Unable to update if the GitHub doesn't have the release. Please check the releases page on GitHub instead of the change log on the zen website before flagging the package. Thank you

Thank you everyone for the kind remarks! I will try my best to update the package as fast as I can, I am currently in the process of moving so it may be a bit more delayed than usual. Thank you for understanding!

@Larvey, ok, sorry, I've mistaken -bin and non bin on me system.

@rafnov If packages have a -bin and a non -bin option, then the -bin will come precompiled and the non -bin will have to be compiled on your machine. With large packages like a browser, this will likely take a considerable amount of time and use a lot of CPU resources (It would take my i9 13900k over an hour to compile.) I would recommend sticking with the binary package in this case.

What's difference zen-browser vs zen-browser-bin?

Once again requiring a clean install with 1.11b. - Paru was failing with validity checks. deleting ~/.cache/paru/clone/zen-browser-bin allowed it to pass. ymmv

Larvey commented on 2025-03-19 15:02 (UTC)

Due to the fact that 1.10b has re-released with fixes. If you have previously updated to 1.10b you most likely will be getting a validity check error. You will need to run a clean build so it can delete the old 1.10b that is outdated.

It's back now and they announced it on their twitter so I would assume it's safe
