Test window before official release of the updates

~3 days

The testing window is extended a bit, expect also a next batch (to be tested later this month).

It has been planned to group updates for the convenience of administrators (stay tuned in blog).

Meanwhile If you didn't notice yet, an updated xen package landed in testing repo, it addresses some low risk vulnerabilities as reported at:

• VSA-2026-017 (XSA-491, CVE-2026-42487)
