A plymouth packaging fix removes a static asset that garbles the LUKS unlock screen after upstream releases, while CachyOS 7.2.7-1 rebases the kernel and the installer learns to skip plymouth entirely.

Sync plymouth keymap-render.png with installed plymouth CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by jtbrough

Both cachyos-plymouth-theme and cachyos-plymouth-bootanimation committed a static keymap-render.png that the installed plymouth slices using pixel offsets baked into that package, so an upstream release could shift the offset table and garble the text on your LUKS unlock screen. The packages now pull the image from plymouth's spinner theme at build time, which plymouth keeps in sync itself.

CachyOS Linux 7.2.7-1 CachyOS/linux

by ptr1337

The release rebases to upstream 7.2.7 from 7.2.6-1 and re-applies the 7.2/vesa-dsc-bpp branch, including VESA EDID block parsing renames, DSC passthru support, and a change restricting MSO to non-eDP displays.

Make plymouth optional (#273) CachyOS/cachyos-calamares

by Vasiliy Stelmachenok

Calamares now moves plymouth out of pacstrap into netinstall, so the boot splash is no longer forced on every install, and plymouthcfg verifies the chosen theme was actually installed before applying it.

cleanup CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by witchlliee

The AUR-derived cleanup drops -git packages and packages flagged as useless or unsupported, while fluxer moves to a stable package at v2026.922.193957 and fluxer-canary is removed, so anyone tracking the canary should switch packages.

php: Update to v8.5.11 CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by witchlliee

Elsewhere: php 8.5.11, nodejs v26.10.0, and cachyos-mango-noctalia v1.4.0 in the PKGBUILDs tree, claude-desktop 2.7032.0 in cachyos-aur-derived, and Linux 7.2.7 plus scx-tools-git and scx-scheds-git bumps in the Fedora COPR, with all China mirrors reporting up.
