# Important changes

- Build System:
  + Hide losetup from busybox. This allows other implementations of
    losetup to be used.
  + Allow to pack filename with spaces.
  + Replace gen_init_cpio by cpio.
  + Split output into levels.
  + Avoid copying files to temporary root.
  + Include `features/*/rules.mk` only once.
  + Change timestamp format. Instead of `[HH:MM:SS]`, specify the time
    period from the start of operation with higher precision (`348ms`,
    `3.45s`, `1.5m`, etc.).
  + Add bash-completion for some utilities.

- Feature system-glibc:
  + Do not remove the root password if it exists.

- Misc:
  + make-initrd: Add option to build initramfs for latest kernel.
  + depinfo: Rewrite firmware processing.
  + depinfo: Add option to show missing firmware.
  + depinfo: Add more archive suffixes.
  + depinfo: Treat the firmware field as a pattern.
  + depinfo: Handle an alternative firmware path.
  + depinfo: Add information about missing firmware.
