The CentOS Project he said today the release of CentOS Linux 8.3, the third maintenance update to the latest CentOS Linux 8 operating system.

After six months of development, CentOS Linux 8.3 comes from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 source code, which means it has many improvements, new features, bug fixes and security updates.

Additionally, CentOS Linux 8.3 facilitates the migration from CentOS Linux to CentOS Stream by implementing some changes to Yum repo, such as renaming some Yum repo files to /etc/yum.repos.d and updating repoids.

CentOS developers recommend that you compare any changes you make to your local / etc files, including .repo files, with .rpmnew generated before attempting to update your CentOS Linux 8.3 installation

In addition, you will need to update the scripts you have to use –enablerepo = or –disablerepo = flags.

CentOS Linux 8.3 is available for download from the official website for 64-bit (x86_64), ARM64 (AArch64) and PowerPC (ppc64le) architectures.
