+* sync-openpgp-key-refresh in portage(5) now supports more options:
+  'wkd', 'keyserver', and 'false-nowarn' to allow choosing the specific
+  refresh methods used and to suppress warnings if someone doesn't want
+  verification for a repo (bug #661518).

-* Fix timestamp comparison for Packages index by using UTC consistently
-  (bug #962832).
+* Many multiprocessing-related fixes for Python 3.14.
