6Migration notes for 4.3 (nanbield)
7------------------------------------
8
9This section provides migration information for moving to the Yocto
10Project 4.3 Release (codename "nanbield") from the prior release.
11
12.. _migration-4.3-supported-distributions:
13
14Supported distributions
15~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
16
17This release supports running BitBake on new GNU/Linux distributions:
18
19On the other hand, some earlier distributions are no longer supported:
20
21See :ref:`all supported distributions <system-requirements-supported-distros>`.
22
23.. _migration-4.3-go-changes:
24
25Go language changes
26~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
27
28- Support for the Glide package manager has been removed, as ``go mod``
29 has become the standard.
30
31.. _migration-4.3-recipe-changes:
32
33Recipe changes
34~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
35
36- Runtime testing of ptest now fails if no test results are returned by
37 any given ptest.
38
39.. _migration-4.3-removed-variables:
40
41Removed variables
42~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
43
44The following variables have been removed:
45
46.. _migration-4.3-removed-recipes:
47
48Removed recipes
49~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
50
51The following recipes have been removed in this release:
52
53- ``glide``, as explained in :ref:`migration-4.3-go-changes`.
54
55.. _migration-4.3-removed-classes:
56
57Removed classes
58~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
59
60The following classes have been removed in this release:
61
62
63.. _migration-4.3-misc-changes:
64
65Miscellaneous changes
66~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
67
68- The ``-crosssdk`` suffix and any :term:`MLPREFIX` were removed from
69 ``virtual/XXX`` provider/dependencies where a ``PREFIX`` was used as well,
70 as we don't need both and it made automated dependency rewriting
71 unnecessarily complex. In general this only affects internal toolchain
72 dependencies so isn't end user visible.
