See the `morph + add-binary` and `morph push` commands. + +Many additional changes are described in the Git log. + +Version 13, released 2014-01-10 +------------------------------- + +New features added: + +* New CPU architecture: ppc64 architecture (POWER PC 64-bit). 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. + Likewise, `morph deploy` has a new implementation, but no + `old-deploy`. Both new implementations should work exactly as the + old ones, except for bugs. + +Bugs fixed: + +* When Morph reads git configuration files, it now correctly handles + whitespace at the end of configuration values. + +* `morph deploy` no longer creates and pushes a temporary build + branch. Pushing it wasn't useful, 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. + +Version 12, released 2013-11-15 +------------------------------- + +* NEWS file added. |
