# Aura Changelog

## 4.2.0 (2026-01-14)

#### Added

- config: An `elevator` setting under `[general]` to manually set your privilege
  elevation program (e.g. `sudo`). If not set, `aura` will attempt to find
  `sudo`, `doas`, and `run0` in that order.

#### Changed

- Mandarin Chinese localisations now 100%.

#### Fixed

- CHANGELOG files are now copied to the build directory.
- The `install=...` PKGBUILD field is respected.

#### Deprecated

- The `doas` config setting under `[general]`. Use `elevator` instead.

## 4.1.0 (2025-12-16)

#### Added

- Improved Russian localisations.
- Added Latin localisations.

#### Fixed

- Support for libalpm 16.
- Ensure that all necessary Aura directories are created upon startup.

## 4.0.8 (2024-09-29)

#### Added

- Support for all compression formats listed in `makepkg.conf`.

#### Fixed

- Removed the check for `sudo` as it is causing more problems than it sought to fix.
- A humourous oversight involving simultaneous usage of `-Aa` and `--asdeps`.

## 4.0.7 (2024-09-15)

Pacman 7 has been released. See [here][pac7] for more information.

To upgrade Aura, you will need to do an `-Syu` first to get the new version of
`alpm`, after which Aura will temporarily break. Follow the manual building
instructions found in the README to get around this.

#### Fixed

- Account for the new version of Pacman and `alpm`.

## 4.0.6 (2024-09-14)

#### Added

- Bengali translations thanks to Saif Shahriar. ধন্যবাদ!
- `-Cc`: A new `-u` switch that causes only uninstalled packages to be checked and deleted.

#### Fixed

- Usage of `sudo` now results in an error.

## 4.0.5 (2024-09-08)

#### Changed

- Language options have been hidden from the output of `--help`. They can
  otherwise be viewed in the manpage.

#### Fixed

- Avoid printing error messages related to Pacman in certain scenarios.

## 4.0.4 (2024-08-24)

#### Changed

- Installation attempts will now pause if a Pacman database lockfile is detected
  (usually found at `/var/lib/pacman/db.lck`). Aura will repeatedly sleep and
  reattempt for up to 1 minute before failing; this is to prevent an infinite
  loop in scripts.

#### Fixed

- Restore support for `-Qtt`.

## 4.0.3 (2024-08-16)

#### Fixed

- `-Au`: Extra `-debug` packages will not be taken into account when determining packages that need upgrades.
- `-Auk`: don't display a diff (or even ask to) if the hash didn't change. Useful with `--git`.
- `-A`: a bug involving incorrect build order which would occasionally lead to
  top-level packages being marked as dependencies and subsequently being removed
  via the effects of `-a`.
- `-A`: tarballs built without compression (i.e. that end in `pkg.tar`) will be properly detected.

## 4.0.2 (2024-08-10)

#### Changed

- The `noconfirm` configuration option has been moved from the `[aur]` section
  to `[general]` in a backward-compatible way.

#### Fixed

- Zsh completions of `-S`.
- `check`: confirm that `dot` is on the system. If missing, it belongs to the `graphviz` package.
- `--noconfirm` now affects all prompts.
- `-Sw` no longer requires arguments. This reenables `-Syuw`.
- `-Bl` and `-Cl` now print paths in alphabetical order.

## 4.0.1

#### Added

- `-A`:
  - `-s --reverse` can be turned on permanently in config.
  - `--asdeps` reinstated.
- New `[aur]` configuration option `warn_unknowns`. If `false`, warning messages
  regarding "unknown packages" detected during an upgrade will be silenced.
- `check`: a check for any broken package clones (empty directories).

#### Fixed

- `-As`: search terms are split to improve robustness of search results.
- `-Au`: A version comparison inconsistency involving `-git` packages.
- Auto-generate the `~/.config/aura/` directory if it doesn't exist.
- Consider all possible locations of `makepkg.conf`.

## 4.0.0 (2024-07-31)

Aura 4 represents a signicant body of work to port Aura from Haskell to Rust.
The motivations for this rewrite are [discussed here][motivation]. Overall, Aura
is now much more performant and has a 4x smaller binary.

The main [aura][aura] package, not `aura-bin`, is now the recommended means of
installation.

It is no longer necessary to run `aura` with `sudo`. Aura is now internally
aware of when `sudo` is necessary and will prompt you as needed.

Aura's configuration format has also changed and it is much more customisable in
general. You can generate a new config file via:

```
aura conf --gen > ~/.config/aura/config.toml
```

Aura now builds as the local user in a local directory, which solves prior woes
involving environment variables and the sudo-barrier. However, `aura -A` can now
also be invoked by the `root` user, in which case just the actual invocation of
`makepkg` will be done as the `nobody` user. This allows Aura to be more easily
used on remote servers and within Docker containers.

For existing users, further details involving the transition from v3 to v4 are
available in the [Migration Guide][migration].

[motivation]: https://fosskers.github.io/aura/faq.html#why-did-you-rewrite-aura-in-rust
[migration]: https://fosskers.github.io/aura/migration.html

#### Added

- `-A`:
  - `-o` to open a foreign package's AUR page.
  - `-v` to look up packages by "provides" (package identities).
  - `--shellcheck` to scan PKGBUILDs before building.
  - `--limit` and `--reverse` as additional filters on `-As`.
  - Support for building in a `chroot` via `pkgctl build` if enabled in config.
- `-C`:
  - `-l` to print the contents of the package cache. Useful to pipe to other shell commands.
  - `-i` to display data of a package's cache entries. 
  - `-m` to display all installed packages that are missing tarballs in the cache.
  - `-n` to delete tarballs of packages not present in any snapshot.
  - `-t` to remove invalid package tarballs from the cache.
  - `-y` to download missing tarballs for installed packages.
- `-Oe` to display explicitly installed, top-level (i.e. unrequired) packages.
  Useful for detecting packages that you no longer need installed.
- `check` for confirming the overall health of your system.
- `conf` for generating and viewing various configuration files.
- `deps` command for analyzing dependency connections. 

```
aura deps gcc --reverse --optional --open
```

This produces the following image:

![](book/src/gcc.png)

- `free` to view information regarding software licenses of installed packages.
- `stats` for viewing various data about your system:
  - `--groups (-g)`: All installed package groups.
  - `--heavy`: The Top 10 packages with the biggest installation footprint.
  - `--lang (-l)`: Available localizations and how complete they are.
- `thanks` to view information about the people behind Aura.
- General support for `doas` across various commands.
- A proper offline info manual available via `info aura`.

#### Changed

- **Breaking:** The top-level command `--viewconf` is now called `conf`.
- **Breaking:** The top-level command `--languages` is now invoked by `stats -l`
  and also shows localization coverage for each language.
- **Breaking:** `-L` now prints to `stdout`.
- **Breaking:** `-Bc` no longer accepts an integer argument and instead clears
  all stale snapshots. "Stale" means that one or more packages in the snapshot
  is missing a tarball in the package cache.
- `-A`:
  - **Breaking:** The long form of `-Aw` has been changed from `--downloadonly` to
    `--clone`.
  - **Breaking:** `-d` used to stand for `--deps` but is now the shorthand for
    `--dryrun`. Dependency analysis can be done with the new top-level `deps`
    command.
  - **Breaking:** `--ignore` is now accepted multiple times with a single package
    argument, as opposed to the previous `--ignore=foo,bar,baz`.
  - `-Ak` now prompts you to continue after PKGBUILD diffs have been printed.
  - The performance of `-As` has been greatly improved.
  - `-Ax` now does nothing - build output is unsuppressed by default.
  - `--devel` has been renamed to `--git`, although the old name secretly still works.

#### Removed

- `-P` in its entirety.
- `-As --head` and `-As --tail` have been removed in favour of `--limit`.
- `--ignorearch`

## 3.2.10 (2024-07-17)

#### Added

- Hindi translations thanks to "yozachar". धन्यवाद!
- A `--turkish` flag to activate the Turkish localisations.

#### Fixed

- Corrections made to the Mandarin Chinese translation.
- Don't attempt to remove VCS dirs if they don't exist.
- Updated dependencies.

## 3.2.3 (2021-02-26)

Thanks to Cihan Alkan, Ratijas, and Evan Cameron for contributing to this release.

#### Added

## 3.2.2 (2020-10-29)

#### Fixed

- A bug involving permissions on the `/tmp` directory. [#661]

[#661]: https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/661

## 3.2.1 (2020-10-27)

With this release, Aura has passed 2,000 commits. Thank you for your ongoing support!

#### Changed

- **Breaking:** `-As` and `-Ai` will yield an exit code of `1` if no results were
  found. This matches `pacman`.
- `-As` now accepts multiple search terms to narrow in on specific packages.

#### Added

- `--nocheck` will be passed down to `makepkg` to avoid calling the `check()`
  function during the build process. [#647]
- `--hotedit` now has a short variant: `-e`. [#643]
- `-Ars <term>` or `-As <term> --both` can be used to yield results from both
  the AUR and official repos at the same time. [#644]

#### Fixed

- `-Sl` and `-Qil` now work as expected. [#636] [#642]
- Aura no longer displays the misleading `Please check your input.` message. [#639]
- File permission issues when building `*-git` packages. [#651] [#634]
- Bash completions are now possible again for Pacman commands. [#641]

## 3.1.9 (2020-09-11)

#### Added

- Pass `-u` to `-Cc` to save N installed packages, and remove all uninstalled ones. Example:

```
> sudo aura -Cc 3 -u
aura >>= The cache contains 1706 packages, consuming 7324 megabytes.
aura >>= 3 versions of each installed package will be kept.
aura >>= The rest will be deleted. Okay? [Y/n] n
```

Otherwise, the usual behaviour of `-Cc` is to save N packages in the cache,
regardless of if they are installed or not.

#### Fixed

- AUR packages with `+` in their name (e.g. `libc++`) can be searched and installed. [#630]

[#630]: https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/630

## 3.1.8 (2020-08-23)

#### Changed

- Updated Polish translations. Thank you, Michał Kurek!
- Bumped dependency bounds.

## 3.1.7 (2020-08-12)

Thanks to Sam Horvath-Hunt for contributing to this release.

#### Added

- Users can now configure Aura in `/home/YOU/.config/aura/aura.conf` instead,
  which takes priority over the default one at `/etc/aura.conf`.

#### Fixed

- Complications involving the cloning of `*-git` packages. [#615]

[#615]: https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/615

## 3.1.6 (2020-07-21)

#### Changed

- Binary size reduced by 60%!

## 3.1.5 (2020-07-15)

#### Changed

- Updated Spanish translations. Thank you, Max Ferrer!

#### Fixed

- Provide better output when a listed dependency doesn't exist.

## 3.1.4 (2020-06-11)

#### Fixed

- `PATH` is now passed down to all internal `pacman` calls. This fixes the
  inability to install DKMS packages.
  [#584](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/584)

## 3.1.2 (2020-06-10)

This release fixes a regression in `3.1.1`. Please update as soon as possible.

#### Added

- The `-c` / `--clean` flag for `-A`. After a package's tarball has been built
  and copied to the package cache, delete its build directory immediately. By
  default, build directories are left in `/tmp` to be cleaned by the OS, but for
  users who don't restart their machines often, this can clog up disk space.

#### Fixed

- **Apologies to Aura users.** The `-E` change in the previous release caused a
  lot of unexpected behaviour, so that change has be revoked. A future version
  of Aura will explore a better solution for handling environment variables.

## 3.1.1 (2020-06-02)

#### Changed

- Running Aura with `sudo -E aura ...` will ensure that the transfer of the true
  user's environment will persist all the way to the internal `makepkg` calls.
  This should help people who have set custom paths for GPG, `npm`, etc., via
  environment variables. See [#606](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/606).
  Users with standard setups don't need to worry about `-E`.

#### Removed

- Explicit dependency on `microlens`. Everything Aura uses now comes through `rio`.

## 3.1.0 (2020-05-27)

#### Added

- The `--skipdepcheck` flag to skip all dependency solving. Combine this with
  `--hotedit` to avoid discrepancies in custom dependency listings.
- `--skippgpcheck` is now available to pass through to `makepkg`.
- `aura.conf` now has a man page.

#### Changed

- Bumped `aeson` and `http-client` bounds.

## 3.0.0 (2020-05-20)

#### Added

- **Aura is now configurable via a conf file!** Aura expects it at
  `/etc/aura.conf`, but will not break if it's missing. If you install Aura via
  its AUR package, this file will be installed for you automatically.
- **A new top-level command: `-P`**. This allows users to analyse PKGBUILD
  files manually, as is usually done during building.
  - `-Pf` accepts a path to a PKGBUILD.
  - `-Pd` accepts a path to a directory containing a PKGBUILD.
  - `-Pa` to scan the PKGBUILDs of all locally installed AUR packages.
  - `-P` on its own will read from stdin. Combine this with `-Ap` to pull from the AUR:

```
> aura -Ap myget | aura -P

    sudo pacman -S aurvote

aura >>= sudo indicates that someone may be trying to gain root access to your machine.
aura >>= Potential PKGBUILD vulnerabilities detected.
```

- A new flag `--vcspath` to accompany the new VCS build behaviour (see below).
- A new flag `--allsourcepath` to accompany the restored `--allsource`
  functionality (see below).
- `-O --adopt` can now be called as `-Oa`.

#### Changed

- VCS packages (e.g. `*-git`, `*-svn`, etc.) and their cloned sources are now
  built and stored in `/var/cache/aura/vcs`. **Subsequent builds will no longer
  reclone everything.** [#462](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/462)
- `--hotedit` will now offer to edit `.install` and `.patch` files. [#208](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/208)
- Some modules have been renamed and moved around.
- `Aura.Diff` and `Aura.Pkgbuild.Base` have had their contents folded into other
  modules.

#### Fixed

- A regression that broke `-Bc`. [#592](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/592)
- The functionality of `--allsource` has been restored. [#538](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/538)
- A minor difference in the behaviour of `-Ss` relative to `pacman`. [#599](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/599)

## 2.3.0 (2020-04-22)

#### Added

- Allow `--asdeps` to be passed to `-A` commands.
- `-y` can be passed to `-A` commands again, like `-Ayu`.
- Dutch translations. Thank you, Joris Blanken!

#### Changed

- ~15% reduction in binary size and much faster compiles due to removal of
  unnecessary dependencies.
- `-Cc` now reports how much storage space was cleared.
- A few more messages when using `--log-level=debug`.

#### Removed

- `makepkgConfFile` wasn't being used anywhere.

#### Fixed

- A bug involving multiple prompts appearing at the same time when more than one
  package needs a custom provider selection.
  [#541](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/541)
- A bug involving the `+` character appearing in package names, like `crypto++`.
  [#520](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/520)
- A regression where the name of a parent package wouldn't be displayed when a
  dependency couldn't be found.
  [#513](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/513)

## 2.2.1 (2020-03-01)

#### Changed

- Further improved Italian translations.

#### Fixed

- Pass the Pacman flag `--overwrite` through properly.

## 2.2.0 (2020-02-25)

#### Added

- `--log-level` flag. Setting this to `debug` will give you some verbose logging
  output. This is different from the usual `-x` behaviour.

#### Changed

- Updated Italian translations. Grazie, Cristian Tentella!
- Support for GHC 8.8.2.

#### Fixed

- Users with many AUR packages installed will no longer see mysterious AUR
  connection failures. ([#528](https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/528))

## 2.1.0 (2020-02-17)

#### Added

- Reinstated `-Aw`, which downloads a snapshot tarball of an AUR package.

## 2.0.6 (2020-02-16)

#### Fixed

- Fixed the broken `-S`.

## 2.0.5 (2020-02-16)

#### Fixed

- Fixed a bug that prevented `-Syuu` and `-Scc`.

## 2.0.4 (2020-02-08)

#### Changed

- Removed `fused-effects` dependency in favour of `rio` to simplify code.

## 2.0.3

#### Changed

- Updated Spanish translations. Thanks to Max Ferrer!

#### Fixed

- Bug #543 involving locales. Thanks to Alexey Kotlyarov!

## 2.0.2

- Bug fixes and performance improvements.

## 2.0.0

This is a large update representing about a month of full-time effort. Aura is now
_much_ faster, solves dependencies more reliably, has a few new features, and
many fewer bugs. This is all while modernizing the code and seeing a ~15% decrease
in overall code size.

### Improvements

#### Dependency Handling

- Dependency resolution is now much faster and **handles split packages correctly**.
  As such, the following troublesome packages now build correctly:
  - `android-sdk`
  - `backintime`
  - `clion`
  - `libc++`
  - `mysql-connector-c++`
  - `telegram-desktop-dev`
  - `zoom`
- Dependency provider selection for AUR packages.
  - Example: `cron` is a legal dependency to specify, but there exists no package
    with that name. `cronie` and `fcron` both "provide" `cron`, and now the user
    can manually make a selection.
  - Including `--noconfirm` will have Aura make its best guess.
- If the exact version of an AUR package is available in the package cache, it
  will be used automatically instead of being rebuilt. You can instead force a
  rebuild with `--force`.

#### PKGBUILD Analysis

- In light of the recent [compromise of the Acroread package](https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2018-July/034151.html),
  Aura nows performs static PKGBUILD analysis before building, and warns the user if
  potentially malicious terms like `curl` are found.
  - This feature can be disabled with `--noanalysis`. Caveat emptor!
  - **This feature is a supplement in checking PKGBUILD safety, not a fool-proof replacement.**
    It is always your responsiblity to understand what build scripts are running
    on your machine.

#### Saved Package State

- `-Su` and `-Au` automatically save a package state before updating (unless you're doing `--dryrun`).
  This lets you more easily roll back from problematic updates.
- Saved package states can now be "pinned", which will protect them from removal via `-Bc`.
  To pin a certain state, open its JSON file (see below in _Breaking Changes_) and edit the
  `pinned` field from `false` to `true`.

#### CLI Flags

- Various CLI flag improvements:
  - `-A --json <packages>`. Query the AUR directly for a package's raw JSON data. Great for debugging.
  - `-Br` has been restored as short-hand for `-B --restore`.
  - Added `-Bl` to list all saved package state filenames.
  - `-Cb` added as a short-hand for `-C --backup`.
  - The Pacman flags `--ignoregroup`, `--cachedir`, `--config`, and `--logfile` also now affect Aura.
  - `--dryrun` no longer requires sudo.
  - `--color never` turns off all text colouring. Further, by default, Aura will
    only automatically colour text when it detects that the output device is a terminal
    (and not a Unix pipe, say). These behaviours match Pacman.

#### Translations

- Improved Japanese translations thanks to **Onoue Takuro**.
- Improved Portuguese translations thanks to **Wagner Amaral**.
- Improved Russian translations thanks to **Alexey Kotlyarov**.

#### Misc.

- Packages that aren't interdependent will be built in succession without prompting
  the user, only calling down to `pacman` once per group.
- Modernized the Haskell code:
  - Removed custom CLI flag handling in favour of `optparse-applicative`.
  - Removed custom package version number parsing in favour of `versions`.
  - Removed custom text colouring code in favour of `prettyprinter`.
  - Removed the `Aura` Monad in favour of Extensible Effects via `freer-simple`.
  - Removed custom shell interaction code in favour of `typed-process`.
  - Used `async` to make AUR and `pacman` calls concurrent.
  - `megaparsec` parsers used in place of hacky Regexes.
- `aura` is now a library as well, and can be pulled into other Haskell projects.

### Breaking Changes

- `-B` now saves package states as JSON. This makes them readable by other tools,
  and also improves internal code quality. **All old package state files are no longer readable by Aura.**
  - The `"time"` field in these files is now a Haskell `ZonedTime`.
- Various CLI flag changes:
  - `--auradebug` is now just `--debug`, matching Pacman.
  - `--aurignore` is now just `--ignore`, matching Pacman.
  - `-Aw` has been removed.
  - `-y` no longer works with `-A`. Perform an `-Sy` ahead of time instead.
  - `-O` no longer accepts arguments to adopt packages, it only displays current
    orphans. Use `-O --adopt` instead for the old behaviour.
  - `-Ccc` is now `-C --notsaved`.
- Help messages (`-h`) are no longer localised.
- Support for `powerpill` removed.
- Support for `customizepkg` removed.

### Bug Fixes

- Aura no longer returns an exit code of 1 if no packages are available to upgrade.
- `-Aq` no longer fails at the package installation step.
- Ctrl+C at certain moments no longer preserves the Pacman lock file.
- `makepkg` output is no longer coloured green.

## 1.4.0

- _Dependency resolution vastly improved._ We removed the Bash parser that used
  to poorly handle the bulk of this.
- Chinese translations thanks to Kai Zhang.
- `-M` operator and associated code fully removed.

## 1.3.9

- Updated Swedish translations
- Disabled `-M` operator due to the `abs` tool being deprecated by Arch Linux

## 1.3.8

- Fixed behaviour of `-B` flags. For restoring of saved states, use the long
  form: `aura -B --restore`. Cache backups also need to take their long form: `aura -C --backup`.
- Fixed handling of language flags. Thanks to Doug Patti!

## 1.3.5

- Aura now uses version 5 of the `aur` package, to fix a critial bug
- Updated Spanish and Polish

## 1.3.4

  will now be prompted.
- Man page updated.
- Dependencies updated.

## 1.3.0.1

- (Bug fix) Tarballs are now downloaded from a URL provided by the RPC.

## 1.3.0.0

- Last major version of Aura 1! We have entered the design phase for Aura 2,
  the implementation of which will transform Aura into a multi-distro
  package management platform.
- Aura 1 itself has entered "legacy" mode. The only releases to be made
  on Aura 1 after this will be of `1.3.0.x`. You'll likely never see
  `1.3.1.x`.
- Befitting a major release, we have:

  - New AUR interaction layer via the `aur` package. This fixes nasty
    "AUR lookup failed" errors.
  - `http-conduit` dropped for `wreq`, which is much easier to use.
  - Better version number parsing/comparison on installation/upgrading.
  - Package state backups have had their format changed. This BREAKS _all_
    previously saved states. Please delete your old ones!
  - Implemented extended `--needed` functionality for the AUR side of Aura.
    AUR packages won't build if they're already installed.
  - Indonesian translations!
  - Other updated translations.

    - Include completion for all pacman options
    - Directory or file completion for some common options
- Use `--dryrun` with `-A` and `-M` install options to test everything
  up until actual building would occur (dependency checks, etc.)

  and don't crash aura.

  `depends` field in PKGBUILD. Makedepends can usually be ignored
