What’s new?

glaucus now runs on real hardware!
This is a stage 3 release (native compilation after cross compilation; previous releases were at stage 2 which meant they were cross-compiled only)!
limine is now the default boot loader and manager!
neatvi is now the default text editor!
reflex is now the default lex implementation!
faillog, last, lastb, lastlog and w are now all running securely under musl libc thanks to utmps!
DT_RELR support was enabled, and has resulted in further size reduction!
rad (glaucus package manager) has been improved with more functionality being fleshed out.
The bootstrap process has been further optimized resulting in a reduction in the number of packages being used.
CachyOS kernel and modules are being used for this release!
