The Alpine Team announced on July 17th that Alpine Linux 2.4.5, a community-developed operating system designed for x86 Routers, Firewalls, VPNs, VoIP and servers, is available for download.

Alpine Linux 2.4.5 is just a bug fix release, which means there are only a few bugs that have been fixed and a handful of updated packages.

The most important fixes presented in this latest version of Alpine Linux are for MSS clamping in kernel for proper path MTU discovery, creating apkovl archives with large number of files, and for including empty dirs in apkovl archives.

Among other addressed problems, a few applications have been updated: apk-tools 2.3.2, squark 0.4.4, bacula 5.2.10, and squid 3.2.0.18.

The complete changelog for Alpine Linux 2.4.5 can be found here.
