We have had a particularly large repo sync yesterday with updates across the board. Reilly Brogan has been putting in some fantastic work along with new contributors starting to come on board.
- vulkan: Stack updated
- systemd: Overhaul including setting console font to terminus by default
- Kernels: Further enablement meaning we now have basically all features/hardware enabled besides some deprecated things. BBRv3 patch added
- Discord: Krisp audio fixed
- libxcrypt: Switched to the new ABI and had legacy/deprecated algorithms disabled
- cyrus-sasl: Package split which may result in a required plugin not being installed. Please report if this happens to you so they can be added as rundeps of the appropriate package
- okular: Markdown support enabled
- ibus: Updated and had an enablement pass to make sure we're building everything useful. Not fully tested so please report any issues.
- alsa: Stack updated
- fontconfig: Major update and fixed an issue where the trigger was subtly wrong (it would run before the new /usr was mounted which meant the cache would be generated from whatever fonts were installed before the update).
- iana-etc: Package added which basically manages /etc/protocols and /etc/services and means that updating those is a simple package update
- linux-pam: Package split so that the pam configs are part of linux-pam-base
- libcanberra: Fixed an issue where all of the actual plugins that did things were ending up in the devel package, making libcanberra effectively useless
- sudo-rs: Package updated
- shadow: Package had a big update so please test and report back
- merkuro: Package added
- vscode-bin: Package added
- neochat: Package added
- Various other updates and enablements, including freerdp, mesa, harfbuzz, sqlite, inputplumber, asusd, abseil, boost, diffutils, drm-info, elfutils, go-task, jsoncpp, kf6-kirigami-addons, lcms2, lmdb, libseccomp, libcap, libei, libidn2, libostree, libpng, meson, libusb, libwebp, nettle, libxml2, opencv, nftables, php, ruby, qemu, spice, steam, wget, xwayland, and waybar
