@github-actions github-actions released this 03 Apr 07:44
16cce43

Highlights:

  • Build a PKGBUILD in a given directory with yay -Bi
  • New install engine and dependency resolution algorithm
  • AUR metadata archive client
  • Regex AUR searching when using the AUR metadata client
  • Improved search menu ordering
  • New search by options thanks to the work over at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/aurweb

Check https://jguer.space/posts/yay-v12/ for more information

Notable breaking changes:

  • yay now defaults to -Syu when no targets are given. When targets are given yogurt mode (-Y) is used

Example:
yay --devel becomes yay -Syu --devel

yay -Y --gendb, yay -Yc and yay -Ycc should be used instead of yay --gendb , yay -c and yay -cc

Known bugs:

  • yay --help prints pacman --help, yay help is still accessible in yay -Yh in this version
