Good morning,

Today we are shipping small reliability improvements and a few security updates for bundled packages. Of special note is the upgrade of Phalcon 5, Python 3.9 and move of the StrongSwan vici library into a separate package.

This release will be the last of the 22.1 series. The release candidate for 22.7 will be available next week and the release date for the final version is July 28. Users wishing to try the release candidate can reach it from the development version or reinstall from the provided images.

A hotfix will be issued on the 28th to enable the upgrade path, but depending on testing and mirror availability this might be up to 24 hours after the intial image release of 22.7.
