The main new and somewhat experimental feature in this release of subiquity is support for installing to Intel VROC volumes. This feature has not been extensively tested yet, so reports of both success and failure would be appreciated!

Other features in this release:

  • Allow a mount action supplied via autoinstall config to not have a device (LP: #1933711)
  • Partitions encrypted with Bitlocker will be no longer be described as "unused", and will instead be labeled as "already formatted as BitLocker" in the UI. Other filesystems that are recognizable to blkid should also appear with a similar description.
  • Timezone support has been added for use in the desktop installer. It cannot be set from the subiquity UI at this time, but it can be set in an autoinstall file (using simple syntax e.g. timezone: Pacific/Guam or timezone: geoip to use Ubuntu's geoip service)
  • Fix validation of NVMe namespaces for some drives (LP: #1925399)
  • Make tearing down some temporary mounts during the install more robust (LP: #1928839, LP: #1934775)
  • Format the specification of the root device zipl.conf file on s390x in the same was as it is specified in fstab and grub config.
  • Fix installing to an encrypted LVM that has a PV on an encrypted multipath disk (LP: #1895192)
