== Detailed Description ==

RPM 4.18 contains various improvements over previous versions, but in
particular this release addresses a whole class of symlink handling
related security issues, some with CVE's, from 2021. Other notable
improvements include
* A more intuitive conditional builds macro `%bcond`

I looked this up[1] because it caught my attention. This is an
extremely welcome change and I would like to shower praise upon
everyone who worked on it.

Big +1 from me too, this is so good to see.  Thanks Panu & all.

I like this so much I've opened Fedora 36 and 35 backports:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/pull-request/182
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/pull-request/183

Will also try to see if this is technically possible in c9s.
