RAKUOS CHANGELOG 2026.10.30

October 30, 2026 · Announcements

Period: 2026-10-28 → 2026-10-30

Commits: 19 across 10 repositories

These are all the commits that landed on main or staging in the RakuOS GitLab group (https://gitlab.com/rakuos) since the last changelog, grouped by component. Merge commits, generated "Initial commit"s and website commits are left out, and a change applied to both branches is listed once.

For what these changes mean for you, read the 2026.10.30 release notes. The highlights:

  • A new opt-in driver, ithc, for Intel touchscreens (Lakefield to Raptor Lake), packaged by RakuOS and listed on the Drivers page. It recommends iptsd from Terra.
  • Secure Boot: enroll-secureboot-key and the installer re-enroll the RakuOS key when the firmware's MOK list lost it.
  • Web apps run natively on Wayland and no longer crash on text input.
  • rum holds back only a waiting driver's own packages when its kernel build isn't out yet.
  • signed-kmods builds v4l2loopback from RPM Fusion's akmod and carries Recommends over to the kmod packages.
  • rakurpm repairs stale repodata checksums.
