BASH GRADUATES TO STABLE, CORE STACK SOLIDIFIES
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux
Bash moved from testing to core [ref:3], signaling the shell update is ready for production systems across the board.
The bash promotion [1] follows successful testing cycles and clears the path for dependent packages to move forward. Alongside that stability push, ldns graduated to core-testing [2] for DNS resolver validation, while abseil-cpp received a build fix in extra-staging [3]. Openucc and Inkscape updates landed in extra-staging for broader ecosystem testing [4][5]. No breaking changes reported across the batch, but watch ldns through the testing phase before it hits stable.
