Warewulf v4.7.1 released

The Warewulf project is pleased to announce the release of Warewulf v4.7.1, now available on GitHub.

Warewulf v4.7.1 is a bug-fix release in the v4.7.x series.

  • wwctl power no longer falls back to the local BMC for nodes with no ipmi: ipaddr:, which could power off the Warewulf server itself
  • wwclient is built with GOAMD64=v1 and no longer fails with an illegal instruction on older nodes
  • prevent image and overlay corruption from 64-bit inode numbers truncating in cpio
  • fix kernel version detection for releases with a version-like suffix after the dist tag
  • several fixes for IPv6-only servers and nodes: dracut boot, wwctl node status, dnsmasq, NetworkManager
  • remove dsa from the default ssh: key types, which could leave nodes with no usable host keys on EL9
  • mount non-root filesystems before image extraction during provision-to-disk
  • overlay template fixes for parent directories and symbolic links
  • dependency updates, including go-jose 4.1.4 for CVE-2026-34986

Significant changes are detailed in the release notes. Additional changes may be listed in the CHANGELOG.
