	qt5-qtwebkit, kdewebkit, wkhtmltopdf, and py3-pdfkit have been removed due to known vulnerabilities and lack of upstream support for qtwebkit. Other programs have been adjusted to use qt5-qtwebengine where appropriate. The most direct replacement for wkhtmltopdf is weasyprint, which is available in the Alpine Linux community repository. puppeteer and pandoc are also options, depending on your needs. See [https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/12888 #12888] for more information.		qt5-qtwebkit, kdewebkit, wkhtmltopdf, and py3-pdfkit have been removed due to known vulnerabilities and lack of upstream support for qtwebkit.

			=== PipeWire doesn't auto-start a session manager anymore ===

			In 3.14 and earlier the PipeWire default config was edited in packaging to auto-start pipewire-media-session as the default session manager. Since we now have wireplumber available as an alternative session manager, this has been changed in favor of a launch wrapper for pipewire at <code>/usr/libexec/pipewire-launcher</code>. When executed this will launch pipewire, pipewire-media-session or wireplumber, and pipewire-pulse, depending on what modules are available. If you were launching <code>/usr/bin/pipewire</code> and the session manager manually before, please use the new launcher wrapper instead. WirePlumber can now also be used as a proper alternative for pipewire-media-session.

PostgreSQL multiple major versions

Line 39:		Line 39:
	PostgreSQL packaging has been reworked to allow multiple major versions of PostgreSQL server to be installed side by side. This makes it possible to allow to upgrade PostgreSQL cluster from one major version to the next using <code>pg_upgrade</code> tool, and also to run an older major version of PostgreSQL on the latest version of Alpine Linux. The latest PostgreSQL version can be installed simply with <code>apk add postgresql</code> as before. If you need an older major version, install the specific package, e.g. {{pkg\|postgresql13}}. You can switch between installed major versions using command <code>pg_versions</code>.
