Some 11 syscalls have been unlocked since the 6.6 release.
FFS2 has been made the default filesystem for new installs on most platforms.
The rpki-client web site has been launched.
Supported hardware on the arm64 platform has widened further, including support for Pine64 Pinebook Pro and Rasperry Pi 4.
The default compiler on the macppc platform has been switched to clang(1).
