Released 11.03.2025

Changelogs

mender-binary-delta (1.5.2)

New changes in mender-binary-delta since 1.5.1:

Bug Fixes

• Fix segfault when configured with partitions that do not end with a number

  This was a hidden bug that surfaced now while fixing the support for PARTUUID and PARTLABEL. Or, in other words, when handling Mender configuration with partitions that do not end with a number. In this case pass_num is NULL and xasprintf will try to dereference it.

• Correctly apply deltas with PARTUUID and PARTLABEL configuration

  This fixes the bug where mender-binary-delta fails to apply the delta when partitions are configured with PARTUUID or PARTLABEL options.

  Fixes the issue by first resolving the device symlinks like /dev/disk/by-partuuid/*, /dev/disk/by-partlabel/*, and /dev/root to their actual device paths (e.g., /dev/sda2, /dev/mmcblk0p2) and then extracting the partition numbers.

Bug fixes

• Convert the boot partition numbers to int before comparison. (MEN-8043)

Released 03.21.2024

Changelogs

mender-binary-delta (1.5.0)

New changes in mender-binary-delta since 1.4.1:

Bug fixes

• Fix a few memory leaks.

Features

• Implement support for UBIFS. This requires either mender-flash or ubiupdatevol to be installed on the device. The FlashTool option decides which one to use. Currently the default is to not use either, but build systems may provide their own defaults. (MEN-6774)

mender-binary-delta (1.4.0)

Released 07.06.2022

Changelogs

mender-binary-delta (1.4.0)

New changes in mender-binary-delta since 1.3.1:

Bug fixes

• Delta Artifacts should now be significantly faster to apply, since the extra checksum check done by Mender has been removed, and only the checksum done by the xdelta3 algorithm is used. Therefore, there is no double read of the newly written partititon, which speeds up the installation significantly. (MEN-5607)

Other

• Additional arguments to xdelta3 with -D/--decoder-arguments (MEN-5193)
• style: Extra log for the decoder arguments.
• Passing all the arguments to the xdelta3 for decoder. (MEN-5491)

mender-binary-delta (1.2.0)

New changes in mender-binary-delta since 1.1.0:

• Improve error message when mender-artifact is not found. (MEN-4044)
• Mender-binary-delta and its Artifact generator now supports the new "Provides" fields for individial application software names. (MEN-3483, MEN-3484)
• The format of the Artifact checksum field has been changed in mender-artifact 3.5.0, from rootfs_image_checksum to rootfs-image.checksum, to conform to the namespaced "Provides" fields. Mender-binary-delta now supports this new field. This should not have any practical effect, but will cause meta data of delta Artifacts to look different. (MEN-3483, MEN-3484)
• Probe U-Boot env before use to support libubootenv fw tools (MEN-4246)
