Here are the most important improvements in this version of PacUI:

  • Support for Yaourt was removed, because of strong security concerns.

  • Support for Pakku and Aurman as AUR helpers was added.

  • A new default Order of AUR helpers according to their feature sets, security, popularity, and speed:

    • Yay
    • Pikaur
    • Aurman
    • Pakku
    • Trizen
    • Pacaur

    If you are using multiple AUR helpers, you can now set your preferred one either by editing PacUI's code directly or using the PACUI_AUR_HELPER environment variable.

  • There should be a noticeable speed improvement to PacUI's package info preview in "Install Packages". For best performance, Yay is recommended. Aurman and Pikaur (and sometimes Trizen) can be noticeably slower.

  • "Maintain System" now checks for no longer maintained packages, which were moved to the AUR. By default, it is recommended to remove these packages manually.

  • Further fixes, which were necessary due to Pacman 5.1. General fixes and improvements.
