Alpine 3.21.0 released

[Rainmaker]

For those of us running servers (or really cool desktops ), Alpine have just released 3.21.0. Highlights include:

• Linux kernel 6.12
• GCC 14
• LLVM 19
• Node.js (lts) 22.11
• Rust 1.83
• Crystal 1.14
• GNOME 47
• Go 1.23
• KDE Plasma 6.2
• LXQt 2.1
• PHP 8.4
• Qt 6.8
• Sway 1.10
• .NET 9.0

I've upgraded our local servers (2x DNS, 1x WireGuard, 1x Docker host and 1x Hyper-V sandbox) and it's all smooth sailing. Note you'll need to restart sshd due to a version upgrade, but this time there's a script in the APK upgrade to prompt you. Since the new release includes a new kernel, it's moot as you'll probably want to do sync; reboot straight away anyway.

<3 Alpine.

The thing with Phoronix users is that it's always hard to tell if they are serious or trolling.

Near spat out my brandy, then I realised you are quoting someone on there.
