CachyOS shipped Linux 7.2-rc5-1 with a new AMD P-State optimization branch while the CLI installer got stripped down and refactored for cleaner deployment logic.

The kernel release [1] rebases to upstream 7.2-rc5 and adds a dedicated 7.2/amd-pstate branch alongside updates to the cachy and fixes branches, including a USB controller quirk. In parallel, the New-Cli-Installer saw aggressive cleanup [2] removing subprocess calls and consolidating mirror ranking into its own module, with hostcache enabled by default and firewall setup conditional on installation [3][4][5][6]. The kernel-patches repo merged PRJC scheduler support with a revert of a POC patch [7], and jay-git package landed at v1.14.0 across both the AUR-derived and git-patches repos with cargo test disabled to speed builds [8][9][10][11]. Cachy-update absorbed upstream Arch-Update improvements including input error handling for service restart selection, adding robustness to the update workflow [12][13][14], while ananicy-rules shipped a hotfix [15] addressing login manager classifications that were being over-throttled as BG_CPUIO instead of Launcher type [16][17][18].
