BRAVE 1.93, MESA 26.1.6, AND NOCTALIA V5 LAND OVERNIGHT
By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS
Browser, GPU stack, and Niri desktop environment all ship major updates as automation churns through 37 commits across the distribution.
Brave hit 1.93.129 [1] [2], a jump from 1.92.144 that lands in both standard and origin-bin variants with checksums verified and no risk flags. Mesa jumped to 26.1.6 [3], a graphics stack update that touches both the main library and lib32 support. Noctalia jumped to v5 [4] [5], replacing the old quickshell implementation in the Niri desktop environment package. Cachy-update added error handling improvements [6] [7], turning remaining expect() calls into unwrap_or_else() and improving watcher error logging, plus translation file updates [8] [9]. Five smaller packages moved forward: GitHub Copilot CLI to 1.0.76 [10], Plasmazones to 3.3.2 [11], and Faugus Launcher to 2.0.4 [12], all automated with clean diffs and no detected issues.
