Shelly v3.1.3 has been released, introducing shellystrap, a new helper that enables isolated package builds to operate within systemd-nspawn namespaces without relying on external pacstrap. This update also includes features such as per-AppImage environment variables, parallel downloads scaling up to 255, and fixes for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH consistency and multi-PGP signature verification. Users can now manage their storage more effectively with a new command for AUR cache cleanup and configure weekly cron schedules for update checks. The release is available through CachyOS, the AUR, and can be built from source using Zig 0.16.0
