Release notes
This version brings more bug fixes plus a couple of important features before 0.2.
Now you can run rootstock as user, by giving the argument --no-root. Running as user will require to run debootstrap's second phase and first boot entirely in a VM, so things can be slower than running as root.
When running rootstock in a x86* machine, the normal path now goes with chroot and qemu-arm-static as running the first boot in a VM is quite unstable.
Another interesting feature is the ability to run rootstock in a native ARM environment. This is probably the best way to generate big images, as we avoid all the issues with Qemu.
There will be probably one or two releases before 0.2, fixing more bugs and improving rootstock-gtk, as it's currently not working with these new features.
Also, remember to look at https:/
Finally, a special thanks for all the people who reported the bugs and Robert Nelson, who is actively using and improving rootstock.
