+## [Release 5.7](https://rpm-software-management.github.io/mock/Release-Notes-5.7) - 2024-09-26
+
+### New features and important changes
+
+- Support for [hermetic builds](feature-hermetic-builds) has [been][PR#1393]
+  [implemented][PR#1449].  This update introduces two new command-line options:
+  `--calculate-build-deps` and `--hermetic-build`, along with the new
+  `mock-hermetic-repo(1)` utility.
+
+  Additionally, this change introduces a new [`buildroot_lock`
+  plugin](Plugin-BuildrootLock), which generates a new artifact in the buildroot—a
+  buildroot *lockfile*.  Users can enable this plugin explicitly by setting
+  `config_opts["plugin_conf"]["buildroot_lock_enable"] = True`.
+
+- This version addresses [issue#521][], which requested a cleanup option for
+  all chroots.  A [new][PR#1337] option, `--scrub-all-chroots`, has been
+  added.  It can detect leftovers in `/var/lib/mock` or `/var/cache/mock`
+  and make multiple `mock --scrub=all` calls accordingly.
+
+- Alias `dnf4` added for the `package_manager = dnf`.
+
+  The options specific to DNF4, previously prefixed with `dnf_*`, have been
+  renamed to `dnf4_*` too to avoid confusion with `dnf5_*` options.  For backward
+  compatibility, the `dnf_*` prefixed variants still work, so these config pairs
+  are equivalent:
+
+  ```python
+  config_opts['dnf4_install_cmd'] = 'install python3-dnf python3-dnf-plugins-core'
+  config_opts['dnf_install_cmd'] = 'install python3-dnf python3-dnf-plugins-core'
+
+  config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf4'
+  config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf'
+  ```
+
+  Some of the `dnf_*` options remain unchanged because they are universal and used
+  with DNF4, DNF5, or YUM, e.g., `dnf_vars`.
+
+  While working on this rename, the rarely used `system_<PM>_command` options have
+  been changed to `<PM>_system_command` to visually align with the rest of the
+  package-manager-specific options. The old variants are still accepted.
+
+- The `--addrepo` option has been updated to affect both the bootstrap chroot
+  installation and the buildroot installation, as requested in [issue#1414][].
+  However, be cautious, as Mock [aggressively caches the bootstrap][issue#1289].
+  Always remember to run `mock -r <chroot> --scrub=bootstrap` first.
+  Additionally, as more chroots are being switched to `bootstrap_image_ready =
+  True`, you'll likely need to use `--addrepo` **in combination with**
+  `--no-bootstrap-image`; otherwise, the bootstrap chroot installation will remain
+  unaffected.
+
+- There's a new `config_opts['bootstrap_image_skip_pull']` option that allows you
+  to skip image pulling (running the `podman pull` command by Mock) when preparing
+  the bootstrap chroot.  This is useful if `podman pull` is failing, for example,
+  when the registry is temporarily or permanently unavailable, but the local image
+  exists, or if the image reference is pointing at a local-only image.
+
+- There's a new [ccache](Plugin-CCache) plugin option
+  `config_opts['plugin_conf']['ccache_opts']['show_stats']`; if set to `True`,
+  Mock prints the ccache statistics (hits/misses) to logs.
+
+- A new option `debug` has been [added][PR#1408] to the ccache plugin. Setting
+  it to `True` creates per-object debug files that are helpful when debugging
+  unexpected cache misses, see [ccache docs][ccache-docs-debug].
+
+- A new option `hashdir` has been [added][PR#1399] to the ccache plugin. Setting
+  it to `False` excludes the build working directory from the hash used to
+  distinguish two compilations when generating debuginfo. While this allows the
+  compiler cache to be shared across different package NEVRs, it might cause the
+  debuginfo to be incorrect.
+  The option can be used for issue bisecting if running the debugger is
+  unnecessary ([issue#1395][]).
+
+- New Mock RPM package provides the systemd-sysusers drop-in configuration file
+  for automatic `mock 135` group ID allocation.  See [rpm docs][] for more info.
+
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+- The `installed_pkgs.log` — generated by the `package_state` plugin — was
+  [previously generated too early][issue#1429], after the static build
+  requirements were installed but **before** the dynamic build requirements were
+  resolved and installed. This led to incorrect chroot introspection for the end
+  user, as the reported set of packages needed to build the given package was
+  incomplete.  The new Mock version generates the `installed_pkgs.log` file after
+  the dynamic build requirements are installed.
+
+
+- De-duplicating bootstrap mount points for local repositories used with `--chain`
+  or `--localrepo=file:///repo/on/host`.  Caused eventual problems during
+  `--scrub=bootstrap`.  This bug existed in Mock <= 5.6, but after fixing the
+  [issue#1414][], it got exposed by our test suite.  Related issues include
+  [issue#357][] ([commit#a0a2cba3][]) and [issue#381][] ([commit#16462acc][]).
+
+- Previously, mock.rpm created file in `/usr/share/doc/mock` directory but did
+  did own this directory.
+
+- The fuse-overlayfs package is not installed in the Fedora container images
+  by default. We need to explicitly install it, otherwise running Mock inside of
+  a container won't work.
+
+- Previously, the `nspawn_args` configuration value was not applied in multiple
+  internal `doChroot()` calls.  This could cause issues when custom nspawn
+  arguments were needed everywhere (see [PR#1410][]).  Now, `doChroot()`
+  automatically applies `nspawn_args`, shifting the responsibility from callers to
+  callee.
+
+- Several internal code locations attempt to ensure that the result directory
+  exists, creating it if necessary.  However, these locations handled it
+  inconsistently, sometimes neglecting to [change the ownership][issue#1467] of
+  the result directory.  Now, all locations use a single method dedicated to
+  result directory preparation.
+
+
+### Mock Core Configs changes
+
+- The GPG key locations for the CentOS Stream 10 Appstream debuginfo
+  and Extras Common repositories were updated to point to the correct
+  GPG keys.
+
+- Anolis-7 has been EOLed at 2024-06-30. We moved the configs to `eol` directory.
+
+- The CentOS Stream 10 configuration has been updated to use
+  `quay.io/centos/centos:stream10-development` as its bootstrap image.  Since
+  this image [already has the `python3-dnf-plugins-core` package
+  installed](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CS-2506), the configuration is also
+  updated to set `bootstrap_image_ready = True`.  This means the image can be
+  used "as is" to bootstrap the DNF stack without installing any additional
+  packages into the prepared bootstrap chroot, significantly speeding up
+  bootstrap preparation.
+
+- The centos-stream-9 (and transitively centos-stream+epel-9) configuration has
+  been fixed to rely on "bootstrap image" readiness for Mock builds, see
+  [issue#1442][].
+
+- OpenSuse Leap 15.4 EOLed at 07 Dec 2023 so we moved the configs to `eol` directory.
+
+- We [updated the configuration][PR#1195] files for chroots that still use older
+  RPM versions (v4.18 and earlier), which affects RHEL/CentOS 9 and older.  These
+  older RPM versions were built with an incorrect default for the `%_host_cpu`
+  macro in `ppc64le` chroots, where the macro incorrectly resolved to
+  `powerpc64le` instead of `ppc64le`.
+
+  This incorrect value caused issues during architecture validation, such as when
+  checking `ExclusiveArch: ppc64le` for `BuildArch: noarch` packages (done
+  in-chroot by `/bin/rpmbuild`).
+
+  The incorrect macro value has now been overridden in the relevant `ppc64le`
+  configuration files in Mock, ensuring that `ExcludeArch` and `ExclusiveArch`
+  validations resolve correctly.
