v0.23.0 (till March 2026)

  • Shared libraries

    • leapp.libraries.common.config.version.SUPPORTED_VERSIONS - The SUPPORTED_VERSIONS dict has been deprecated as it is problematic with the new design. Use leapp.libraries.common.config.version.is_supported_version() or IPUConfig.supported_upgrade_paths instead.

    • leapp.libraries.common.config.version.is_rhel_alt() - The function can return only False nowadays as RHEL-ALT 7 is EOL for years and future version of leapp-repository will not support RHEL 7 anymore.

  • Models

    • InstalledUnsignedRPM - Replaced by the distribution agnostic ThirdPartyRPM.

v0.20.0 (till September 2024)

  • Models

  • Shared libraries

    • leapp.libraries.common.config.version.is_rhel_realtime() - The function has been deprecated as the information cannot be easily determined based on the information inside IPUConfig. Use data in the KernelInfo message instead, the field type.
