Summary

This update to the RPM package management system focuses on enhanced compatibility, security, and stability. Key improvements include support for both RPM v4 and v6 packages, including support for OpenPGP v6 and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) keys. The system now enforces signature checking by default, utilizes full key IDs for identification, and provides comprehensive documentation with an overhauled man page. Numerous bug fixes address issues with dependency generation, memory management, signature handling, and regressions within the 6.0 alpha release, alongside updates to man pages and translations. Support for RPM v3 packages has been removed, and architectural support has been expanded to include E2K.
