What's new?

A summary of changes that took place:

• A glaucus ISO is finally being released for the first time! This marks a new huge milestone for glaucus after years of hard work and dedication. The ISO supports booting in both BIOS/MBR and UEFI modes, but is still in beta phase and in read-only mode (overlayfs for read-write mode and EROFS support have been proposed to booster and will hopefully be provided in the following releases)
• glaucus is now self-hosting, being able to bootstrap itself under itself! This is also another huge milestone, and it has lead to a reduction of in the number of packages being included in the bootstrap phase, making it faster and more minimal
• libudev-zero is now the default libudev implementation
• mdevd is now the default udevd implementation
• muon is now the default meson implementation
• mold is no longer the default linker (see this and this)
• OpenBSD M4 is no longer the default M4 implementation (autoconf requires GNU M4)
• Arch Linux kernel and modules are being used for this release
• Updated cerata
