Noteworthy changes in this release, according to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2023-05/msg00001.html :
* New option --ignore-dirnlink
Valid in copy-out mode, it instructs cpio to ignore the actual number
of links reported for each directory member and always store 2
instead.
* Changes in --reproducible option
The --reproducible option implies --ignore-dirlink. In other words,
it is equivalent to --ignore-devno --ignore-dirnlink --renumber-inodes.
* Use GNU ls algorithm for deciding timestamp format in -tv mode
* Bugfixes
** Fix cpio header verification.
** Fix handling of device numbers on copy out.
** Fix calculation of CRC in copy-out mode.
** Rewrite the fix for CVE-2015-1197.
** Fix combination of --create --append --directory.
** Fix appending to archives bigger than 2G.

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)
