v0.12.0

This is a major update to nerves_runtime that removes SystemRegistry. SystemRegistry has been disabled by default for years, but it could be re-enabled if device insertion and removal events were needed. That functionality has been moved to nerves_uevent and updated to use the property_table library used by VintageNet.

Elixir 1.11 is the minimum supported Elixir version now.

To upgrade from prior versions of nerves_runtime:

1. If you're using :system_registry at all, please review the :nerves_uevent documentation for new library.
2. Remove config :nerves_runtime, :kernel, use_system_registry: false from your target.exs. It's not used any more.
3. If you had config :nerves_runtime, :kernel, autoload_modules: false in your target.exs, change it to config :nerves_uevent, autoload_modules: false.

• Bug fixes

  • Run reboot and poweroff sequences in their own Erlang process. This fixes a bug were the process that calls reboot gets killed partway through the reboot process and the system doesn't actually reboot.

• Changes

  • Kernel logging and syslog monitoring has been moved to nerves_logging. The
    functionality is the same as before, but it's now possible to use without nerves_runtime.
  • Added convenience routines for getting status from nerves_heart.
