Subject: Alpine Linux 3.18.0 Released

Dear all,

We are excited to announce the release of Alpine Linux 3.18.0, the
first in the v3.18 stable series.

Highlights:
- Linux kernel 6.1 - with signed kernel modules
- musl libc 1.2.4 - now with TCP fallback in DNS resolver
- Python 3.11
- Ruby 3.2
- Node.js (current) 20.1
- GNOME 44
- Go 1.20
- KDE Plasma 5.27
- Rust 1.69
- Experimental support for unattended installs via tiny-cloud

Significant changes:
- Kernel modules are now signed. Verified modules are not enforced by
  default, so 3rd party modules with akms still works. 
- All packages for ppc64le, x86, and x86_64 was linked with DT_RELR.
  This should have reduced the size of compiled binaries.
- Python pre-compiled files (pyc) are now shipped in separate packages.
  It is now possible to avoid installing those and save space by doing
  "apk add !pyc".

Upgrade notes:
As always, make sure to use "apk upgrade --available" when switching
between major versions.

The full list of changes can be found in the wiki, git log and bug tracker.
