# [Yocto zeus support released | Mender](https://mender.io/blog/yocto-zeus-support-released)

The long awaited release of the [meta-mender](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender) zeus branch has been released, which supports the [Yocto Project](https://www.yoctoproject.org/) zeus (3.0) branch.

The release comes with a lot of bug fixes and other changes since the warrior branch. Some of the notable changes are:

- The Mender client component has been renamed from `mender` to `mender-client`. This applies both to the recipe name, and to the service names used together with `systemctl`. `mender-migrate-configuration` was also renamed to `mender-client-migrate-configuration`. The executable is still called `mender`, however.
- [LSB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base) support has been removed in the Yocto Project zeus branch. Mender has a weak dependency on LSB, and now ships with its own minimal `lsb-ld` package. Most people will not be affected by this change, but if you see error messages related to `/lib64`, check out the part about `lsb-ld` in the [full changelog](https://docs.mender.io/2.4/release-information/release-notes-changelog#meta-mender-zeus-v202006-1) for a possible remedy.
- For boards that are using `MENDER_UBOOT_AUTO_CONFIGURE=0`, the meta-mender layer no longer auto-configures certain variables, such as `CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET`. If you see error messages related to this, look up that variable name in the [full changelog](https://docs.mender.io/2.4/release-information/release-notes-changelog#meta-mender-zeus-v202006-1) to see how to handle this.

For the full set of fixes, additions and other changes, see the [full changelog](https://docs.mender.io/2.4/release-information/release-notes-changelog#meta-mender-zeus-v202006-1).

To use the branch, make sure that you use it with the Yocto Project zeus branch, and with zeus-compatible branches from other meta layers. Either check out the latest bleeding edge branch using:

```
git fetch origin
git checkout -t origin/zeus
```

Or if you want to use the stable tag, run:

```
git fetch origin
git checkout zeus-v2020.06
```

Happy building!
