This release marks the first layer 02 release candidate(with added cleanup and hardened_malloc activated).
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(final)
