* (Windows) Set the executable's build time in PE header to the current
time. A custom timestamp can be specified via the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH``
environment variable to allow reproducible builds. (:issue:`[#6469](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6469)`)
* Add strictly unofficial support for the `Termux
<https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/>`_ platform. (:issue:`[#6484](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6484)`)
* Replace the dual-process ``onedir`` mode on Linux and other Unix-like OSes
with a single-process implementation. This makes ``onedir`` mode on these
OSes comparable to Windows and macOS, where single-process ``onedir`` mode
has already been used for a while. (:issue:`[#6407](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6407)`)
Bugfix
* (macOS) Fix regression in generation of ``universal2`` executables that
caused the generated executable to fail ``codesign`` strict validation.
(:issue:`[#6381](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6381)`)
* (Windows) Fix ``onefile`` extraction behavior when the run-time temporary
directory is set to a drive letter. The application's temporary directory
is now created directly on the specified drive as opposed to the current
directory on the specified drive. (:issue:`[#6051](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6051)`)
* (Windows) Fix compatibility issues with python 3.9.8 from python.org, arising
from the lack of embedded manifest in the ``python.exe`` executable.
(:issue:`[#6367](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6367)`)
* (Windows) Fix stack overflow in `pyarmor`-protected frozen applications,
caused
by the executable's stack being smaller than that of the python interpreter.
(:issue:`[#6459](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6459)`)
* (Windows) Fix the ``python3.dll`` shared library not being found and
collected when using Python from MS App Store. (:issue:`[#6390](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6390)`)
* Fix a bug that prevented traceback from uncaught exception to be
retrieved and displayed in the windowed bootloader's error reporting
facility (uncaught exception dialog on Windows, syslog on macOS).
(:issue:`[#6426](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6426)`)
* Fix a crash when a onefile build attempts to overwrite an existing onedir
build
on macOS or Linux (:issue:`[#6418](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6418)`)
* Fix build errors when a linux shared library (.so) file is collected as
a binary on macOS. (:issue:`[#6327](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6327)`)
* Fix build errors when a Windows DLL/PYD file is collected as a binary on
a non-Windows OS. (:issue:`[#6327](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6327)`)
* Fix handling of encodings when reading the collected .py source files
via ``FrozenImporter.get_source()``. (:issue:`[#6143](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/6143)`)
* Fix hook loader function not finding hooks if path has whitespaces.
