Spring is here again and with it, a preview of what's coming in the next major RPM update later this year, version 4.20, in the form of an ALPHA pre-release.
As per usual, a number of new features are in the works, most of which have already landed in this pre-release and are ready for a test drive. We've also (finally!) made the plugin API public, and removed the insecure legacy OpenPGP parser (replaced by Sequoia in 4.19).
It took quite a bit of pondering and back-and-forth to hash out a feasible plan where RPM can still be bootstrapped without either the internal OpenPGP parser or Rust entering the picture, but here we go. If you're a distro builder or just interested in the details, see the updated INSTALL file or #2984 for more background information.
You may also want to check out the Compatibility notes, in case your package(s) are affected.
