What's new?

A summary of changes that took place: - glaucus is not affected by the backdoor found in XZ Utils, as it targeted sshd binaries linked against libsystemd and glibc - The glaucus ISO has been improved with a dedicated initramfs to support OverlayFS and EROFS using toybox and mdevd - nsss is now the default NSS implementation - slibtool is now the default libtool implementation - utmps is now the default utmpx implementation (w and last are now working securely on musl) - The bootstrap process has been further optimized resulting in a reduction in the number of packages being used - Arch Linux kernel and modules are being used for this release (CachyOS kernel will be considered for future releases) - Updated cerata
