Release v0.5.1

What's New

🎉 Artix Linux Support

Pacsea now fully supports Artix Linux! You can now use Pacsea on Artix systems with full repository filtering and mirror management. The app will automatically detect Artix and use the appropriate tools for managing your packages.

🌍 Hungarian Language Support

Hungarian speakers can now use Pacsea in their native language! The interface has been fully translated to Hungarian (hu-HU), with ongoing improvements and refinements to ensure the best possible experience for Hungarian users.

⚡ Performance & Stability Improvements

• Faster package dependency resolution
• Improved preflight modal that opens instantly without blocking the interface
• Better handling of offline scenarios with cached package information
• Enhanced error messages and user feedback

🔄 Package Update Availability

Pacsea now automatically checks for available package updates in the background! A new "Updates available" button appears at the top of the interface showing how many packages have updates ready. Click the button to view a detailed list of all available updates, showing both your current version and the new version for each package. The update list includes both official repository packages and AUR packages, making it easy to see what's ready to update at a glance.
