    if it is necessary.

- Guess device-tree:
  + Fix typo in the variable name "modalias".

2.55.1

- Feature fsck:
  + Split fsck arguments. fsck.f2fs enters an infinite loop with the
    combination of arguments -py, but if separated into -p and -y, it
    works normally.

  + Replace gen_init_cpio by cpio.
  + Split output into levels.
  + Avoid copying files to temporary root.
  + Include `features/*/rules.mk` only once.

    period from the start of operation with higher precision (`348ms`,
    `3.45s`, `1.5m`, etc.).
  + Add bash-completion for some utilities.

- Feature system-glibc:
  + Do not remove the root password if it exists.

- Misc:

2.54.0

- Feature runtime:
  + Add boot option to preload kernel modules.

  + Use own utility to switch root.

- Feature runtime-compressed-fs:
  + This feature introduces support for building a compressed initramfs
    to significantly reduce memory usage during system boot.

- Guess device-tree:
  + This feature scans the device tree [1] for compatible nodes and
    determines which kernel modules are required for the current
    hardware.

- Guess loaded-modules:
  + Drop this guess feature. This feature was needed as a workaround to
    the problem of not being able to parse Device Tree (DT).

2.53.0

- Build System:
  + Add the ability to compile and work with musl system library.
  + Add gentoo to the list of supported distributions.
  + Enable Large-file support (LFS).
  + Disable some busybox features when compiling with musl.
  + Move runtime to features. From a packaging standpoint, the initrd
    core files are no different from the data in the features.

- Guess:
  + Add the ability to add optional modules.

- Guess loaded-modules:
  + Add more directories with kernel modules.
  + Consider modules as optional. Modules that feature adds may not be
    present in the new kernel.

- Feature modules-sbc:
  + Add clk, power/supply directories. Some single-board PCs use modules
    from these directories.

2.52.0

  + Handle special case of module loading from udev rules.
  + Handle the situation of calling insmod from the rules.
