Rockcraft 1.14 release notes¶

Minimum hardware requirements¶

• AMD64, ARM64, ARMv7-M, RISC-V 64-bit, PowerPC 64-bit little-endian, or S390x processor

• 2GB RAM

• 10GB available storage space

• Internet access for remote software sources and the Snap Store

Platform requirements¶

New entrypoint-command project key¶

This key defines the rock’s OCI entrypoint, bypassing the default Pebble-powered entrypoint. It can be necessary for cases like OS and base images, where an application-centric Pebble service is inadequate.

See the rockcraft.yaml reference for usage details.

New jlink-extra-modules key¶

The new jlink-extra-modules key in the JLink plugin defines modules to add to the generated OpenJDK image.

Maven Use plugin reference¶

In the documentation, we added a Maven Use plugin reference.

Contribution guidelines¶

We’ve added a CONTRIBUTING.md file describing the general approach and guidelines for contributing to the Rockcraft codebase. If you have an idea for an improvement, be sure to check it out.

Improved test command¶

The test command now packs and tests all platforms that can be built on the running environment.

Improved keyserver support in package-repositories¶

If an attempt to connect to the default keyserver to retrieve a public key fails, the package-repositories mechanism will now try to connect through port 80 while also respecting proxy addresses set via the standard http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables.

Improved conflict detection between the overlay and build steps¶

The collision resolution during the stage step now takes into account the contents of the overlay.

Improved documentation for 12-factor app extensions¶

The tutorial and reference pages for all 12-factor app extensions were improved based on user feedback, with fixes to multiple steps that were showstoppers.
