HYPRLAND GRADUATES TO STABLE, RATHOLE REMOVED
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
Hyprland and its core dependency Aquamarine shipped from staging to extra-x86_64, marking the wayland compositor's promotion to stable after recent updates.
Two major moves hit the repos overnight. Hyprland 0.56.1-2 [1] followed by its full graduation to extra-x86_64 [2], with companion library Aquamarine [3] moving alongside it after testing. This clears the staging pipeline and signals confidence in the current release. Separately, rathole dropped from extra-x86_64 entirely [4], likely due to maintenance burden or dependency conflicts. On the buildbtw front, OIDC identity handling got refactored [5] to separate concerns from the main user model, closing a long-standing architecture issue. Supporting work landed to expand the ConnectionTrait implementation [6], strengthening the database layer. Over 52 commits across both repos shipped this period.
