New release 2.50.0 is available.

# Important changes

- New features:
  + New feature to add block device modules.
  + New feature to add MD modules.
  + New UKI feature to create a Unified Kernel Image which can be booted
    directly from UEFI firmware.

- Feature kickstart:
  + Add alias /dev/root. This will allow to create images with a file
    system with an arbitrary uuid without running make-initrd.
  + Add increasing filesystems (ext4, xfs, f2fs) along with the
    partition change.
  + Rewrite block devices detection.
  + Fix work with busybox (use wrapper readlink-e).

- Feature add-modules:
  + Add workaround to add crc32 for f2fs.

- Feature fsck:
  + Add workaround for altlinux where fsck has non upstream compatible
    options.

- Misc:
  + make-initrd: Reorder arguments and make variables in the command line.
  + initrd-put: Extend the mechanism for ignoring elf_dlopen dependencies.
  + initrd-put: Ignore "archive" feature in libsystemd-shared.so by default.
  + Search kernel System.map in the /lib/modules/<kver>.
  + Search kernel config in the /lib/modules/<kver>.
