			You must <code>apk del python</code> and add `python3` or `python2` for the upgrade to work correctly, as a stale `python` in /etc/apk/world will prevent things from upgrading correctly.

	We previously used the "release" or "debugoptimized" buildmode for Meson or "Release" or "RelWithDebInfo" for CMake. This caused Meson and CMake to ignore parts of our C{,XX}FLAGS, e.g. by setting -O2 or even -O3 instead of our default of -Os. We've changed to the "plain" buildtype and the "None" buildtype for CMake. This should result in smaller binaries since -Os is respected now. See [https://lists.alpinelinux.org/~alpine/devel/%3C2896c13070c508a49cbaa72c8fb7f34ea947358b.camel%40cogitri.dev%3E the respective mailing list post]		We previously used the "release" or "debugoptimized" buildmode for Meson or "Release" or "RelWithDebInfo" for CMake.

			==== abuild-meson introduced ====

			abuild-meson is a small wrapper shellscript that wraps meson (directly inspired by Arch Linux's arch-meson and Void Linux's build_style=meson), calling it with the correct options for packaging in Alpine Linux. APKBUILDs should switch to using it to guarantee all APKBUILDs that use meson have the same set of options.

			===== busybox no longer provider 'patch' builtin =====

			The builtin is a prototype which fails the moment any fuzzing needs to be done and as such is not usable too many cases to justify its inclusion, build-base (which provider compilers and other development tools) now depends on patch and others need to install patch by themselves if they plan on using it.

			the abuild package already depended on it and it is widely used in Alpine Linux's aports.

	We've added initial support for the D language with this release. We now have GDC, the D compiler frontend using GCC, available on all arches but ppc64le and LDC, a D compiler using the LLVM backend, on x86_64. Most things are built against ~~ldc~~ and ~~as such only available on x86_64 right now due to GDC shipping~~ a ~~rather outdated version~~ of ~~the Phobos,~~ the D standard library.		We've added initial support for the D language with this release. We now have GDC, the D compiler frontend using GCC, available on all arches but ppc64le and LDC, a D compiler using the LLVM backend, on x86, x86_64 and aarch64. Most things are built against LDC, since it offers superior optimization and a vastly newer versions of the D runtime and standard library. These contain many important bug fixes (especially on aarch64) and contain features required by many D applications.
