Shelly ALPM v3.0.3 was released today, marking the end of a rapid stabilization phase that included approximately 35 merged pull requests. The new version, built entirely in Zig, eliminates the previous .NET runtime dependency and adds features such as experimental aarch64 support, UI hotkeys, and a redesigned transaction page. This release focuses on stabilization rather than new features, with improvements in cache management and bug fixes, while maintaining a modular structure that allows users to skip the Flatpak backend if not needed. Community feedback has mostly been positive, and Shelly can be installed by Arch users via AUR or directly from GitHub releases

Shelly ALPM v3.0.3 Ships Today, Capping Off Rapid Post-Rewrite Push

Shelly ALPM v3.0.3 shipped this morning, capping off a rapid stabilization sprint with roughly 35 merged pull requests on the v3.x line. Built entirely in Zig, the package manager links directly to Arch's libalpm without wrapping pacman, eliminating the .NET runtime dependency that defined the previous v2.x releases. The maintenance update adds experimental aarch64 support, a redesigned transaction page, UI hotkeys, and tighter Flatpak backend separation for users who prefer a modular setup.
