  This section covers changes in the [application]*Anaconda* installer, including changes in the graphical and text mode interactive installers, Kickstart, and installer boot options.

+ === General changes

+ 

+ * `/boot` can now be placed on a BTRFS subvolume.

+ * It is no longer possible to attempt to add more than the maximum allowed number of boot-device NVRAMs on `ppc64le`.

+ * Anaconda now uses the DBus storage module instead of the local storage object.

+ This change has been in development for multiple releases, and is now complete.

+ * Anaconda add-ons now have full DBus support, allowing add-on developers to use their own DBus modules.

+ See the link:https://github.com/rhinstaller/hello-world-anaconda-addon[add-on example] for more information.

+ * The Anaconda development team has implemented their own DBus library, `python3-dasbus`.

+ The library is written in Python, based on GLib, and inspired by `pydbus`.

+ The repository, including documentation, is available at link:https://github.com/rhinstaller/dasbus[GitHub].

+ * Comps files can now set specific architectures on which packages can be installed.

+ * Packages can no longer be downloaded to RAM.

+ This option has been disabled because it could previously cause out-of-memory issues.

+ Packages can now only be downloaded to a hard drive, which also means the minimum storage requirements are slightly higher.

+ * The Network & Hostname screen no longer allows a trailing dot in a host name, which mirrors the behavior of the underlying `systemd-hostnamed` and the kernel.

+ Previously, attempting to set such a host name crashed the installer.

+ Note that the actual FQDN specification does technically allow for host names with a trailing dot, but the installer does not.

+ * Translations have been migrated to the Weblate platform. See the link:https://translate.fedoraproject.org/projects/anaconda/[project page] if you would like to contribute.

- === Other Anaconda Changes

+ * The `liveimg` command now avoids attempts to download an image twice, which could previously cause the installer to crash due to running out of memory.

+ * The `%packages` section now supports the `--ignorebroken` option.

+ Using this option, you can stop DNF from checking packages, groups, or modules with conflicting files.

+ The default behavior is to abort the installation with an error listing the conflicting files.
