| ### About | ||
|
|
||
| Grml is a Debian based live system focusing on the needs of system administrators. | ||
| The {{< param release_version >}} release provides fresh software packages from Debian trixie. | ||
| As usual it also incorporates up to date hardware support and fixes known bugs from previous Grml releases. | ||
|
|
||
| About [the codename]({{< ref "faq#releasename" >}}). | ||
|
|
||
| **NOTE:** [20 Years of Grml Releases](https://blog.grml.org/archives/417-20-years-grml-releases.html), please join us in celebrating! | ||
|
|
||
| ### Important changes | ||
|
|
||
| * We are proud to announce our first release supporting 64-bit ARM CPUs (Architecture **arm64**). | ||
| * Please be aware that we [cannot support 32-bit x86 PCs](https://blog.grml.org/archives/416-grml32-sunset.html) anymore, and **no i386** ISO images have been produced. | ||
| * New **Grml flavour naming schema**: now that the i386 flavour grml32 is gone, also grml96 no longer exists as such (grml96 was known as combination of grml64 + grml32 in one single ISO). | ||
| Instead we gained the new architecture known as `arm64`. | ||
| Due to this our new naming convention now is _grml-$FLAVOUR-$VERSION-$ARCH_. | ||
| Example: _grml-full-2024.12-amd64_ is the _grml-full_ flavour in version _2024.12_ for architecture _amd64_. | ||
| * The Grml amd64 flavour now supports **UEFI 32-bit boot** | ||
| * Refreshed our **Grml theme** within the GRUB bootloader (UEFI boot) | ||
|
|
||
| ### New features | ||
|
|
||
| Highlighting the most relevant changes only: | ||
|
|
||
| <!-- misc --> | ||
|
|
||
| * `grml-lang`: support language settings for `UK/GB` | ||
| * `grml-vnet`: replace `tunctl` + `brctl` with `ip(8)` | ||
| * `grml-paste`: the [Grml paste service is gone](https://blog.grml.org/archives/415-Infrastructure-overhaul-web-paste-blog.html), the script uses [paste.debian.net](https://paste.debian.net/) now | ||
| * `cpu-screen`: replace C source implementation with implementation in Perl (to get arch all packages) + hide `[ cpufreq n/a ]` | ||
| * `grml2usb`: introduce automatic bootloader selection, use `nasm` to assemble `mbr`, add smoke test, loosen dependency on `grub2`, copy `bootaa64.efi` if available and make `blockdev --rereadpt` optional | ||
| * [Moved Git repositories and Grml wiki to GitHub.com](https://blog.grml.org/archives/414-Migrated-Git-and-Wiki-services.html) | ||
| * Refreshed all Debian packages to follow current best practices | ||
| * Reworked our services and build release infrastructure | ||
|
|
||
| #### [grml-hwinfo](/grml-hwinfo/) - collect hardware information: | ||
|
|
||
| * Collect output in JSON format of several tools like `losetup`, `findmnt`, `lscpu` + `lsblk` in the `json` sub directory | ||
| * Retrieve generic information about `NVMe` disks | ||
| * `lsblk`: improve output, also for it JSON output | ||
| * Retrieve ZFS related data | ||
| * Update `inxi` output | ||
| * Reduce execution time by ~60% by dropping `dpkg` call to get kernel information | ||
| * Misc improvements to stderr handling | ||
|
|
||
| #### [grml-live](/grml-live/) - build system for creating Grml (based) Linux live systems: | ||
|
|

| * Do not add /dev to squashfs | ||
| * Drop deborphan from GRMLBASE, no longer present since Debian/trixie | ||
| * Drop several boot addons | ||
| * Drop support for all boot methods other than isolinux + GRUB | ||
| * Ensure files are copied with fcopy into chroot with expected permissions | ||
| * etc/fstab/GRMLBASE: use reserved IP following RFC5737 | ||
| * Generate source package tarball when using SOURCES class | ||
| * get-sources: run apt-get source parallelized | ||
| * GRMLBASE/15-initsetup: mask ldconfig.service | ||
| * grml-live: introduce hasclass helper function | ||
| * GRUB templates: move non-addon entries out of addons.cfg | ||
| * GRUB templates: replaced GRUB boot theme | ||
| * Improved support for usage inside containers | ||
| * Initialize zsh caches so first startup on Live CD is faster | ||
| * Introduce architecture specific boot addon templates | ||
| * Misc software related changes in `GRMLBASE`, `GRML_SMALL` + `GRML_FULL` classes | ||
| * netboot package: use `ISO_NAME-netboot.tar` as output name (without .iso) | ||
| * New build-driver for CI integration in release pipeline | ||
| * Removed several deprecated workarounds for old Debian releases | ||
| * Remove grml-live-db and support for writing into it | ||
| * Rework wallpaper handling | ||
| * Strip xattrs in squashfs | ||
| * Support UEFI 32-bit boot on amd64 | ||
| * The `grml_sources` directory is no longer bind-mounted into the chroot (to support unprivileged container usage) | ||
| * Update codebase to make it shellcheck clean | ||
|
|
||
| #### [grml-zshrc](/zsh/) - Zsh configuration: | ||
|
|
||
| * `zshrc`: set `HISTSIZE` + `SAVEHIST` only if not yet set or being set to Zsh upstream default | ||
| * `zshenv`: add `~/.local/bin` to default `PATH` | ||
| * `zlogout` is gone with the grml-etc-core package (to remove the feature clearing the terminal screen) | ||
|
|
||
| #### [grml-debootstrap](/grml-debootstrap/) - wrapper around debootstrap for installing pure Debian: | ||
|
|
||
| * Switch default debootstrap tool to mmdebstrap | ||
| * Drop support for cdebootstrap | ||
| * Disable ext4 feature orphan_file for older releases | ||
| * interactive mode: ignore failures when identifying file system fails | ||
| * mkfs: avoid blockdev failing to re-read partition table | ||
| * Implement `clean_chroot` to avoid host environment variables like `TMP` to leak into the chroot | ||
| * Implemented GitHub workflow + actions for automated test runs | ||
|
|
||
| ### Bits & bolts | ||
|
|
||
| * Linux kernel **{{< param kernel_version >}}** | ||
