Element.io shipped stable after testing [ref:4], while the signing infrastructure gains critical backup and inspection capabilities [ref:15].

Element.io 1.12.18-1 moved from extra-testing to extra-x86_64 [1], marking the Matrix client ready for production installs. Meanwhile, signstar gained a `backup dump` subcommand for YubiHSM2 that decrypts and inspects wrapped backups [2], paired with new documentation on the YubiHSM Wrap format [3] — essential for operators managing signing infrastructure at scale. Across the stack, archinstall's dependency pipeline is catching up: mypy bumped to 2.1.0 [4], pydantic advanced to 2.13.4 [5], and the Budgie desktop profile swapped out KDE apps for better native integration [6]. Code editor landed 1.119.1-1 in testing [7], Thunderbird pushed 150.0.2-1 [8], and lib32-curl moved to 8.20.0-7 on multilib [9]. Signstar's recent commits cleaned up obsolete mkosi configuration and build scripts [10] [11] [12].
