+- no more prelinking
+- scan and install "external" kernel modules
+- fixed instmods with zero input
+- rdsosreport: best effort to strip out passwords
+- introduce tri-state hostonly mode
+
+ Add a new option --hostonly-mode which accept an <mode> parameter, so we have a tri-state hostonly mode:
+
+ * generic: by passing "--no-hostonly" or not passing anything.
+ "--hostonly-mode" has no effect in such case.
+ * sloppy: by passing "--hostonly --hostonly-mode sloppy". This
+ is also the default mode when only "--hostonly" is given.
+ * strict: by passing "--hostonly --hostonly-mode strict".
+
+ Sloppy mode is the original hostonly mode, the new introduced strict
+ mode will allow modules to ignore more drivers or do some extra job to
+ save memory and disk space, while making the image less portable.
+
+ Also introduced a helper function "optional_hostonly" to make it
+ easier for modules to leverage new hostonly mode.
+
+ To force install modules only in sloppy hostonly mode, use the form:
+
+ hostonly="$(optional_hostonly)" instmods <modules>

+dmsquash-live:
+- fixed livenet-generator execution flag
+ and include only, if systemd is used
+- fixed dmsquash-live-root.sh for cases where the fstype of the liveimage is squashfs
+- fixed typo for rootfs.img
+- enable the use of the OverlayFS for the LiveOS root filesystem
+ Patch notes:
+ Integrate the option to use an OverlayFS as the root filesystem
+ into the 90dmsquash-live module for testing purposes.
+
+ The rd.live.overlay.overlayfs option allows one to request an
+ OverlayFS overlay. If a persistent overlay is detected at the
+ standard LiveOS path, the overlay & type detected will be used.
+
+ Tested primarily with transient, in-RAM overlay boots on vfat-
+ formatted Live USB devices, with persistent overlay directories
+ on ext4-formatted Live USB devices, and with embedded, persistent
+ overlay directories on vfat-formatted devices. (Persistent overlay
+ directories on a vfat-formatted device must be in an embedded
+ filesystem that supports the creation of trusted.* extended
+ attributes, and must provide valid d_type in readdir responses.)
+
+ The rd.live.overlay.readonly option, which allows a persistent
+ overlayfs to be mounted read only through a higher level transient
+ overlay directory, has been implemented through the multiple lower
+ layers feature of OverlayFS.
+
+ The default transient DM overlay size has been adjusted up to 32 GiB.
+ This change supports comparison of transient Device-mapper vs.
+ transient OverlayFS overlay performance. A transient DM overlay
+ is a sparse file in memory, so this setting does not consume more
+ RAM for legacy applications. It does permit a user to use all of
+ the available root filesystem storage, and fails gently when it is
+ consumed, as the available free root filesystem storage on a typical
+ LiveOS build is only a few GiB. Thus, when booted on other-
+ than-small RAM systems, the transient DM overlay should not overflow.
+
+ OverlayFS offers the potential to use all of the available free RAM
+ or all of the available free disc storage (on non-vfat-devices)
+ in its overlay, even beyond the root filesystem available space,
+ because the OverlayFS root filesystem is a union of directories on
+ two different partitions.
+
+ This patch also cleans up some message spew at shutdown, shortens
+ the execution path in a couple of places, and uses persistent
+ DM targets where required.
+
+dmraid:
+- added "nowatch" option in udev rule, otherwise udev would reread partitions for raid members
+- allow booting from degraded MD RAID arrays

+dmsquash:
+- fixup for checkisomd5
+- increase timeout for checkisomd5
+- use non-persistent metadata snapshots for transient overlays.

+
+multipath:
+- multipath.conf included in hostonly mode
+- install all multipath path selector kernel modules
+
+iSCSI:
+- use the iBFT initiator name, if found and set
+- iscsid now present in the initramfs
+- iscsistart is done with systemd-run asynchrone to do things in
+ paralllel. Also restarted for every new interface which shows up.
+- If rd.iscsi.waitnet (default) is set, iscsistart is done only
+ after all interfaces are up.
+- If not all interfaces are up and rd.iscsi.testroute (default) is set,
+ the route to a iscsi target IP is checked and skipped, if there is none.
+- If all things fail, we issue a "dummy" interface iscsiroot to retry

+
+network:
+- added DHCP RENEW/REBIND
+- IPv4 DHCP lease time now optional (bootp)
+- IPv6 nfs parsing
+- fixed IPv6 route parsing

+dracut-043
+==========
+- add missing dmsquash-generator
+
+dracut-042
+==========
+- fixed dmsetup shutdown
+- new kernel command line option "rd.live.overlay.thin"
+ This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
+ dmsquash module.
+ Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
+ of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
+ means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
+ memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.
+- dmsquash: Add squashfs support to rd.live.fsimg
+ Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in
+ (compressed) archives.
+ Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used.
+ This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and
+ then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg.
+- lvm: add support for LVM system id
+- split up the systemd dracut module
+ Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now.
+ Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd.

+- support for creating a UEFI boot executable via argument "--uefi"
+ With an EFI stub, the kernel, the initramfs and a kernel cmdline can be
+ glued together to a single UEFI executable, which can be booted by a
+ UEFI BIOS.

+- support for ethernet point-to-point connections configured via DHCP
+- kernel-modules: install all HID drivers

+- $initrd/etc/cmdline.d/ hostonly files are now generated for NFS
+- make use of systemd-hibernate-resume, if available

+- speed up ldconfig_paths()
+- more ARM modules
+- fixed inst*() functions and "-H" handling
+- fixed bridge setup
+- added --force-drivers parameter and force_drivers=+ config option
+ to enforce driver loading at early boot time
+- documented "iso-scan/filename" usage in grub
+- various bugfixes
+
+dracut-038
+==========
+- "rd.cmdline=ask" will ask the user on the console to enter additional
+ kernel command line parameters
+- "rd.hostonly=0" removes all "hostonly" added custom files,
+ which is useful in combination with "rd.auto" or other specific parameters,
+ if you want to boot on the same hardware, but the compiled in configuration
+ does not match your setup anymore
+- inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which logs all
+ installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used to remove those
+ files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line
+- strstr now only does literal string match,
+ please use strglob and strglobin for globs

+- break at switch_root only for bare rd.break and not for any rd.break=...
+- nbd: make use of "--systemd-mark", otherwise it gets killed on switch_root
+- fcoe-uefi: fixed cmdline parameter generation
+- iscsi: deprecate "ip=ibft", use "rd.iscsi.ibft[=1]" from now on
+- "lsinitrd -m" now only lists the dracut modules of the image
+- a lot of small bugfixes
