UPGRADE NOTES

As always, make sure to use apk upgrade --available when switching between major versions.

• openrc has  removed the deprecated /sbin/rc binary. Make sure your /etc/inittab uses /sbin/openrc.
• iptables-nft is now the  default iptables backend.
• linux-rpi4 and linux-rpi2 kernels have been replaced by a single linux-rpi
• yggdrasil was upgraded to  0.5 and the new routing scheme is  incompatible with previous versions.
• Python’s package directory is now  marked as  externally managed, which means that pip can no longer install to system directory which is managed by apk. Users may use  pipx instead.
