The following deprecations are introduced or announced.
Installation from Tarball Release Packages
Installing Onload from tarball release packages is deprecated in general in favor of OS-specific release mechanisms, source RPMs, and Debian source packages.
Support for Onload on new major versions of Operating Systems (for example Ubuntu 26.04) does not include installation from tarball release packages.
Programmatic Interface Planned to Configure SHRUB
A programmatic interface is planned for ef_vi applications to configure SHRUB without using Onload-style EF_*
environment variables for this purpose. When this programmatic interface is
available it should be used by all ef_vi and
TCPDirect™
applications instead of present
arrangements.
Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
Future OpenOnload releases will not support RHEL 8.
