[$] RPM 4.20 is coming

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) project is
nearing the release of RPM 4.20, the last major planned update for the RPM 4.x
series. It has few user-facing changes, but
several additions and enhancements for developers—as well as
some small incompatibilities that will likely require RPM packagers to
revise their spec
files. 4.20 will be rolling out to many users soon, in
Fedora 41, which is scheduled for October. RPM 6.0 is
already in the works, with a new package format and opening the door
to enabling C++ use in the RPM codebase.
