yay

Changelog

• fix(mod): update vendored modules

• Bugfix apostrophe and bracket

• Move note yay --option /= yay -Syu --option.

• Fix -U complete

• Add missing diff completions for zsh

• Fix typos in man page

• fix(ci): add previous_tag from git describe

Terms and conditions of v9.4.0 still apply

I use manjaro and this doesn't work!

Manjaro packages pacman separately, therefore you're still in an old version. Manjaro also packages yay so all you have to do is wait and ignore this update for now

I use ARM and this doesn't work

Archlinux ARM hasn't updated to pacman 5.2 yet, yay v9.3.3 will serve you well until then. I'll package a new release with ARM binaries as soon as it becomes available.

Changelog

• Fix issue where --absdir was not respect
• ABS dirs are copied instead of symlinked as in yay pre9.3

This release requires pacman>=5.2

Check if you're automatically upgrading https://github.com/Jguer/yay/issues/1084

Changelog

• Further uncoupling of modules
• Diffs are done from the last reviewd commit (git ref AUR_SEEN)
• --searchby can be used to search for packages using a specific field
• --batchinstall is back
• --absdir can be used to set ABS package directory
• $AURDEST can be used to set AUR package build directory

bin packages will be provided for armv7h and aarch64 once pacman 5.2 reaches core in those platforms.

Changelog

• Completions moved to a separate module
  • Completions are stored in ~/.cache/yay by default or $(XDG_CACHE_HOME)/yay
• Fixes make docker-build
• Fixes issue of $GOPATH/pkg folders being created during runtime. Read #1047, it's weird

Changelog

• Change depsolver to not use a preallocated slice to get make only deps. Fixes weird crashes when cleaning make dependencies
• Makefile improvements
• Use BuildDir instead of cacheHome to store ABS PKGBUILDS with -G
• Remove #788 group-transactions as second order deps with --nobatchinstall were being wrongly detected, feature was also added without a manpage entry, may come back once issues are solved.

Changelog

• -G for ABS now uses git and symlinks. Packages are kept in the ~/.cache/yay and the result is symlinked to the working directory
• Fixes some information messages
• Out-of date format change
• Fixes typos
• Fixes issues in bash completion

Changelog

• Fix typos at various points
• Remove makedeps will run even if makepkg is killed or errors out ( #961) (think more pkill makepkg than Ctrl+C on yay)

• armv7h and aarch64 builds are now fully supported in yay-bin

Changelog

• Support -Sl
• Add support for building using docker
• Add support for multiarch builds

• Code quality improvements

aarch64 builds have been included for this release but are untested. If nothing goes wrong they will be included in every release from now on.

• Don't abort on inner conflicts as they may still work

Changelog

• Fix #736 (Cache VCS repositories only)
• Fix #730 (yay tries to install packages as dependencies that are already satisfied)
• Typo fixes
• Fix provider menu showing when it shouldn't
• Fix dangling src/ directory
• Rename afterclean to cleanafter
  • --cleanafter or --nocleanafter are the new accepted flags

Notes

Starting next version, yay will transition to full semantic versioning and drop git count versioning for simplicity and for go mod. So next version should be 9.0.0 or (8.1159.0 cough cough cough)

Changelog

• Touch up makefile
• Touch up manpages
• Fix bugs related with siglevel

Mostly a maintenance release, the new config reader should be the biggest addition but shouldn't detract from the stability of the release.

• Default Build dir to cache and not config

If you are an existing user you should not have been affected by these bugs.
