Shelly ALPM v3.0.4 has been released, introducing its first dedicated terminal user interface, a redesigned unified search flow, and several improvements for Flatpak users. This update follows a rapid release schedule, with six updates in two weeks after a major rewrite that eliminated the .NET runtime in favor of Zig. The new terminal interface features multi-tab navigation, an embedded sudo prompt, and a streamlined upgrade selection workflow, catering to the needs of Arch power users. Additionally, the update brings enhanced search capabilities across various repositories and Flatpak, and improvements like end-of-life detection for abandoned Flatpak apps, while maintaining a direct link to libalpm for improved performance

Shelly ALPM v3.0.4 Adds Terminal UI and Flatpak Improvements in Rapid Arch Update

Shelly ALPM v3.0.4 shipped today, introducing the project's first dedicated terminal interface alongside a completely redesigned unified search flow for the AUR, official repositories, and Flatpak. The drop arrives just five days after v3.0.3, continuing a breakneck six-release cadence in two weeks following the July 29 Zig rewrite that completely eliminated the .NET runtime. Flatpak users get end-of-life detection, remote branch resolution, and a cleaner uninstall workflow, while polished shell completions and new CLI man pages target terminal power users who prefer direct libalpm integration. The update is live now for CachyOS via sudo pacman -S shelly and is also available through the AUR or as standalone tarballs on GitHub.
