We are pleased to announce the general availability of Rocky Linux 9.4.
The release is currently available for the x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and
s390x architectures.
Please review the release notes at
https://docs.rockylinux.org/release_notes/9_4/ - These notes contain
important information including known bugs and details about changes in
this version.
Notable changes:
* Since Rocky Linux 9.3, Azure images are be published under the new
publisher name: resf, moving away from the earlier, less intuitive name.
* In addition to the Azure Marketplace, Rocky Linux is available for
free on the Azure Community Gallery, providing incredibly easy access to
run Rocky on Microsoft Azure.
Special Interest Group notes:
* AWS images should now be able to boot in IPv6-only subnets, closing a
longstanding bug that the Cloud SIG has worked with upstream to resolve
* Most images are now built with KIWI and our empanadas toolkit, with
the exception of a few variants that are still using the old
imagefactory method. If you have any trouble, please get in touch. More
information is available in the full release notes.
