One of main features of Atomic Host is the ability to roll back bad updates. This includes bad kernel updates. Since Fedora Atomic Host follows Linux kernel releases fairly closely, we’ve seen a few of these, such as the one which took out my Minnowboard test cluster on August 20.

A couple of notes about this release:
- This release does not include fixes for the dnsmasq security vulnerabilities. Please help us test out the patched rpms by rebasing to our testing tree:
rpm-ostree rebase fedora/26/x86_64/testing/atomic-host
- During testing for this release we found an isolated hardware issue. This mostly affects the minnowboard hardware platform.
