GLIBC 2.43 REBUILD SHIPS, INSTALLER JUMPS TO C++26

CachyOS pushed glibc 2.43 through the pipeline while the CLI installer upgraded its C++ standard to C++26, signaling a major refresh across core infrastructure.
The glibc rebuild [1] hit the PKGBUILDS repo as the foundation layer gets refreshed, with libtool following suit [2]. Simultaneously, the new CLI installer kicked off its standards migration by upgrading from C++23 to C++26 [3], alongside internal refactoring to migrate process handling [4] [5] and add logger infrastructure [6]. Across the AUR-derived packages, automation rolled through routine updates: shader-slang to 2026.14 [7], ab-download-manager to 1.10.1 [8], github-copilot-cli to 1.0.75 [9], sunshine to 2026.725.25407 [10], and amneziawg-dkms to 1.0.20260725 [11]. On the live ISO front, unnecessary pacman configuration comments were stripped out [12], while cachyos-mango-noctalia v1.1.0 landed in both the PKGBUILDS [13] and main calamares installer [14]. The installer now includes gvfs-dnssd for GNOME [15], which is "required for WebDAV, GNOME's default sharing system in local networks," fixing connectivity gaps in file sharing. Wiki translations got heavy attention with German gaming and dual-GPU docs updated [16] [17], plus system tweaks cleaned up with SDDM Wayland tips removed [18]. cachy-update released i18n updates [19] while fixing tray startup race conditions and input validation [20] [21].
