This kernel also has major updates for t= he Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities that remove previously existent perfo= rmance penalties in some use-cases. The kernel's modules are now compressed with the XZ algorithm which will save= some space on disk as the kernel is one of the largest components of IPFire. Misc. * openssl has been updated to 1.1.0j and 1.0.2q which fixes some minor securi= ty issues and has various bug fixes * The bind package has now changed to ship shared libraries which it did not = before.
