As of Beta build 1.0.2-b.4, zen no longer provides an avx2 optimized build. If you are using this package (zen-browser-bin), there is nothing you need to do, but if you are using zen-browser-avx2-bin, then it is recommended you install this package, and select yes when asked if you'd like to remove the conflicting avx2 package. A merge request has also been put in for the avx2 package.

@brockstar I'd try doing a clean build. If you have further issues reach out to me on Discord

I had installed zen-broser-avx2-bin and when I try to install this package it says this. I have done an update of repositories and so on before trying to install

As of Beta build 1.0.2-b.4, the optimized "avx2" version of zen is no longer built/provided. More info can be found here: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/wiki/Why-have-optimized-builds-been-removed%3F

Because of this, zen-browser-avx2-bin can no longer be updated, and all updates will continue on zen-browser-bin

@Axenide, I think you already noticed they rolled back a19 as a22 because of too many bugs?

Axenide commented on 2024-11-28 15:48 (UTC)

Version 1.0.1-a.21 is out, please update!

Will be skipping 20 until the dev advises that it's safe to update: https://www.reddit.com/r/zen_browser/s/gpT7AFAWOQ
