This release primarily fixes a regression in 2020.4 where the "readonly sysroot" changes incorrectly left the sysroot read-only on systems that started out with a read-only / (most of them, e.g. Fedora Silverblue/IoT at least)

One thing not fixed in this release that also changed in 2020.4 is that if you were shipping an OS build with device trees before proper support landed in 2020.4, you may need to "ratchet" an upgrade process. See the linked issue for ongoing discussion.
Link: #2154

There's some additions to the pull API to aid flatpak, and although it turns out those are likely to be obviated by #2167 - we will retain those options in the future.
Link: #2166

There were a few fixes to the man pages, and ostree show now displays the parent commit.

The default dracut config now enables reproducibility.
Link: #2170

On the "feature" side, there is a new ostree admin unlock --transient. We expect this to be a foundation for further support for "live" updates.

Finally, various CI improvements landed - more testing of FCOS in PXE/ISO, and most notably there's a large brand new test (written in Rust) that exercises a mix of kill -9 and reboot -ff (immediate forced reboots) while upgrading.
