v3.6.1

Highlight

This release fixes an issue where AUR packages listed in the IgnoredPkg array in the pacman.conf configuration file were still being reported in the list of pending updates (despite being ignored), leading to potential false positives during available updates listing.

Fixes

• Filter out ignored packages when checking for AUR packages update with paru (#305) - (8252253) by @Antiz96

Miscellaneous

• Update translations files (#306) - (bb7a435) by @Antiz96

Full Changelog: v3.6.0...v3.6.1

v3.6.0

Highlight

This release introduces the NoNotification option in the arch-update.conf configuration file, which allows to disable desktop notifications (the systray icon still acts as a visual indicator for available updates).

It also includes a general rework, improvement & simplification of the overall documentation for a better readability and maintenance.
Most notably, the documentation now recommends the usage of the xdg-terminal-exec specification to run Arch-Update in a specific terminal emulator, which is a way more sane and proper approach than the previously documented one.

Important note:
Some changes have been made to the way Arch-Update should be installed from source. Make sure to read the updated instructions (people using the AUR package are not affected).

v3.4.2

Highlight

This release introduces a fix to avoid potential false positive when listing Flatpak unused packages.

It also removes the AlwaysShowNews option from the arch-update.conf configuration. Indeed, it's fair to say that this option probably isn't used nor desired by anyone as its behavior most likely leads to undesired annoyances.

As a side note, I'd like to take this new release as an occasion to once again sincerely thank everyone supporting Arch-Update in any way!
So huge thanks to Arch-Update users, everyone that gave it a star on GitHub, opened issues, feature requests, pull requests or contributed to this project in any other way! ❤️
