This is the first release with musl libc instead of uClibc and is not ABI c= ompatible with earlier versions, so special care needs to be taken when upgrading. See http://alpinelinux.or= g/edge-musl on how to upgrade. Since v2.7, among the various bugfixes, several packages have been upgraded: - kernel is based on 3.14.5 - lxc 1.0.3 - qemu 2.0.0 - asterisk 12.3.0 - openssh 6.6p1 - openjdk7 - varnish 4.0.0 and many more... Some of the desktop applications that got upgraded and are available for v3= .0: - xorg-server-1.15.1 - firefox 29.0.1 - gnumeric 1.12.8 - evince 3.12 - virt-manager 1.0.1 - claws-mail 3.10.0 - hexchat 2.9.6.1 - vlc 2.1.4 - inkscape 0.48.4 - gimp 2.8.10 A port for ARM has been created, but is still experimental and not included= in release builds. Various long standing bugs that have been difficult (or impossible) to fix = have been resolved. There are also better support for utf8, all timezones, full RELRO build. Since this is the first release with a brand new libc, it should be conside= red as beta quality. Most things will work good or better than previous releases but there are l= ikely cornercase bugs lurking. So be sure to test it before rolling out for production. We are al= so planning to shorten the support period for v3.0 to 1 year instead of the traditional 2 = year period. Some things that are known to not work yet are: - NFS - xen - freeswitch (does not build yet) Musl has limited support for debugging so valgrind does not work and gdb mi= ght have incomplete backtraces. The full lists of changes can be found in the git log[1] and bug tracker[2].
