Yay 13.1: faster installations and upgrades, better search

Yay 13.1 lands for Arch Linux with faster dependency resolution, improved multi-term package searches, Lua scripting options for search hooks, and fixes for.SRCINFO metadata handling and ALPM lock cleanups.


Yay now calculates more quickly what other programs an application needs to run, so the installation and upgrade process can be completed faster.

Packet search processes data more efficiently and gives better results, especially when the search includes many words.

Version 13.1 favors program replacements from the official repositories over corresponding upgrades from community repositories. Also, when a package name exactly matches the search, Yay follows the order of repositories specified by the user in the pacman configuration.
