ZFSBootMenu 1.4 includes significant internal changes and some user-visible functional changes in the generate-zbm script.
Fixes
- Internal improvements to
generate-zbmto improve consistency and facilitate future development. - Management of versioned image retention should now be more consistent with expectation. Versioned ZBM images now increment a revision number when existing images with the same version already exist, and the retention policy preserves a configurable number of revisions for the current version alongside the latest revision of each of the same number of prior versions.
- Improved error handling should make failures in
generate-zbmeasier to understand.
New features
- Move from an INI configuration format to YAML, which should provide more flexibility for future enhancements.
- Provide a
--migratecommand-line option to convert existing INI configurations to the new format. - Add configuration options to change default behavior for
--kernel,--kverand--prefixto makegenerate-zbmeasier to incorporate on non-Void systems. - Add a configuration option to change the default behavior for
--versionto allow customized output versioning of images. - Support string interpolation of
%currentor%{current}tags in--kverand--versionvalues. - Add a
--cmdlinecommand-line option to override the configuredCommandLinevalue without editing the configuration file.
