Hello everyone,
 the new Apertis v2021.1 stable release is now available!

Apertis v2021.1 is the second stable release of the Apertis v2021
release flow. Apertis is committed to maintaining the v2021 release
stream until December 2022.

For more details about the Apertis release flows and support periods,
see https://www.apertis.org/designs/release-flow/

You can find the full release notes at
https://www.apertis.org/release/v2021.1/releasenotes/

This release only ships the security updates from Debian Buster and the
latest LTS Linux kernel on the 5.10.x series.

In addition, the GCC compiler now builds Position Independent
Executables (PIE) by default: this aligns Apertis to what Debian has
already been doing for a while so it is a pretty safe change, but it
still has the potential to surface other bugs. A whole-archive rebuild
is planned for the next release to ensure all binary packages reflect
the new default.

Thanks to everyone who contributed!
