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-twilight-avx2-bin can no longer be updated, and all updates will continue on zen-twilight-bin
this package is broken, doesn't load any pages, just shows a blank page with logo as background, and an address bar at the bottom left, that seems to load pages, but again are not displayed.
oh, btw, i wasn’t talking about the twilight build. if there was a git package of the dev branch, that’d be nice. but as you said (based on the dev), it takes time to build from source, so no worries. thanks for replying!
Twilight is technically not a -git package. Sure, it releases nightly like most git packages, but its based on the twilight release, not the newest version of the master branch.
A git package requires building from source, which this does not do. Building from source also apparently takes a very long time (according to the devs).
wouldn’t it be better if there was a git package?
Added a SKIP to the checksum for the source tar. Unsure why it changes so often without the release version changing. But due to its unstable nature I think its understandable to skip that checksum.
The rest of the files still get checked.
getting a mismatched checksum error on install:
