AerynOS Unstable Stream Update: 23rd July 2026

Changes

Toolchain updates

This set of unstable stream updates saw Reilly land a fair few larger stack updates, including point updates for LLVM 20, 21, and 22, plus OpenJDK 17, 21, and 25, and Rust 1.97.1.

Kernel updates

Kernel 7.1.4 was landed, and kernel 7.1.5 is in the works. We will land 7.1.5 as a follow-up update in the coming days, after it has had some time to percolate with our NVIDIA driver testers.

Larger than usual amount of fixes

Thanks to our growing community, users have reported and helped us fix a number of small niggles in both our tooling and our user-facing applications.

Infra changes

Ermo and tarkah made our first automated deployment of our infra from declarative config files, which will make testing of new features in moss, boulder and infra much nicer going forward.
