v1.6.0 / 2024-12-13

Notable changes

Standardizing all Linux build images on Ubuntu

In this release, we upgraded the base image for the x86_64-linux-gnu and x86-linux-gnu images from manylinux2014 to ubuntu:20.04. (manylinux2014 reached end-of-life earlier this year.) As a result, all of the build images are using the same base image, simplifying things considerably. (#122, #126) @flavorjones

⚠ Note there are two important changes due to this upgrade:

1. The minimum supported version of GLIBC for the x86*-linux-gnu images has increased from 2.17 to 2.29 for x86_64 and x86 architectures. (Note that GLIBC was already pinned to 2.29 for ARM architectures.)
2. Precompiled gems built with the x86*linux-gnu images are less likely to be compatible with Musl libc, and may segfault when run on Musl systems.

For (2) above, if you have been shipping a single x86_64-linux native gem for both GNU and Musl systems, please make sure you test your gems on a Musl system before shipping them. See the actions workflow in flavorjones/ruby-c-extensions-explained for an example of how to do this rigorously.

Ruby 3.3 support upgraded to 3.3.5

Update Ruby 3.3 support from 3.3.0-rc1 to 3.3.5. Note that the 3.3.x releases are not usable until 3.3.5 because of https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20088.

⚠ Note that if you were specifying 3.3.0 in your RUBY_CC_VERSION environment variable, that string must be updated to 3.3.5.

Added

• Add support for the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable, which can be used to create reproducible builds. (#128) @segiddins

1.5.2 / 2024-07-30

1.5.2 / 2024-07-30

With CentOS 7 becoming EOL as of 2024-06-30, yum will no longer work in the x86_64-linux-gnu and
x86-linux-gnu images shipped with v1.5.1 and earlier.

In this release, we've updated the manylinux2014 base image for the x86_64-linux-gnu and
x86-linux-gnu images to point at a version patched by pypa to use valid yum mirrors. See
pypa/manylinux#1628 for more information.

1.5.1 / 2024-06-03

Improvements

The x86_64-linux-gnu and x86-linux-gnu containers (based on manylinux_2014) now have a modern version of pkg-config, v0.29.2, installed on them in /usr/local/bin/pkg-config. The distro's version (v0.27.1) is still in /usr/bin/pkg-config if you need to fall back for some reason, but the newer version will be used by default and should be backwards-compatible.

1.5.0 / 2024-02-25

1.5.0 / 2024-02-25

Notable changes

First-class Linux musl libc support

• Add Linux musl cross build targets aarch64-linux-musl, arm-linux-musl, x86-linux-musl, and x86_64-linux-musl. #75, #111 (@flavorjones)
• Add Linux cross build targets aarch64-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnu, x86-linux-gnu, and x86_64-linux-gnu. #111 (@flavorjones)
• The cross build targets aarch64-linux, arm-linux, x86-linux, and x86_64-linux are now aliases for the *-linux-gnu targets. #111 (@flavorjones)

Please read the README for details and caveats!

Improvements

• Predefined user and group list is more complete, and represents the union of users and groups across all RCD images.

Changes to build containers

• Replace rvm with rbenv and ruby-build in the build containers.
  • rvm has been replaced by rbenv and ruby-build
    • no longer applying sendfile patches to bootstrap rubies
    • no longer updating gems belonging to the bootstrap rubies
  • user rvm no longer exists, replaced by rubyuser

Users of the rake-compiler-dock gem should not be affected by this change. However, users of the raw containers may be affected if there are assumptions about rvm.
