Keep up without reading release notes

1 Watch a question

Ask what you want your system to do. The feed gets an entry when any tool adds, fixes or changes something that answers it, including tools you have never heard of.

2 Your tools

Tick the tools you run. You get one feed for all of them: new things you can do, and what to change before upgrading. "Improved" alone never shows up.

3 Before you upgrade, in your terminal

The canido command reads your pending updates and prints what each one needs from you, before you upgrade. It runs on its own as a pacman hook, and as a Waybar module with the count in your bar.

Arch Linux and Arch-based systems (Omarchy, EndeavourOS, Manjaro, CachyOS) for now: it reads pending updates from pacman. On other Linux systems and macOS it installs, but only looks up one package at a time (canido notes hyprlock 0.9.4 0.9.6). Homebrew, apt, dnf and Flatpak are planned.

$ canido
hyprlock 0.9.4 → 0.9.6  https://canido.dev/p/hyprwm/hyprlock
  Before you upgrade
    • Configs with general:grace: the option is gone; pass --grace on the command line. [v0.9.0]
  New
    • Click or tap a label, image or shape on the lock screen to run a command. [v0.9.0]

Add -s -- --hook after sh to install the pacman hook too. Source, other ways to install and the Waybar module: github.com/iluxav/canido-cli. The data behind it is public: https://canido.dev/api/v1/upgrades?pkg=hyprlock:0.9.4:0.9.6
