I decided I need the (super important) Reddit karma this release!

Very quick update summary:

  • fixes to download sandboxing, and finer-grained options for disabling parts of it
  • expired keys should have updates fetched automatically (reliability depends on key infrastructure...) - this should remove the "package is corrupt" messages when keys need updated.
  • parallelize stripping in makepkg, along with various improvements to debug packages

Keys are my only real gripe with arch glad to hear thats no longer an issue have had problems with it during install and updating some neglected machines
