Full Changelog: v3.10.0...v3.11.0

v3.10.0

Highlight

This release makes the blue systray icon the default one.

The "light" and "dark" systray icons are barely visible when using a theme of the same tone. The "blue" one has the advantage of being visible on most theme variants and is therefore a better default.

Of course, you can still switch to your preferred icon color variant via the TrayIconStyle option in the arch-update.conf configuration file! 🤗 🎨

• Make the blue systray icon the default (#362) - (8485cd1) by @Antiz96

• (systray) Fix crash when the 'updates' state file does not exist (#361) - (c729881) by @Antiz96

Full Changelog: v3.9.1...v3.9.2

v3.9.1

Highlight

This release improves the design to highlight the number and the list of available updates for each sources (Packages, AUR, Flatpak) that was introduced in the v3.9.0 release by relying on "first level" dropdown menus instead of sub-menus. This prevents potential visual overlaps with the main menu level (see #354) and is arguably a better design as it is more streamlined and requires less actions / mouse movements to get the related information:

Note: When upgrading to v3.9.1 , this new design will only appear at the next start of the systray applet. After you upgraded, you can close the systray applet via the "Exit" button in the right-click menu and restart it by running the "Arch-Update Systray Applet" graphical application from your application menu.

It is also now possible to run Arch-Update by clicking on the "X update(s) available" menu entry.

Features

• (systray) Run arch-update when clicking on the "X update(s) available" menu entry (#357) - (07a3aa2) by @Antiz96

Fixes

• (systray) Drop sub-menus for update sources in favor of "first level" dropdown menus (#355) - (532e1f3) by @Antiz96

Full Changelog: v3.9.0...v3.9.1

v3.9.0

Highlight

This new release brings a German translation and introduces dropdown sub-menus for each sources of available updates (Packages, AUR, Flatpak) to the systray applet, providing an easy way to distinguish the number and the list of available updates for each of them:

• Sub-menus for sources with 0 pending update are not shown.
• The "All" sub-menu is only shown when relevant (meaning when at least two sources have pending updates).
• The "NoVersion" configuration file option is honored in sub-menus.

See the related pull request for more screenshots and implementation details.

Note: When upgrading to v3.9.0 , the new dropdown sub-menus will only appear at the next start of the systray applet. After you upgraded, you can close the systray applet via the "Exit" button in the right-click menu and restart it by running the "Arch-Update Systray Applet" graphical application from your application menu.

v3.8.0

Highlight

This release sets a more reasonable default value for the Arch news check requests timeout and introduces the new NewsTimeout option in the arch-update.conf configuration file to customize it:

NewsTimeout=[Num] 
    Timeout threshold for the Arch news check requests. 
    The value is expressed in seconds and has to be an integer. 
    Setting this option to "0" results in no timeout (no time limit for requests to complete). Defaults to 10.

v3.7.5

Highlight

This release prevents the kernel_reboot library to be sourced when running the script from WSL.
Indeed, running this library from WSL doesn't serve any purpose (as the kernel is managed by WSL itself) and it leads to false positives.
