EDIT: The hardened-malloc for these apps needs to be activated with the following command because i forgot in this ISO(will fix later):
doas chmod +x /usr/local/bin/{alacritty,element,gnome-keyring-daemon,keepassxc,kleopatra,mpv}Changelog
This release marks the first layer 02 release candidate.
All features are now fully functional. PipeWire capability (now handled by the
lainos-audio-initpackage, which was relocated from withinprotocol7-coreto its own separate package) and syslog-ng logging capability are fixed. The wholeprotocol7-corestack has undergone fuzz testing with dfuzzer, AddressSanitizer, and libFuzzer. All interfaces pass clean. This RC phase will continue for another week or two, and will be released as stable thereafter.Security Analysis
