This is a GLEP 42 news-item template. It is here as a reference for the next real news item this overlay needs to ship. The directory name is `TEMPLATE/` (no YYYY-MM-DD prefix), so `eselect news` and Portage both skip it during news discovery and it never reaches users.

To create a real news item:

1. Copy this directory, renaming it to
   `YYYY-MM-DD-short-slug/`, e.g.
   `2026-05-01-gwyddion-2x-dropped/`.
2. Rename `TEMPLATE.en.txt` inside the new directory to
   match: `2026-05-01-gwyddion-2x-dropped.en.txt`.
3. Update the headers above (Title, Author, Posted).
4. Replace this body prose with the actual announcement.
5. Keep `Revision: 1` on first publication. Increment it
   only if you edit an item that has already been published.
Header notes:

  • `Display-If-Installed` (optional, repeatable) restricts display to users who have the named package atom installed. Without it, the item shows to every user on sync. Prefer scoping to installed packages when the news is relevant only to some.
  • `Display-If-Keyword: amd64` restricts by architecture.
  • `Display-If-Profile: default/linux/amd64/23.0` restricts by profile.
  • Body lines should wrap at ~70 characters for readability in the default `eselect news read` output.
  • The item is signed by the maintainer's key at push time (same flow as ebuild commits in this overlay) — no in-repo signature is needed.

Remove this whole template body and the placeholder headers before publishing.
