Thanks to the awesome @leftpaddotpysystemd-jaded and 9999years (I don't have their fedi?!), we now have 2.93.0: lix.systems/blog/2025-05-06-li.

The release notes contain a lot of goodies, nevertheless, another cool thing about it is that it contains a tremendous effort from eldritch horrors to rewrite the I/O and threading model to KJ: the Cap'n'Proto asynchronous runtime.

This unveiled a massive amount of hidden ordering constraints in the codebase, very hard to debug.
