Documentation
Multiple contributors have submitted fixes to our Administrator’s Handbook, which have all been merged.

gcompat 0.4.0 has been released, bringing wider support and building on Travis CI. Read more in the official release announcement.
libucontext
libucontext is also now using Travis CI for automatic per-commit testing.
Packaging
A. Wilcox (awilfox@) updated many packages, including Gutenprint (printer drivers), Quaternion (Matrix chat client), and KDE applications.
Kiyoshi Aman (aerdan@) updated MATE packages.
Dan Theisen (djt@) updated nano, Postfix, and Protobuf, and added packages for Ruby RSpec.
General discussion
The patch for incorrect behaviour in the apk-tools list applet has landed upstream.
Our GRUB package has been overhauled to use /etc/default/grub as most other distributions, instead of /etc/update-extlinux.conf.
