Nov 1, 2025Month 2025-11 — Open-edge-platform/edge-microvisor-toolkit: Implemented Installer Device Filtering Enhancements to ensure consistent, safe selection of installation targets across both graphical and terminal installers. Key changes extend ISO9660/VFAT detection via blkid in the Calamares graphical installer and enhance read-only media detection in diskutils.go (/proc/mounts) to cover iso9660 and FAT (vfat/fat32), including Rufus-created USB drives. These changes prevent FAT-based bootable USB media from appearing as valid installation destinations, reducing user errors and installation failures.

Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 summary focusing on safety and reliability improvements for EMT ISO Installer in edge-microvisor-toolkit. Delivered a key feature that prevents accidental selection of boot/ISO devices by incrementally building the device list and applying isReadOnlyISO checks. This reduces installation errors and data risk during deployments. No major bugs fixed this month; primary value comes from robustness and risk reduction. Technologies demonstrated include Go refactoring in diskutils.go and safety guards around device enumeration, reflecting strong code quality and reliability gains.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for open-edge-platform/edge-microvisor-toolkit: delivered a critical fix to the Calamares installer disk configuration loading flow, plus enhanced logging to aid troubleshooting. The fix ensures attended_config.json is correctly loaded, final system configuration (BootType) is applied, and boot partition selection is logged for easier diagnosis. This improves installer reliability on graphical EFI boot order setups.
