Bundle downloads retry transient failures, AppArmor profiles are per-install, and node run drops the legacy --link-id flag.
Released on July 2, 2026
Breaking changes
- The legacy
--link-idflag has been removed fromnode run; remove it from any commands or scripts that still pass it.
Node downloads and runtime
- Transient HTTP failures when downloading node bundles are now retried automatically with bounded backoff, making node setup more resilient to flaky networks.
- Empty environment variable path overrides are now treated as unset, so an empty value falls back to the default instead of being used as a literal path.
AppArmor
- AppArmor profiles are now namespaced per Apptainer installation path, so multiple Apptainer installations no longer collide.
- The AppArmor fix script now shell-escapes the starter path correctly, so installation paths containing special characters work.
