The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of the installer for Debian 10 "Buster".


Improvements in this release
============================

 * choose-mirror:
    - Update Mirrors.masterlist.
 * cryptsetup:
    - New section “Unlocking LUKS devices from GRUB” pointing to:
      https://cryptsetup-team.pages.debian.net/cryptsetup/encrypted-boot.html
 * debian-archive-keyring:
    - Add Buster keys (#917535, #917536).
 * debian-cd:
    - Create images to fit on 16G USB sticks too (for amd64 and i386).
    - Tweak package selection to make the multi-arch firmware netinst
      fit on CD media again (needs a 700MB CD-R): Don't include 686
      PAE kernels on these CDs.
    - Tweak ordering of snapshot URLs in jigdo images to remove load
      on snapshot.debian.org.
 * debian-installer:
    - Add haveged-udeb [linux] to avoid entropy starvation issues
      (#923675). Those could affect HTTPS connections, SSH keypair
      generation, etc.
    - Bump Linux kernel ABI from 4.19.0-4 to 4.19.0-5.
    - Add œ/Œ glyphs for the French translation.
    - Update size limits.
    - Relabel “Dark theme” into “Accessible high contrast” (#930569).
    - Compress armhf u-boot images with “gzip -n” to avoid embedding
      timestamps which cause reproducibility issues.
 * espeakup:
    - Wait longer for sound cards.
 * grub2:
    - Make grub-efi-*-bin recommend efibootmgr, for debugging purposes.
    - Make grub-efi work on armhf too (upstream fixes for alignment
      bugs).
 * installation-guide:
    - Add the partman-auto-lvm/guided_size setting to the example
      preseed config file (#930846).
 * libdebian-installer:
    - Enlarge maximum line length in Packages and Sources files
      (#554444).
 * lowmem:
    - Update size limits.
 * network-console:
    - Fix gen-crypt segfault, which prevented remote installations due
      to a missing password for the “installer” user (#926947, #928299).
 * openssl:
    - Ship an openssl.cnf in libssl1.1-udeb, fixing wget's TLS issues
      in the installer (#926315).
 * partman-auto:
    - Tweak Arabic translation to avoid a hang at the hard disk step
      (#929877).
 * preseed:
    - Update auto-install/defaultroot, replacing stretch with buster
      (#928031).
 * rootskel:
    - Start haveged when appropriate, to avoid entropy starvation
      (#923675). This means when the haveged binary is available, and
      when there's no hardware RNG available.
    - Update size limits for the graphical installer.


UEFI Secure Boot updates
========================

Debian's Secure Boot setup is still being polished, the main updates
are summarized below.

 * debian-installer:
    - Add shim-signed and grub-efi-ARCH-signed to build-dependencies
      for amd64/i386/arm64.
    - Use the signed shim and grub packages for all 3 arches for EFI
      images.
    - Fix the netboot setup for signed grub images to match the
      previous setup and the existing documentation (#928750).
 * grub2:
    - Generate a specific signed netboot image for d-i to use (#928750).
    - Add cpuid, play, ntfs modules to signed UEFI images (#928628,
      #930290, #923855).
    - Deal with --force-extra-removable with signed shim too (#930531).


Hardware support changes
========================

 * debian-installer:
    - [arm64] Add support for netboot SD-card-images.
    - [arm64] Add u-boot images for a64-olinuxino, orangepi_zero_plus2
      and teres_i.
