5.4.9.0-leisure

[5.4.9.0], 2025-02-16, leisure

This is a maintenance leisure release and is probably the last leisure release before the
upcoming Natasha milestone mandatory release. The changes here are largely behind the scenes
bug fixes and adjustments to the build process to ensure compatibility with newer distributions.

Enjoy.
