Hi!

I have tagged the third release candidate for alpine 3.13.0.

This includes some significant improvements and code cleanups in the
setup scripts:
- you can now enter '!' on any question to spawn a shell
- the wifi setup experience should be improved
- disk install on rpi is now supported

I'd appreciate if you tested the setup scripts and tried to pay
attention to bugs.

Please open issues on gitlab[1] if you find bugs, or respond to this
email for success.

I will hopefully tag 3.13.0 next week unless something serious shows up.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ve tried to boot fresh Alpine 3.13 on OpenNebula (QEMU) and VMware (proprietary crap), and upgrade 3.12.3 to 3.13.0_rc3. I didn’t notice any problem. However, I don’t use official ISO images nor setup scripts, I have my own created using [1].
