New features and noteworthy new packages

• Initial support for mips64 (big endian).
• Initial support for D programming language.

Significant updates

• Linux 5.4.43
• GCC 9.3.0

Upgrade notes

• After upgrading to OpenSSH >= 8.2_p1, the server will not accept new connections until it is restarted
