Oops, forgot to update pkgver in .SRCINFO. I made a new PR.

Cool, thanks. Merged it.

I made a pull request for 6.1.0 on Codeberg.

If you want to help please send your edits at codeberg instead of aur comments (see pinned comment)

Can you please add keyword "chat" somewhere in description, so this package can be found by searching "simplex chat"? Currently such query shows only cli versions

I'm having a bit of a problem with this. When I try to install it following the manual process with makepkg, I end up with

==> Starting package()...
- Extracting appimage
-- Set execution permissions
-- Extracting icon
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: simplex-desktop-appimage-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
simplex-desktop-appimage - exit status 4

I initially tried with Yay but I get a very similar result with makepkg -s

This occurred after having to purge the application using yay -Rnq as I wanted a completely fresh install from scratch.

I would have tried the git version, but that seems to be out of date.

Fuse2 is installed, as is base-devel, these were one of the first things I checked.
