A brief guide to backward-incompatible changes
that are likely to break configurations or workflows
2023-12-10
* configurations (usually) need no longer import modules from
modules/outputs because devices are expected to do this instead. This
change is because the outputs that make sense in any given context are
usually a property of the device being installed onto.
2023-12-11
* rename outputs.flashimage to outputs.mtdimage (and also diskimage to
mbrimage). This change is made in the expectation that "fooimage" is
the name of an outputs that gloms together other filesystem-like
outputs with some kind of partition table - so we might in future have
gptimage or lvmimage or ubimage.
