Release 0.1.12

New features

Added support for configuring kernel arguments in container builds via the new /usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d file; these kernel arguments can be changed "day 2" via container updates. More in https://containers.github.io/bootc/building/kernel-arguments.html

New subcommand bootc container lint that can be used in container builds via e.g. RUN bootc container lint. This is intended to be a cheap command to run that will detect at build time some common problems.

Other changes

A variety of improvements to the documentation landed
This release includes changes to the default install to-disk code and partitioning layout in preparation for supporting s390x, among other architectures.

Internals

Significant work on testing landed, with more to come; this should increase velocity and confidence.
