exit status 2 to report usage errors (#2149).
- โ Add support for tuning pod's network via the CNI tuning plugin (#2140). For example, this allows increasing the size of the listen queue for accepting new TCP connections (
net.core.somaxconn
) in the rkt pod. - ๐ Keep $TERM from the host when entering a pod (#1962). This fixes the command "clear" which previously was not working.
