IC-OS Verification

To build and verify the IC-OS disk image, run:

# From https://github.com/dfinity/ic#verifying-releases
sudo apt-get install -y curl && curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinity/ic/3d0b3f10417fc6708e8b5d844a0bac5e86f3e17d/gitlab-ci/tools/repro-check.sh && chmod +x repro-check.sh && ./repro-check.sh -c 3d0b3f10417fc6708e8b5d844a0bac5e86f3e17d

The two SHA256 sums printed above from a) the downloaded CDN image and b) the locally built image, must be identical, and must match the SHA256 from the payload of the NNS proposal.

Thanks for this release DFINITY.

Could I ask what sorts of changes that do modify GuestOS would be considered to not be relevant?

As a side note, I think there are a couple of commits included in this change log that don’t modify GuestOS, and shouldn’t have been included.

@maciejdfinity1 Could I ask for some more context regarding f6a88d1a5? This commit removes error handling for out of bounds function indices, capping instead at u32::MAX. The commit message explains that it’s doing this, but doesn’t provide any reasoning as to why. I’m not sure why it makes sense to permit invalid function indices to be specified.

Reviewers for the CodeGov project have completed our review of these replica updates. All reviewers voted to Adopt.

Proposal ID: 131473
Vote: ADOPT
Full report on OpenChat

At the time of this comment on the forum there are still 2 days left in the voting period, which means there is still plenty of time for others to review the proposal and vote independently.

We had several very good reviews of the Release Notes on these proposals by @Zane, @cyberowl, @ZackDS, @ilbert, @hpeebles, and @Lorimer. The IC-OS Verification was also performed by @tiago89. I recommend folks take a look and see the excellent work that was performed on these reviews by the entire CodeGov team. Feel free to comment here or in the thread of each respective proposal in our community on OpenChat if you have any questions or suggestions about these reviews.

anything that doesn’t modify the functionality but is somehow included in the dependency path. changes to governance canister for example.

I’ve noticed something was wrong after we generated already release notes last week. I did quite a lot of manual editing but didn’t go too aggressive. Should be fixed now:
