LIBSSH2 PATCHES CROSS CORE AND MULTILIB. LIBTORRENT AND LIBGUESTFS STAGE MAJOR UPDATES

Arch is pushing security and stability patches across its core SSH library while three major package updates queue for testing.

The libssh2 library is getting a dual push: version 1.11.1-6 lands in core-testing [1] while the 32-bit variant 1.11.1-4 moves through multilib-testing [2], signaling coordinated patching across your base system. Libtorrent-rasterbar jumps to 1:2.1.0-1 in extra-staging [3], a major version bump that will need close watch before promotion. Libguestfs 1.60.0-1 is in extra-testing [4], and python-html5tagger reaches 2.0.0-1 in extra-any [5]. The libssh2 updates are the priority here: they're in core-testing, which means they're closer to stable and more likely to affect your next system update. Watch libtorrent's migration out of staging carefully if you run any torrent clients or applications that depend on it.
