Peter Jung reverted the plasma-login-manager drop after community push-back, while a critical llvm-propeller update fixes breakage with LLVM 22 kernels.

The plasma-login-manager package is back in CachyOS-PKGBUILDS after being dropped [1], reversing a recent decision. On the package side, llvm-propeller got a critical upstream sync that addresses a fatal incompatibility with LLVM 22 kernel profiles, which were failing with "unsupported SHT_LLVM_BB_ADDR_MAP version: 5" [2]. Cachy-update shipped v4.1.0 [3], pulling in the latest upstream releases [8], while translation work landed for Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish [7]. The AUR-derived repo saw routine automated bumps: iloader to 2.3.0 [5], faudio to 26.08 [6], and sysd-manager to v2.20.4 [4]. Statuspage infrastructure remained stable across 22 commits and 23 PRs, with all mirrors reporting healthy uptime [9].
