Arch Update's tray now runs desktop files in-process via the gio crate to eliminate zombie processes, while scx-manager ships Chinese and French translations and drops scx_cake profiles.

The cachy-update tray was spawning an external gio command to launch desktop files, leaving zombie (`<defunct>`) processes behind [1]. It now uses the gio / gio_unix crates directly. Watch for zombie gio processes to disappear after the next update; the fix also closes the reported issue #774 [2].

scx-manager added Simplified and Traditional Chinese (zh_CN, zh_TW) translations covering all 15 UI strings, and a French (fr) translation with desktop entry updates [3][4]. Locale aliases are registered so the .qm files load for those system locales. Maintainers also dropped scx_cake profiles from the profile list [5], and the corresponding packaged bump shipped separately [6].

On the packaging side, asusctl was dropped from cachyos-aur-derived [7], and winboat was dropped from CachyOS-PKGBUILDS [8]. coolercontrol moved to 5.0.0 [9], patool to 4.1.0 [10], and blocky to 0.35.0 [11]. The CachyOS Linux 7.3-rc2-1 release rebases on upstream 7.3-rc2 and adds a 7.3/hdmi branch with two HDMI 2.1 FreeSync/ALLM/VRR amendments [12].

Statuspage summaries updated [13] and both China mirrors (USTC and Nanjing) report up [14][15].
