The first half of April was focused on the new LTS releases of lxc and incus, as well as making the final significant uploads before the trixie soft freeze began on April 15th.

After the soft freeze started, my focus shifted to fixing RC bugs and final polishing work in preparation for trixie. It’s going to be a great release!

Highlights

  • Cherry-picked a couple small bug fixes post-LTS release for lxc and incus

  • Investigated a report of arm64 VMs failing to start in incus; ultimately tracked down to a change in the qemu-efi-aarch64 package (#1103906)
  • Performed final package polishing and testing in preparation for the trixie release
  • Backported version bookworm also updated to the 6.0.4 LTS release
