# OSBuild Composer - Operating System Image Composition Services
## CHANGES WITH 9:
* Fedora is now build with updates and modules repositories
enabled, therefore up-to-date images are now produced.
* A new man-page `osbuild-composer(7)` with high-level
description of the project is now available. It can be built
by the new man target in the Makfile.
* All Fedora images have now a generic initramfs. This should
make the images more reproducible and less likely failing to boot
if the image build was done in a less usual environment.
* Metalink is now used to access the Fedora repositories. This change
should hopefully lead to more stable builds.
* Composer is now released to Fedora 32 and 33 in a new
osbuild-composer package. The old golang-github-osbuild-composer
package will be automatically upgraded to the new one.
* The internal osbuild-pipeline command now has a more user-friendly
interface.
* The RCM API (in development, experimental) is reworked to allow
any distribution-architecture-image type combination.
* The work on a high-level description of image types began.
See image-types directory.
* The osbuild-worker arguments are reworked, they are now much more
flexible.
* The image-info tool used in the integration tests can be now run
on Fedora 32.
* The unit test coverage is now much bigger, thanks to all
contributors!
* Internal distribution representation is significantly reworked,
this simplifies the process of adding the support for all currently
missing architectures.
* Integration tests were also improved, the image tests are fully
switched to the new Go implementation and an automatic way
of generating test cases is added. The weldr API coverage is also
much better. Several bugs in it were fixed in the process.
* Codecov.io is now used to monitor the test coverage of the code.
* As always, minor fixes and improvements all over the place.
