mion dunfell-2021.06 "Dernish"

The Network Grade Linux project is very proud to present the fourth release of mion, code-named "Dernish". Notable features include support for the Barefoot SDE version 9.4.0, initial support for the Stratum and Dent projects, package management and feeds as well as a new container strategy using containerd.

• Barefoot SDE version 9.4.0
• Initial support for Stratum
• Initial support for the Dent project (on TN-48M)
• Lots of documentation and wiki improvements
• ptest image type for package tests and a defined test plan
• Defined update strategy, initial package management work and package feeds
• Reworking of container setup using containerd (and removal of srunc)
• k3s backported to dunfell in meta-mion-backports
• Numerous bug fixes and minor improvements
