2026-08-20: swig4-4.5.0-1 (Tool that connects C, C++ programs with HLL)
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C,
C++, and Objective-C with a variety of high-level programming languages.
SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages such as Perl, 
Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, and Guile but has also been extended to include
languages such as Java and Eiffel. SWIG is most commonly used to create
high-level interpreted programming environments and as a tool
for building user interfaces.

2026-08-19: libaprutil.0-shlibs-1.6.3-2 (APRUTIL shared libraries)
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and
  maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent
  interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal
  is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured
  of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on
  which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code
  special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of
  platform-specific deficiencies or features.

2026-08-17: postfix-2.11.0-2 (Mail transfer agent that's fast and secure)
Postfix is Wietse Venema's mailer that started life as an alternative to
the widely-used Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to
administer, and secure, while at the same time being sendmail compatible
enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish
flavor, but the inside is completely different. 

This package provides TLS encryption and SASL authentication.
