#### Bug fixes:

- Fix non-conforming GPT partition table ([flatcar/Flatcar#1651](https://github.com/flatcar/Flatcar/issues/1651))
- Fix update-ca-certificates behavior when concatenating certificates with missing trailing newlines. ([flatcar/scripts#2667](https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2667))
- Fixed PXE boot failures that arose since upgrading to systemd v256. Users were dumped to an emergency shell. ([flatcar/bootengine#103](https://github.com/flatcar/bootengine/pull/103))
- The kernel module build directory now contains native binaries in arm64 images instead of the previous amd64 binaries ([scripts#2694](https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2694))
- Nvidia driver installer service now supports the 570 driver branch by forcing the use of the proprietary kernel module. The 570 branch defaults to the kernel-open driver which requires loading firmware, which is not yet supported on Flatcar. ([scripts#2694](https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2694))
- azure: Fixed issue of wa-linux-agent overriding ssh public key from ignition configuration during provisioning ([flatcar/Flatcar#1661](https://github.com/flatcar/Flatcar/issues/1661))

#### Changes:

- Add changes for our secureboot signed images with our signed release process until the official shim signing ([scripts#2754](https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2754/))
- Added support for ARM64 architecture in the NVIDIA driver installer service ([scripts#2694](https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2694))
- Added new image signing pub key to `flatcar-install`, needed for download verification of releases built from March 2025 onwards, if you have copies of `flatcar-install` or the image signing pub key, you need to update them as well ([init#129](https://github.com/flatcar/init/pull/129))
- Build Intel iGPU i915 driver as module ([scripts#2349](https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/pull/2349))
- Enabled EROFS module with XATTR support ([Flatcar#1659](https://github.com/flatcar/Flatcar/issues/1659))
