Hi, Christian!
I highly appreciate all the work you've been doing. I'm very happy to
see that there is a lot of development and community activity, and you
are handling most of it :)
I haven't been able to contribute in recent months, but I hope to resume
some engagement in the foreseeable future. It's very useful to get short
updates such as this one on the mailing list.
Above all, it's great to see that a much-improved version has made it
into Debian 13. Great work!
Best :)

Hello Folks,
I just wanted to share a quick update on what's been happening in the
project lately.
I'm not sure if anyone is monitoring the issues and pull requests (PR),
but there has been a lot activity over the past few weeks. Most of the
PRs where merged within less then one week. Usually, we have a rule to
keep a PR open for at least one week to cool done. In my experience,
this greatly improves their overall quality.
However, I shorten this period for some of the PRs because they where
blocking others, and I tried to avoid merge conflicts.
The ongoing larger task, is improving the man page. But before refining
the text, I focused on simplifying and making the command line
interface (CLI) more consistent.
I reduced the number of commands from 17 to 10. I also adjusted some
argument/flags. Renamed or removed commands and flags are still there
for backwards compatibility. They are hidden in --help output but will
trigger a deprecation warning when used. The plan is to fully remove
them in two or three years, after the release of Debian 14.
That's all for now.
Regards,
Christian Buhtz
