New features

There are two major new APIs around configuring mutability and persistence of the root filesystem.

First, OSTree gained support for a new root.transient flag that makes / an overlayfs that is persistent across reboots but not across upgrades. This makes the system behave a bit more similarly to e.g. Docker and following tools such as podman and Kubernetes.

There is a different approach in the (still classified as experimental) [email protected] unit:

This approach instead allows operating systems or downstream builders to choose to apply persistent merge semantics to specific targeted directories (e.g. /opt).
