The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the third release candidate of the installer for Debian 12 "Bookworm". Improvements in this release ============================ * finish-install: - Adjust APT cache cleaning to avoid breaking bash completion (#1034650). * grub-installer: - Detect EFI boot variables with hexadecimal digits, not only decimal digits. * hw-detect: - Restore support for firmware license prompts (#1033921). * linux: - Build against updated dwarves, reducing its size and memory footprint (#1033301). * partman-base: - Add support for input submitted using power-of-two units: kiB, MiB, GiB, etc. (#913431). Note that sizes are still output using power-of-ten units: kB, MB, GB, etc. - Add support for bigger prefixes: petabyte (PB), pebibyte (PiB), exabyte (EB), and exbibyte (EiB). - With many thanks to Vincent Danjean! * preseed: - Make sure netcfg considers DHCP-provided hostnames, only using the hostname parameter on the kernel command line as a fallback (#1035349). Hardware support changes ======================== * debian-installer: - Ship dedicated DRM modules for bochs and cirrus to avoid broken graphics under UEFI/Secure Boot (#1036019). * linux: - Work around black screen on ppc64el (#1033058). * xorg-server: - Ship modesetting_drv.so in the udeb again, fixing graphical installer support on UTM (#1035014).
