MangoWC 0.18.4 shipped today with a terse one-line changelog sitting behind 11 commits that touch 26 files.

The project, which has grown to around 3,900 GitHub stars, also maintains an explicit policy that rejects AI-generated pull requests even as it packages for a wide range of Linux distributions.
