This release brings a number of quality-of-life improvements for package
authors and maintainers, most notably:
* New spec snippet support for dynamic spec generation
* New sysusers.d(5) integration for automated user and group handling
* Proper shell-like globbing and escaping in %files and CLI
* Memory and address-space aware build resource allocation
Under the hood, especially in RPM's own build process department, the most
notable changes are:
* New CMake build system, replacing Autotools
* Adoption of Linux containers in the test-suite, replacing Fakechroot
* Support for find_package(rpm) in CMake projects using RPM libraries
