Note that VCS packages like this one shouldn't get mere version bumps. From the Wiki:

VCS packages are not considered out of date when the pkgver changes; do not flag them as the maintainer will merely unflag the package and ignore you. AUR maintainers should not commit mere pkgver bumps.

@Arc thanks for the reminder! Version is bumped to latest now

This seems to be way out of date. The latest version on GitHub is v0.3.4, which was released on Apr 21, 2025 (https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/releases/tag/v0.3.4).

@kIERO That might be just related to installing and using go - this package only contains the go-chromecast binary and license file but I also have a go folder in my home folder from setting up my go environment

This package created a folder named "go" in my home directory. This isn't supposed to happen right?

would you mind updating the pkgver function to comply with the pkgver guidelines for VCS packages? suggestion:
