Apologies for the late announcement of this release, which was made on
28th March.
This release fixed 1 bug:
- The change in v0.146 to subdirectory names created by unmkinitramfs
broke several tests, and has been effectively reverted.
It added several features:
- When MODULES=dep, any loaded reset drivers are included.
- When MODULES=most, squashfs is included.
- mkinitramfs and update-initramfs support a --version option.
- The kernel postinst hook does nothing if the update-initramfs command
is not the initramfs-tools implementation.
- update-initramfs and the postinst script avoid updating an initramfs
via the triggger if it has already been updated since the trigger was
activated.
Other changes:
- /dev/pts is now mounted with mode=0600 instead of 0620, matching
systemd's default.
- When MODULES=most, the selection of block drivers to include now
matches dracut.
- The autopkgtests include an iSCSI test case.
The shortlog is below.
Ben.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
