aports
QtWebKit was removed due to lack of upstream support
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 #12888 for more information.
radvd no longer enables ipv6 forwarding
The radvd init script no longer enables ipv6 forwarding. To enable ipv6 forwarding (necessary for most networks), add net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf or to a file in /etc/sysctl.d.
New package signing keys
New signing keys have been generated for v3.15 ongoing. The key size has been increased from 2048 bits to 4096 bits. Make sure you have alpine-keys-2.4-r0 or later before upgrading to 3.15 (or downgrading from edge).
Ruby 3.0
Ruby has been upgraded to version 3.0.
LLVM12 added
LLVM12 is now available.
KDE
KDE Plasma has been upgraded to version 5.23, and KDE Applications have been upgraded to 21.08. Plasma Mobile Gear has been upgraded to 21.10.
Node.js
Node.js (LTS) has been upgraded to version 16.13.0. nodejs-current has been upgraded to 17.0.1.
PHP
PHP 7.4 started to phase out (1 year of security support left). Transition to 8.0 is not finished yet as some app still require old version.
Postgresql 14
Postgresql has been upgraded to version 14.0.
Mercurial
mercurial has been upgraded to 5.9.3
MIPS64 discontinued
The build hardware we use for building the packages is broken and the architecture is EOL, so there is no new hardware available anymore. As a consequence, there will be no v3.15 release for mips64, and existing releases can no longer receive security updates, so continued use of this architecture is not recommended.
Dlang build tools (DMD, DUB, LDC) have been updated
Both compilers have been updated to frontend version v2.098.0 (LDC equivalent: v1.28.0). Dub has been updated to v1.27.0. LDC now always uses `--export-dynamic` so that code compiled without debug infos (`-g`) will still have the function name in its stack trace.
OpenJDK 17 added
The latest OpenJDK LTS version (17) has been added to this release and is available via the community repository.
