v1.16.3

• Package updates

  • Erlang/OTP 24.0.4

• Improvements

  • Adds a default /etc/sysctl.conf file to support setting kernel parameters
    on initialization. This requires a nerves_runtime v0.11.5 or later. The
    current default only enables non-root use of ICMP. This simplifies use of
    ICMP in Erlang and Elixir.

• Bug fixes

  • Fixes an issue on MacOS where if you had /home in your $PATH, mix firmware could go from taking 10 seconds to many minutes to run due to the
    merge-squashfs script. Thanks to Jonathan Palley for some serious
    detective work to narrow this issue down.
  • Fixes an issue on MacOS with exclusing files from the scrubber.
