This morning we released an intermediate update for AArch64/ARM64 which
contains a number of fixes and improvements:

Improvements
============
1. Improved support for APM based hardware, to include network
installation support for X-Gene 2 / Merlin Boards.

2. Initial support for NXP's LS2080 SoC.

3. Packaging fixes for noarch rpms, which resolves a few build system
issues.

4. The cloud-init, and cloud-utils packages are now provided in the
Extras repository.


Upgrading
=========
Simply 'yum update' as normal. A reboot will be required to take
advantage of the new kernel.

Known Issues
============
1. The centos-release package has been updated. If you are using a
custom yum repository rather than the defaults, please ensure that you
update your configuration with the additional gpg key information
included in the new package.

2. In nearly all cases the noarch packaging change is transparent,
however if you experience a conflict between two noarch packages, this
can be resolved by running the 'yum distro-sync'.
