Warewulf v4.5.7 released

The Warewulf project is pleased to announce the release of v4.5.7, now available on GitHub.

Warewulf v4.5.7 fixes the ability to override overlay files configured in profiles with overlays configured per-node; fixes a template processing bug bug in development-time overlay rendering; and improves the preview dracut-based boot process to better support a "secure" boot process.

It also adds the ability to temporarily copy files into containers for possible modification during wwctl container exec and wwctl container shell.

Let us know if you encounter any issues. v4.5.8 is already planned, and we intend to continue to improve and maintain the v4.5.x line while working on the next major release, v4.6.0.

Many thanks to the contributors for this release:

  • Josh Burks (Arizona State University)
  • Jonathon Anderson (CIQ)
  • Elmar Pruessee (National Jewish Health)
  • Christian Goll (Suse)
  • "Jason" Xu Yang (CIQ)
  • Tobias Poschwatta (Zuse Institute Berlin)

To our contributors, and everyone who uses Warewulf: thank you, as always, for being a part of the Warewulf community!
