# 2024-12-10

Released from Testing to Stable:

Update AlmaLinux leapp upgrade repository files to use $releasever instead of major OS version (e.g., 8 or 9).
Add CentOS 7 ELS repos support for upgrades to Oracle Linux 8.
Add KernelCare vendor support for EL8 to EL9 upgrades.
Add support for architectures other than x86_64 by updating map files. Users can follow the standard Quickstart guide without any additional steps for these architectures.
Avoid creating symbolic links such as /etc/leapp/repos.d/system_upgrade;67377d17 and prevent conflicts between leapp-upgrade-* and leapp-data-* packages in the /etc/leapp/repos.d/system_upgrade path when upgrading CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux OS 9. These issues occur if leapp-data-* packages remain installed after upgrading from CentOS 7 to EL8. Therefore, we strongly recommend removing all ELevate-related EL7 packages before proceeding with the upgrade to EL9.

Released from Testing to Stable:

Extend upgrade path with the ability to elevate to AlmaLinux OS 8 versions 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, and AlmaLinux OS 9 versions 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 versions with --target option set.
Remove the 9.5 target version from the upgrade path for all supported operating systems until this version is released.

Released from Testing to Stable:

Fixed leapp actions that were causing packages removal and as so the upgrade process to fail:
- For configurations with Imunify360 repository enabled, a replace leapp action will be taken for the libunwind package.
- For configurations with EPEL repository enabled, a move leapp action will be taken for the GeoIP package.
- For other configurations, these packages will be removed during the upgrade process.
Added CloudLinux Imunify360 alt-php 3rd party repository support for EL7 to EL8 upgrades for all supported systems.
- Before the upgrade, you must replace the <imunify360_alt-php_token> string in the /etc/yum.repos.d/imunify360-alt-php.repo config with the token from the /etc/leapp/files/vendors.d/imunify360-alt-php.repo.
Unnecessery openssl-libs package split was removed for EL8 to EL9 upgrades for all supported systems.

Added Microsoft Linux Package Repositories support for all supported operating systems.
Added Docker CE support for all supported operating systems.
