--- title: 'Alpine 3.6.0 released' date: 2017-05-24 --- Alpine Linux 3.6.0 Released =========================== We are pleased to announce the release of Alpine Linux 3.6.0, the first in the v3.6 stable series. New features and noteworthy new packages ---------------------------------------- * Support for 64-bit little-endian POWER machines (ppc64le) * Support for 64-bit IBM z Systems (s390x) * [Rust][1] 1.17.0 and [Cargo][2] 0.18.0 * [GHC][3] 8.0.2 * [Julia][4] 0.5.2 Significant updates ------------------- * GCC 6.3 * LLVM 4.0 * PHP 7.1 * Go 1.8 * Python 3.6 * LuaJIT 2.1beta3 * nginx 1.12 * Ruby 2.4 Noteworthy changes ------------------ * The `llvm` package has been changed to be provided by a versioned `llvm` package, which is presently `llvm4`; * The `-grsec` kernel-related packages have been renamed to `-hardened`; Development-related changes --------------------------- * MD5 and SHA-1 hashes have been removed from APKBUILDs, being obsoleted by SHA-512; * `set -e` is now implied in APKBUILDs, automatically failing the build upon unhandled failing commands; * A `check()` function has been added to APKBUILDs that allows packages to run test suites after `build()`, ensuring no regressions have occurred. This has been implemented for a number of packages, and policy onward will be to have them either be present or explicitly opted-out of with good reasoning; Credits ------- - Thanks to everyone sending in patches, bug reports, new and updated aports - Thanks to [GIGABYTE][5], [Scaleway][6], [Fastly][7], [IBM][8], [Packet][9], and [vpsFree][10] for providing us with hardware and hosting.
