Red Hat's Lightwell flips the security script. Instead of waiting for upstream patches, it backports fixes directly to production Java libraries. Having cleared 400 vulnerabilities, its on track to grow.
Sequoia PGP arrives in Ubuntu 26.10 as a modern Rust-based OpenPGP tool that sits alongside GnuPG. Both implementations coexist for now, but the plan is to eventually phase out the latter.
Tuta Mail now has an app in the Nextcloud App Store, and a separate Nextcloud plugin in Tuta lets users upload email attachments to Nextcloud and embed video conference links in calendar events.
