This is + the change specific for Morph. There are changes to the morphologies + (in a different git repository) to actually build such systems. + +* `morph build` and `morph deploy` now allow `.morph` suffixes in + command line arguments. The suffixes are stripped internally, so + Morph behaves as if they suffix wasn't there in the first place. + +* The `morph build` command is now a new implementation. The old + implementation is still available as `morph old-build`, just in case + the new code is buggy, but will be removed in a future release. + (Baserock 12 had them swapped the other way around.) + +Bugs fixed: + +* When Morph reads git configuration files, it now correctly handles + whitespace at the end of configuration values. + +* `morph deploy` no longer creates a useless temporary build branch. + The branch wasn't useful for determining the system artifact needed, + so it was merely wasteful. + +* `morph deploy` now allows cross-architecture deployments, and + and `morph cross-bootstrap` checks that the system is being built + supports the target architecture. + +Other user-visible changes: + +* When preparing to build (when construcing the build graph), Morph + now reports the ref (SHA1) it uses for each stratum. + +* Systems being built must now have at least one stratum, and the + strata in a system must have at least one chunk that is built using + the normal (staging area) mode, rather than bootstrap mode.
