Significant changes
-------------------

Support for Raspberry Pi 5 was added.

Upgrade notes
-------------

As always, make sure to use `apk upgrade --available` when switching between
major versions.

- `openrc` has removed the deprecated `/sbin/rc` binary. Make sure your
  `/etc/inittab` uses `/sbin/openrc`.
- `iptables-nft` is now the default iptables backend.
- `linux-rpi4` and `linux-rpi2` kernels have been replaced by a single
  `linux-rpi`.
- `yggdrasil` was upgraded to 0.5, and the new routing scheme is
  incompatible with previous versions.
- Python's package directory is now marked as externally managed, which
  means that `pip` can no longer install to a system directory managed
  by `apk`. Users may use pipx[1] instead.
