# Changelog

## [`7.6.1` (2026-08-11)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.6.0...v7.6.1)

- [mpm] Fix `upgrade <packages>` and `remove` dying on an unhandled `CLIError` traceback when any selected manager's installed-package query failed. The manager is now skipped with a warning, and the packages the other managers carry are still acted on.
- [mpm] Count a manager whose failed command was raised to its caller in the end-of-run error summary, the serialized `errors` payload and the `✓`/`✗` trail. One reporting `Could not list installed packages.` was previously scored `✓`.
- [bar-plugin] Fix the `uv` launch candidate silently re-locking whatever project the plugin's working directory landed in: it now runs frozen, pinned to the folder its lockfile was found in.
- [mpm] Fix the Brewfile export swallowing every failure of a manager's installed-package listing: only CLI errors are now tolerated, and unexpected crashes propagate.
- [mpm] Fix the readme's six standalone-binary download links and the self-installation walkthrough's commands, which pointed at `mpm-<platform>.<ext>` asset names no release has published since `6.1.1`. They now target the unversioned `meta-package-manager-<platform>.<ext>` aliases attached to every release since `7.4.0`.
- [mpm] Fix the configuration documentation claiming the `--exclude` parameter is advertised in the help message, where it is hidden like the `--manager` parameter documented beside it.
- [pkg] Fix the `pkg(8)` and `ports(7)` man-page references rendering as broken markup on the manager's documentation page.
- [mpm] Give ZeroBrew its own tab in the installation methods.

## [`7.6.0` (2026-08-10)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.5.0...v7.6.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.6.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.6.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.6.0).

- [vim-pack] Add Neovim's built-in `vim.pack` plugin manager (Neovim `0.12` and above) with installed, install, remove and upgrade support. Plugins are keyed on their source URL, and each operation is a Lua one-liner run by a `--clean --headless` Neovim.
- [zinit] Add the Zinit Zsh plugin manager with installed, install, remove and upgrade support. Zsh is the CLI mpm executes, and the plugin inventory is read from an interactive shell since Zinit tracks plugins in state the user's `.zshrc` populates.
- [mpm] Show each manager's brand mark on its documentation page and in the manager index, from a new `logo` attribute naming an SVG vendored under `docs/assets/managers/`. 54 of the 75 managers carry one; the rest keep the default package glyph. Marks are inlined so they follow the light and dark themes.
- [mpm] Close each manager's documentation page on a changelog of its own: every changelog entry scoped to that manager, grouped by the release that shipped it, newest first.
- [mpm] Add to each manager's infobox an *Issues and PRs* badge carrying its GitHub label, in the label's own color, linking to every issue and pull request filed under it. Managers sharing an ecosystem share one label, hence one search.
- [mpm] Move how `mpm` invokes each tool into its infobox: CLI names, extra search paths, the arguments and environment forced on every call, and the call timeout. The *How `mpm` drives* section they came from is reduced to the version probe and moved next to the reference traces. The tracker badge and the source file close the box.
- [mpm] Turn every URL of the manager descriptions into a proper link: bare URLs were rendering as dead text on the manager pages and in the API documentation.
- [mpm] Reconcile the changelog's scope tags against the git history of every manager implementation, followed through the 2016 split of the single-file plugin, the move into a dedicated folder and the later conversions to bundled definitions. 13 entries covering `mpm`'s own packaging, installation documentation or CI were rescoped to `[mpm]`, where that work already sits; 6 manager fixes that had never been logged were added; the `apt` `--yes` and search fixes were extended to `apt-mint`, which inherits both; and the `2.3.0` empty-output fix was split into its general and `gem`-specific halves.
- [mpm] Follow the documentation's own light and dark toggle with the sidebar logo, instead of a single light-only variant that left the wordmark unreadable on the dark theme. Hide the readme banner on the front page, where it duplicated that logo and could not agree with the theme.
- [mpm] Turn the license page into the project's legal sink: it now also carries the trademark notice, the credits for every vendored brand mark, the documentation artwork attributions and a pointer to where dependency licenses live.
- [gnome-shell] Add a GNOME Shell extension (GNOME 46 to 50) mirroring the Xbar/SwiftBar plugin: a top bar indicator lists outdated packages per manager, and every menu action runs `mpm` itself. Addresses [#809](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/809).
- [gnome-shell] Attach the packed extension to every GitHub release as an attested `mpm-gnome-shell-extension.zip` asset, built with `gnome-extensions pack`.
- [bar-plugin] Menu actions run `mpm` itself instead of the manager's native upgrade command, so manager selection, sudo policy, overrides and the cooldown all apply. A manager that cannot enforce an active `cooldown` is now skipped with a warning.
- [mpm] A batch of managers running concurrently reports through a determinate progress bar (`Searching [####----] 3/6 managers`) instead of an indeterminate spinner. Each manager's own CLI call keeps its per-call spinner when it runs alone.
- [mpm] The `✓`/`✗` trail's finisher carries an elapsed time only under `--time`, where it previously always showed one.
- [mpm] The warnings proposing a CLI flag as their remedy now also name the configuration key that makes it stick: `[mpm] require_cooldown_support` for the cooldown skip, and `[mpm] sudo` for the two credential warnings.
- [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from `8.7.0` to `8.8.1`, dropping mpm's own `is_stdout` and `prep_path` helpers for the `click_extra.output` originals and inheriting click-extra's own uncapped `uv-build` requirement.
- [mpm] Rename the `🔌 bar-plugin` GitHub label to `🔌 plugin`, now covering the Xbar/SwiftBar plugin and the GNOME Shell extension alike.
- [mpm] Fix the `🔌 plugin`, `🖥 platform: macOS` and `🖥 platform: Windows` labels never being applied to issues: their keywords are now OR-joined into one case-insensitive pattern instead of all being required at once.
- [mpm] Fix `backup`, `dump` and `sbom` dying on an unhandled `FileNotFoundError` when the output path points into a directory that does not exist yet: missing parent directories are now created.
- [mpm] Fix `guix install --load-path=packaging/guix` failing on unbound `python-pytest` and `python-xmltodict`, whose modules were not imported, and align the definition with the upstream Guix stanza.
- [mpm] Fix `nix-env --file packaging/nix` failing its runtime-dependency check on the stale `click-extra` `8.6.2` and `extra-platforms` `13.5.1` pins, bumping them to `8.8.1` and `13.6.0` to satisfy mpm `7.5.0`'s raised floors.
- [mpm] Add an *Unsupported managers* page documenting which tools are deliberately excluded and why, and what a manager must expose to be wrappable.
- [mpm] Document that `--cooldown` replaces a stricter release-age policy already configured natively, instead of tightening it.
- [mpm] Document the retraction path behind each package registry (yank, unpublish, relabel, index revert, flag only) and the per-version publish-date metadata it exposes, since a cooldown only protects where a compromised release can actually be withdrawn. Without one the gate can even prefer a malicious version over the fix that superseded it. Every pool manager is mapped to its registry, and its cooldown documentation page now closes on that registry's row.
- [gnome-shell] Lint the extension and its gjs test runner with ESLint against GNOME Shell's own [`eslint-config-gnome`](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/javascript/eslint-config-gnome) ruleset, in a new `eslint` job installing the stack behind a 7-day `npm --min-release-age` cooldown.
- [mpm] Drop the Codecov integration, its coverage badge and the XML report artifacts that fed it. Coverage is now gated in CI by the `[tool.coverage] report.fail_under` ratchet, cleared by the parallel non-destructive run; the bar-plugin and destructive slices opt out with `--cov-fail-under=0`.
- [mpm] Run the project-metadata and GNOME Shell extension invariant tests on a single runner instead of on every matrix cell, behind a new `once` pytest marker and a `once-tests` job. Neither module imports package code, so the coverage floor is unaffected.
- [mpm] Widen the test workflow's trigger to `changelog.md`, `readme.md`, `docs/**` and `gnome-shell/**`. The suite holds all four to byte-identity with their generators, but an edit to any of them never ran the test guarding it.
- [mpm] Declare the supply-chain cooldown window on the GNOME Shell extension and manager-logo workflows, and an explicit zero-length window on the distributor workflow, whose subject is the freshly published artifact.
- [mpm] Drop the full Homebrew cask tap clone and the `HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API` override from the test matrix, both left behind by a cask-version-checkout test that no longer exists.
- [mpm] Fix the test matrix's drift guard silently skipping for a week after every upstream toolkit bump: it resolved `repomatic` without the per-package cooldown exemption, so the workflow's release-age window left the pinned version unresolvable and the failed run landed in the test's skip branch.
- [mpm] Scope the `docs` dependency group to Python `3.14` and above, the only interpreter that ever renders a page. Its members drop their marker-split floors for flat ones, and the lockfile stops carrying a second, older resolution of the documentation toolchain (`myst-parser`, `sphinx`, `docutils`, `markdown-it-py`, `sphinx-autodoc-typehints`, `sphinx-design`) for interpreters that never build the site.

## [`7.5.0` (2026-08-03)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.4.1...v7.5.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.5.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.5.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.5.0).

- [volta] Add Volta package manager (`installed`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`), flagged unmaintained since its November 2025 retirement in favor of `mise`. `pkg:npm/` purls now also resolve to it. Addresses [#1995](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1995).
- [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from `8.6.1` to `8.7.0`, scoping mpm's strict-config check to its own `pyproject.toml` section and forcing telemetry off on a truthy `DO_NOT_TRACK`.
- [mpm] Raise the extra-platforms floor from `13.5.1` to `13.6.0`, whose new AlmaLinux detection stops the spurious unrecognized-platform warning `mpm` printed on AlmaLinux hosts.
- [mpm] Bump the in-repo Alpine, Guix, MacPorts and Nix packaging specs to build from `7.4.1`, switching Alpine to the PyPI sdist instead of the GitHub tag tarball.
- [snap] Fix `snap remove` failing with `error: unknown flag 'color'` on recent snapd by no longer appending `--color=never`, which `remove` does not accept.
- [mpm] Add `favicon.svg` and `banner-social.svg` (light/dark PNG exports) as the Sphinx browser-tab icon and OpenGraph image, and switch the readme banner to a dark-mode-aware `<picture>` element.
- [mpm] Refresh the readme's manager Sankey diagram and operation matrix.

## [`7.4.1` (2026-07-28)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.4.0...v7.4.1)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.4.1` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.4.1/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.4.1).

- [bar-plugin] Recolor the version-diff suffixes to match the SwiftBar menu appearance (from `OS_APPEARANCE`): the adaptive system red and green lose contrast on recent macOS's translucent menus, so a light menu darkens both and a dark menu brightens the green.
- [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from `8.6` to `8.6.1` and the extra-platforms floor from `13.1` to `13.5.1`.
- [mpm] Drop the now-upstreamed Nix bar-plugin backport patch and bump the in-repo Alpine, Guix, MacPorts and Nix packaging specs to build from `7.4.0`.
- [mpm] Bump the in-repo Alpine, MacPorts and Nix packaging specs to build against click-extra `8.6.2` and extra-platforms `13.5.1`, and correct the Alpine package license metadata from `GPL-2.0-or-later` to `Apache-2.0`.
- [mpm] The GitHub issue and PR content-labeller no longer derives `📦 manager:` labels from bare manager IDs, so a pasted `mpm` trace no longer tags an issue with every installed manager; only curated ecosystem keywords a human types now match.
- [cpan] Document why `cpan` reports Perl's core modules as outdated while `upgrade --all` never upgrades them: their versions are tied to the running Perl, cleared only by a writable Perl earlier on `PATH`. Addresses [#1983](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1983).
- [gem] Document that on recent macOS the system Ruby's bundled gems surface as outdated yet cannot be upgraded in place, and point to running mpm against a writable Ruby earlier on `PATH` as the fix.

## [`7.4.0` (2026-07-25)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.3.0...v7.4.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.4.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.4.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.4.0).

- [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from `8.4.0` to `8.6.0`, the release shipping the `OperationTrail` batch `✓`/`✗` trail upstreamed from mpm's own dispatch layer, which mpm now consumes from the published package instead of a git checkout.
- [mpm] The Python and click-extra compatibility tables of the documentation read newest-first on both axes, following click-extra `8.6.0`'s `{matrix}` ordering defaults: the most recent compatibility information sits in the upper-left corner.
- [mpm] Bump the packaging pins of click-extra to `8.6.0` and the Nix pin of extra-platforms to `13.3.1` across the Nix, MacPorts and Alpine overlays, to match mpm's dependency floors.
- **Breaking:** [mpm] Remove the `PackageManager.query_parts` class method: `Package.query_parts` is the canonical query tokenizer.
- **Breaking:** [mpm] The SBOM `stats()` dictionaries drop the `components_in_document` (CycloneDX) and `relationships_total` (SPDX) keys, which no consumer read.
- **Breaking:** [mpm] Rename the manager `deprecated` flag to `unmaintained` and broaden it to cover abandoned or inactive upstreams (archived, years without a release, formally superseded, or a discontinued platform), not just officially retired projects. The `deprecation_url` attribute becomes an `unmaintained_message` markdown block rendered into the documentation, and the `[mpm.managers.<id>]` config override key `deprecated` is likewise renamed to `unmaintained`.
- [mpm] Flag `apt-cyg`, `pacaur` and `swupd` as unmaintained, joining `apm`: their upstreams are archived, abandoned or belong to a discontinued platform, so they are hidden from default selection and dropped from the test matrices. Name them explicitly or pass `--all-managers` to still drive them.
- [mpm] Add a `maintenance_note` attribute that renders a note admonition atop a manager's documentation page for still-maintained but slowing or superseded upstreams worth watching (`cave`, `dnf`, `fink`, `sorcery`, `stew`, `sun-tools`, `tazpkg`, `yarn`, `yum`).
- [mpm] Drop the unmaintained `pacapt`, `sysget` and `whohas` tools from the benchmark comparison and add a note pointing their users to `mpm` as an actively-maintained replacement covering the same cross-manager operations.
- [mpm] Package managers gain shared `parse_regex_lines` and `parse_json_items` engines on the base class: configuration-defined operations and built-in managers now parse their listings through the same code path.
- [mpm] The action commands (`install`, `remove`, `upgrade`, `restore`) name failed packages uniformly as `id@version` in their end-of-run `critical:` summary, instead of a mix of raw purls and bare IDs.
- [mpm] `doctor` singularizes its end-of-run summary when a single manager reports problems.
- [mpm] `dump --merge` and `dump --update-version` no longer misreport an existing target file as about to be overwritten, and only disclose the inert `--overwrite` flag when it was actually passed.
- [brew,cask] `cleanup` invokes the cache scrub with the long-form `--scrub` flag.
- [mpm] Add a `--plan`/`-p` option that prints the exact package-manager commands each state-changing operation would run, without running them. Read-only queries (`installed`, `outdated`, `search`) still execute, so `install`, `remove` and `upgrade --all` resolve to the commands they would actually run; the plan prints to stdout, one copy-pasteable command per line.
- [mpm] Add an `--orphans` option to `remove` that also drops the dependencies the package alone pulled in, mapped to each manager's native scoped cascade verb (`apt remove --auto-remove`, `pacman --remove --recursive`, `dnf autoremove`, `xbps-remove --recursive`, `zypper remove --clean-deps`). Managers with no such verb remove the package only. `mpm` builds no dependency graph: it delegates the reverse-dependency reasoning to the manager.
- [mpm] `cleanup` decomposes into cumulative categories, each with a two-sided flag pair: `--orphans/--skip-orphans` (system-wide orphan sweep: `apt autoremove`, `brew autoremove`, `flatpak uninstall --unused`), `--cache/--skip-cache` (caches, downloads and left-over artifacts, the category a monolithic `cleanup` amounts to) and `--repair/--skip-repair` (local state verification, like `flatpak repair`). Positive flags narrow the run to the listed categories, skip flags subtract them, and a plain `cleanup` runs the cache and repair categories only: the orphan sweep is the one category removing packages, so it stays strictly behind `--orphans`, uniformly across managers, just as `remove` keeps its dependency cascade behind the same flag. The per-manager narration and the `✓`/`✗` trail name the categories dispatched to each manager (`✓ brew (cache)`). A manager with no native sweep verb but a native orphan listing gets the sweep synthesized from its `orphans` query, removing the listed orphans one by one until none are left (the in-process equivalent of Arch's `pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)` idiom, covering `pacman`, its AUR helpers and `zypper`); the synthesized sweep only engages on an explicit `--orphans`, so a skip flag can never remove packages a plain `cleanup` would have left alone.
- [mpm] Add an `orphans` subcommand listing the packages installed as dependencies that nothing requires anymore, without removing them. Each manager reports through its native read-only query (`pacman --query --deps --unrequired`, `brew autoremove --dry-run`, `dnf repoquery --unneeded`, `zypper packages --unneeded`, `pkg autoremove --dry-run`, `apt autoremove --simulate`, `xbps-query --list-orphans`, `emerge --depclean --pretend`, `cave purge` in its default pretend mode, `pkg_delete -a -n`). Supports the same query filtering, table projection and serialization as `installed`.
- [mpm] Add a `doctor` subcommand (aliases `check` and `diagnose`) running each manager's native self-diagnosis (`brew doctor`, `pip check`, `pacman --database --check`, `npm doctor`, `dnf check`, `gem check`, `composer diagnose`, `mise doctor`, `apt-get check`, `pkg check --checksums`, `xbps-pkgdb --all`, `flatpak repair --dry-run`, `scoop checkup`, `port diagnose`, `tlmgr check all`). Read-only: health is read from each command's exit code, the report (merging `<stdout>` and `<stderr>`) is relayed verbatim, and the run exits non-zero when any manager reports problems, so it can gate a CI job (`-0`/`--zero-exit` opts out).
- [mpm] Configuration-defined managers can declare `remove_orphan`, `cleanup_orphan`, `cleanup_cache`, `cleanup_repair`, `doctor` and `orphans` operations, wiring them to `remove --orphans`, the `cleanup` category flags and the `orphans` subcommand.
- **Breaking:** [mpm] `cleanup` is no longer an operation managers define: every manager now declares cleanup *category* methods only (`cleanup_orphan`, `cleanup_cache`, `cleanup_repair`), and `PackageManager.cleanup()` composes the natively implemented ones. Monolithic cleanups across the pool were reclassified as `cleanup_cache`, and a configuration-defined manager declaring the old `cleanup` operation is rejected with an error naming the category keys.
- [cave,pkg-tools] Their cleanup commands, both orphan sweeps (`cave purge`, `pkg_delete -a`), are re-declared as `cleanup_orphan`: `cleanup --orphans` now reaches them and `cleanup --cache` leaves them alone.
- [apt,apt-mint,brew,cask,cave,dnf,dnf5,emerge,pkg,pkg-tools,xbps,yum] Plain `cleanup` no longer removes orphaned packages: their native sweeps moved behind `cleanup --orphans`. This also stops `emerge`'s cleanup from triggering its pre-depclean world upgrade unless `--orphans` is given.
- [emerge] The `cleanup` steps split into `cleanup_orphan` (the safety upgrade plus `--depclean`) and `cleanup_cache` (`eclean distfiles`), giving `emerge` native `cleanup --orphans` support.
- [uv] `cleanup` skips uv's cache commands when `mpm` itself was launched by `uv run` or `uvx`, whose parent process locks the cache for as long as `mpm` lives: each `uv cache` command would otherwise wait on its own ancestor for `UV_LOCK_TIMEOUT` (300 seconds by default) and fail, stalling the cleanup for ten minutes.
- [dnf,dnf5,xbps,yum] `remove` no longer cascades to orphaned dependencies by default: a plain removal keeps them. Use the new `remove --orphans` to restore the previous behavior.
- [mpm] Every supported package manager gets a dedicated documentation page detailing its platforms, operations and backfilled capabilities, CLI invocation and version probe, escalation and cooldown behaviors, purl types, selection and configuration examples and the captured native outputs its parsers were written against, all rendered live from the manager declarations at Sphinx build time. A new hub page indexes the 72 pages, and manager IDs in the readme's operation matrix, the benchmark table and the augmentations table now link to them.
- [mpm] Each per-manager documentation page opens with a "What `mpm` adds to `<id>`" section, pitched at a reader who already knows the native tool: the capabilities `mpm` backfills for that manager (synthesized `upgrade --all`, orphan sweep, `--exact`/`--extended` search), the cross-manager reach naming its purl-ecosystem neighbors, and the universal augmentations. Derived live from the capability declarations, so it describes only what `mpm` does and never overstates a native limitation.
- [winget] Documentation samples use the conventional `> ` PowerShell prompt instead of `PS C:\Users\kev>`, reconnecting them to the corpus harvester: the documented commands are now validated against the constructed ones, the manager page gains its full Rosetta table and a clean version transcript, and the reference traces render under proper `pwsh-session` fences. The full and single-package upgrade samples show the exact `winget update --all` and `winget install` invocations `mpm` runs, and the agreement-prompt and different-install-technology illustrations move to non-fixture `console` fences.
- [mpm] Each per-manager documentation page gains a Rosetta table mapping the manager's own commands (`uv pip list`, `brew install`, `pacman --sync`, …) to their one-to-one `mpm` equivalents, harvested from the operation methods' documented samples, and a recipes section with copy-paste snapshot/restore, SBOM export and CI-health-gate commands. The cooldown section now frames release-age gating as a supply-chain guard, the invocation section explains the forced arguments and environment as CI-friendly defaults, and the reference-traces section notes how the same raw output unifies through `mpm`.
- [mpm] Add a MacPorts Portfile overlay under `packaging/macports`, carrying the port plus the dependency ports missing from the official tree, tested by a new `macports-source` job.
- [mpm] Meta Package Manager is now [available in MacPorts](https://ports.macports.org/port/meta-package-manager/) upstream, installable with `sudo port install meta-package-manager` and tested by a new `macports` job.
- [macports,pkg,snap] Mutating operations now escalate through `sudo` by default, matching each tool's canonical invocation (`sudo port install`, `sudo pkg install`, `sudo snap install`): MacPorts installs root-owned under `/opt/local`, the FreeBSD `pkg` frontend gains the markers its `ports` sibling already had, and snapd denies state changes from an unprivileged client. Opt out with `--no-sudo` or a per-manager `sudo = false` override. `pkg` passes `IGNORE_OSVERSION` as a command-line option now, which survives the `sudo` environment reset where the environment variable would be stripped.
- [cpan,gem] The write operations carry dormant privileged markers like `pip` and `npm`: `--sudo` or a per-manager `sudo = true` override escalates installs into a system Perl or Ruby. Nothing escalates by default.
- [fwupd] Mutating operations no longer escalate through `sudo`, aligning fwupd with the other polkit-native daemon clients (`flatpak`, `pkcon`): `fwupdmgr` hands firmware writes to the `fwupd` daemon over D-Bus, which authorizes them through polkit. Under a strict polkit policy, unattended mutations need a rule permitting them without interactive authentication, or an `mpm` run as root.
- [pacstall,topgrade] Marked as internal escalators (`internal_sudo`): pacstall re-execs itself through `sudo pacstall` and topgrade runs each privileged step through its own `sudo`, so `mpm` never wraps them, keeps a warm credential cache alive for their mid-run escalations, and watches for hidden password prompts.
- [pacman] `sync` now escalates through `sudo` like its other write commands: refreshing the sync databases writes root-owned state.
- [dnf,dnf5] `cleanup --cache` now escalates through `sudo`: `dnf clean all` clears the root-owned package cache.
- [mpm] Refresh the benchmark page operations table: new `List orphaned dependencies` row, the autoremove row re-scoped to the `remove --orphans` cascade, and `mpm`'s new `orphans` and `doctor` capabilities credited. Every competitor column is re-audited at its current release (`topgrade` `17.8.0`, `pacaptr` `0.23.1`, `brew` `6.0.12`): capabilities only reachable bundled inside another operation are downgraded to 🟡, Homebrew's concurrent-execution cell flips to supported (`brew bundle install --jobs` now installs across backends in parallel), and the negative-evidence links are re-verified, two of them pinned to the maintainer's exact comment.
- [mpm] Add an Alpine Linux APKBUILD overlay under `packaging/alpine`, carrying the package plus the 4 dependency packages missing from the official aports tree, tested by a new `apk-source` job.
- [mpm] Regroup all downstream packaging knowledge on a new `packaging.md` documentation page: the test-suite wiring for distribution packagers, the dependency graph, the click-extra compatibility matrix, and a per-channel catalog with the build-from-spec instructions previously spread across the install page tabs. The install page now targets end users only, and the binaries catalog moves to the development section of the documentation.
- [mpm] Ship `tests/`, `docs/` and the `.github/` workflow files in the PyPI sdist (kept out of the wheel), so distribution packagers can build and run the suite straight from the sdist instead of fetching a GitHub tag tarball.
- [mpm] Split the test suite with a new `integration` marker: writable-`$HOME` builders run the hermetic layer with `pytest -m "not integration"` instead of a per-module ignore list. Repo-maintenance sync guards skip outside a git checkout, and the SBOM test modules skip when their optional extras are absent, so a lean build no longer needs to ignore them.
- **Breaking:** [mpm] Rename the `--show-params` introspection flag to `--params`, and its environment variable from `MPM_SHOW_PARAMS` to `MPM_PARAMS`, following click-extra's own rename.
- [mpm] Manager invocations now run in their own POSIX session and process group: a timeout or Ctrl+C kills the whole process tree, so a wedged manager CLI leaves no orphaned grandchildren behind. The mutating call of an internal escalator on a cold `sudo` credential cache is the exception: it keeps the terminal, leaving its password prompt answerable.
- [mpm] `managers` now honors the global `--timeout` for the version probes feeding its table: its selection bypassed the option plumbing, so the probes always ran at the 120-second read-only default and a wedged binary held its row for that long regardless of the option.
- [mpm] The benchmark manager-support table and the augmentations table keep a generated copy in their Markdown sources, between `<!-- mirror -->` markers below their `python:render` blocks: reviewable in raw diffs and rendered on GitHub, refreshed by `click-extra refresh-directives`, while Sphinx builds keep rendering the live output.
- [mpm] Convert every docstring and comment of the code base from reStructuredText to MyST markdown, rendered through click-extra's `myst_docstrings` Sphinx extension, which converts them back to reST at build time so autodoc keeps working. The CLI-session fixtures documented in manager docstrings now live in ```` ```{code-block} shell-session ```` fences, the corpus harvester reads the fence form, and the manager documentation pages inline the MyST class docstrings directly instead of wrapping them in an `{eval-rst}` block.
- [mpm] The binaries download table of the install page is now generated from the binaries catalog at Sphinx build time, restoring working links after binary assets gained versioned filenames.
- [bar-plugin] Fix a crash when probing an `mpm` invocation whose binary does not exist: the failed probe now reports the error instead of raising `UnboundLocalError`.
- [bar-plugin] Version-diff colors now reach SwiftBar and Xbar: the highlighting introduced in `7.3.0` never rendered in the menu bar, because the plugin captures `mpm outdated --plugin-output` through a pipe, where the automatic color detection stripped every ANSI code. Plugin output now keeps its colors on any output stream, unless colorization is explicitly disabled (`--color=never`, `NO_COLOR`). ANSI codes captured inside relayed error messages are stripped instead, since error lines are marked `ansi=false`. The unchanged-version prefix also moves from bright-black to a theme-neutral xterm-256 mid-gray on menu lines only: SwiftBar maps bright-black to a fixed dark gray, near-invisible on dark-mode menus, while the `mpm outdated` table keeps the terminal-themed bright-black.
- [bar-plugin] An outdated package whose manager provides no single-package upgrade command no longer crashes the rendering: its menu line simply carries no upgrade action.
- [pacaur,paru,yay] The AUR helpers are no longer wrapped in `sudo`: they refuse or break under root (`makepkg` rejects root builds, paru aborts AUR transactions, pacaur aborts its sync operations) and escalate through their own internal `sudo pacman` calls, which `mpm` now tracks with the `internal_sudo` marker (warm credential-cache keepalive, hidden-prompt watchdog). This also lets yay's cooldown environment overlay reach the process, where the `sudo` wrap used to strip it.
- [pkg] `installed` now lists every package registered in the pkg database instead of only explicitly-requested ones: the `%a = 0` automatic-flag filter is dropped, and the query invocation loses the literal quote characters it carried, aligning it with the `ports` invocation reading the same database.
- [mpm] A failed manager command now relays the tail of its captured `<stderr>` (or `<stdout>` when `<stderr>` is empty) as a `warning:` tagged with the manager ID, at the moment of failure and across every operation, instead of keeping it at `DEBUG` only. A successful command's `<stderr>` chatter stays at `DEBUG`, version probes and `doctor` are exempt, and the end-of-run error summary now points at `--verbosity DEBUG` for the full transcript only, no longer as the way to see why a command failed. Closes [#1968](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1968).

## [`7.3.0` (2026-07-17)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.2.0...v7.3.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.3.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.3.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.3.0).

- **Breaking:** [mpm] Move the declarative-manager schema, validation and class factory into the new `meta_package_manager.definitions` module, out of `meta_package_manager.config` (which keeps the loading policy: trust gate, override application, registration passes) and `meta_package_manager.manager` (which keeps the base class only).
- **Breaking:** [mpm] Move the cross-manager fan-out machinery (`collect_from_managers`, `collect_per_package`, `OperationTrail`, the shared-lock families and the jobs policy) into the new `meta_package_manager.dispatch` module, out of `meta_package_manager.execution` (which keeps the single-subprocess engine).
- **Breaking:** [mpm] Move the per-command column registries and the table-projection and serialization helpers into the new `meta_package_manager.tables` module, which also absorbs the `meta_package_manager.sorting` module and its `SortableField` vocabulary.
- **Breaking:** [mpm] `meta_package_manager.sbom` no longer re-exports the SBOM writers: import them from `meta_package_manager.sbom.base`, `meta_package_manager.sbom.spdx` and `meta_package_manager.sbom.cyclonedx`.
- [mpm] Manager definitions gain three schema features: per-refinement `search` argument templates (`exact_args`, `extended_args` and `id_name_only_args`, spliced at their `{marker}` position when the matching `mpm search` flag is active, and advertising native support), a `[N]` list-index suffix on JSON field selectors, and `sudo = true` on query operations for tools that gate even their read-only listings behind root.
- [mpm] Malformed JSON output from a manager's query now logs a warning tagged with the manager ID and yields no packages, instead of crashing the command; built-in managers and config-defined operations share the same `parse_json` implementation.
- [choco] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, the native exact and ID-restricted search switches declared through the new refinement templates.
- [macports] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, the native exact/extended search switches declared through the new refinement templates. The optional description column of its search results is no longer populated.
- [stew] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, its two installed-listing regexes merged into one alternation, with no functional change.
- [zerobrew] Convert from a Python class to a bundled configuration definition, its installed-versions array read through the new `[N]` field selector, with no functional change.
- [mpm] The `--query`, `--exact` and `--overwrite` options of `dump` and `sbom` now share a single definition and help text.
- [mpm] Fix the bar-plugin labeller file rule, whose glob targeted a directory and could never match the plugin's module files.
- [bar-plugin] The `<xbar.version>` header tracks the package version again: it fell out of the version-bump configuration during the `bump-my-version` migration and was stuck at `7.0.0.dev0`.
- [mpm] Sudo priming now probes the credential cache before any prompt: found warm (a prior `sudo --validate`, a `NOPASSWD` rule), it is silently kept alive for the whole run. The password notice names the escalating managers and the subcommand (`apt needs administrator rights to upgrade: enter your password.`), the `sudo` prompt is branded (`[mpm] password for apt:`), and the no-terminal warning names the managers left to fail fast. A host whose `sudo` is missing or cannot be run logs a warning instead of crashing.
- [mpm] Add an `internal_sudo` marker for managers whose CLI runs `sudo` itself mid-run and is never wrapped by `mpm`: `cask` and `fink` adopt it, and manager definitions may set it as a config field. A warm credential cache found at priming time is now kept alive for internal escalators too.
- [mpm] A mutating call of an internal escalator that goes silent for 30 seconds on a terminal, with no warm credential cache, now logs a warning that it may be waiting on a hidden password prompt, quoting its last output line. Addresses [#1938](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1938).
- [mpm] `--verbosity INFO` now discloses every package manager CLI invocation as a reproducible `$`-prompt line, forced environment variables included. Version-detection probes stay at `DEBUG`.
- [mpm] The output of package manager CLIs now streams to `DEBUG` logs live, line by line and tagged with the manager ID, instead of being dumped once the call completes. Closes [#528](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/528).
- [mpm] Streamed CLI output and manager-scoped log lines glue the manager ID into their level prefix (`debug:mas: ...`, `warning:gem: Could not list installed packages.`), making logs grep-able by manager. Closes [#530](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/530).
- [mpm] Disclosed CLI invocations are themed by token family: dim prompt sigil, environment name/value assignment pairs, highlighted binary name (directory plain, in the `$`-prompt and spawn-trace lines), option-styled flags.
- [mpm] `--no-color` now also strips the color of log lines emitted from background threads (streamed subprocess output, concurrent fan-outs).
- [mpm] The capability probe logs one answered `DEBUG` line per manager (`brew implements installed.`) instead of an unanswered question exposing the raw class repr.
- [mpm] Add `-0`/`--zero-exit`: action commands then report per-package failures without gating automation on a non-zero exit code. Usage and configuration errors keep exiting `2`.
- [mpm] Add a `--columns` option to the table-rendering subcommands (`managers`, `installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `which`): a comma-separated list of column IDs restricts and reorders the table, SQL-`SELECT`-style, validated against each command's column registry. `mpm search`'s description column joins the registry: `--description` is now a shorthand for selecting it, and an explicit `--columns` selection wins. Serialized formats keep the full structured payload.
- [mpm] The `mpm managers` table's binary-path highlighting is delegated to click-extra's `highlight_bin_name`, the same renderer as the `$`-prompt and spawn-trace log lines.
- [mpm] Log lines emitted while a progress spinner animates now print on their own line above it, instead of garbling the in-progress frame.
- [mpm] Delegate subprocess spawning, output streaming, timeout enforcement and Ctrl+C child termination to `click-extra`, raising its floor from `8.3.0` to `8.4.0`.
- [mpm] Authenticate the GitHub API release lookups in the Guix, Nix and yay cooldown workflow jobs, which flaked on the anonymous rate limit.
- [mpm] The per-manager table of the augmentations page now renders live at Sphinx build time, derived from the capability declarations in the manager implementations. Drops `steamcmd`'s stale full-`upgrade --all` row.
- [mpm] The PyPI keywords and the labeller file/content rules in `pyproject.toml` are now generated from the manager pool by `docs/docs_update.py`. Every bundled manager gains labeller coverage, definition-file globs are anchored on their full stem, and the `chocotaley` keyword typo is fixed.
- [mpm] Bundled manager definitions now embed their version-probe and parser output samples in a `[samples]` table of their own TOML file; the test suite derives its checks from the shipped files instead of hardcoded per-manager fixtures.
- [bar-plugin] Version differences are now highlighted in the outdated-package menu lines, with the same coloring as `mpm outdated`: common prefix gray, installed suffix red, latest suffix green. Package lines carry `ansi=true` so both SwiftBar and Xbar render the colors.
- [mpm] Delegate `--cooldown` duration parsing and the cross-command `--sort-by` machinery to click-extra, keeping the same per-table sorting semantics. `-s`/`--sort-by` now renders at the end of its option group in help screens.
- [mpm] `mpm which` joins the sortable-table commands instead of ignoring `--sort-by`, its manager column leading the default sort.
- [mpm] `docs/docs_update.py` now renders the `pyproject.toml` label arrays in `pyproject-fmt`'s canonical style, ending the pull-request ping-pong between the `update-docs` and `format-pyproject` autofix jobs. A new test asserts the rewritten sections stay a `pyproject-fmt` fixpoint.
- [mpm] The `dump` and Brewfile provenance headers and the bar-plugin upgrade notice now write the bare package version, dropping their `v` prefix.
- [cask] `upgrade --all` now passes `--greedy` to `brew upgrade` when auto-updating packages are included, matching the `outdated` behavior. Auto-updating casks reported as outdated were never upgraded. Closes [#1940](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1940).
- [pipx] `outdated` now relies on pipx's native `pipx list --outdated` query on pipx `1.16.0` and newer: all venvs are checked in a single call, each by its own backend (pip or uv). Older pipx keeps the previous per-venv pip probes.

## [`7.2.0` (2026-07-09)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.1.0...v7.2.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.2.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.2.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.2.0).

- [mpm] Config-defined managers gain multi-binary support: a per-operation `cli` key runs an operation through a sibling binary, and `version_cli` probes an alternate binary for tool suites exposing no version flag.
- [mpm] Config-defined managers gain privilege support: `sudo = true` marks an operation privileged, the new `default_sudo` field sets the manager-wide default, and both honor the global `--sudo`/`--no-sudo` policy.
- [mpm] Manager definitions gain Brewfile export mappings: the new definition-only `brewfile_entry_type` and `brewfile_skip_warning` fields mirror the class attributes consumed by `mpm dump --brewfile`.
- [mpm] Relax and harden the definition schema: an `installed` query may capture no version, a `search` may omit the `{query}` placeholder and rely on client-side refiltering, and unrecognized `{placeholder}` tokens in operation args are rejected at load time.
- [apt-cyg] Add apt-cyg (Cygwin) package manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `remove` and `sync` support on Windows/Cygwin; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [cave] Add cave (Exherbo's Paludis client) with `installed`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [chromebrew] Add Chromebrew (`crew`) package manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove` and `sync` support on ChromeOS; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [fink] Add Fink package manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support on macOS; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [pkcon] Add PackageKit's console client (`pkcon`) with `installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove` and `sync` support on Linux. Requires PackageKit `>=0.7.0`.
- [pkg-tools] Add OpenBSD's pkg tools (`pkg_add`/`pkg_info`/`pkg_delete`) with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove` and `cleanup` support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [pkgin] Add pkgin (NetBSD pkgsrc) package manager with `installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [slapt-get] Add slapt-get (Slackware) package manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [sorcery] Add Sorcery (Source Mage GNU/Linux) package manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [sun-tools] Add Solaris' SVR4 package tools (`pkginfo`/`pkgrm`) with `installed` and `remove` support: SVR4 packages come from local media, so there is no repository to search, install from or upgrade against.
- [swupd] Add Clear Linux's swupd with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade --all`, `remove` and `cleanup` support, operating on bundles; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [tazpkg] Add TazPkg (SliTaz GNU/Linux) package manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support.
- [tlmgr] Add TeX Live Manager (`tlmgr`) with `installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support, cross-platform; a bundled configuration-defined manager. Requires TeX Live `>=2018`.
- [urpmi] Add urpmi (Mageia and the Mandriva lineage) with `installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync` and `cleanup` support; a bundled configuration-defined manager.
- [mpm] `mpm` is now a strict superset of `pacaptr`, `pacapt`, `sysget` and `whohas`: every package manager those tools support is now wrapped.
- [mpm] Convert the cargo and opkg managers from Python classes to bundled configuration definitions; the optional description column of their search results is no longer populated.
- [mpm] Convert the cpan, steamcmd, topgrade, vscode and vscodium managers from Python classes to bundled configuration definitions, with no functional change.
- [gh-ext] Report installed extensions by their `owner/repo` slug instead of the bare extension name, so the ids returned by `mpm installed` and `mpm backup` feed back into `install`, `remove`, `upgrade` and `restore`.
- [mpm] Require click-extra `8.3` and extra-platforms `13.1` or newer.
- [mpm] Rename the `stats` configuration key to `summary`, matching the `--summary` option; add `sudo`, `jobs` and `network` to the typed configuration schema; stop advertising a flat `500` default for `timeout`, which is resolved per operation.
- [mpm] Render the configuration reference, the CLI reference and the benchmark's manager-support table live at documentation build time, through click-extra's `click:config`, `click:tree` and `python:render` directives; drop `sphinx-click`.
- [mpm] Fix benchmark data: merge the duplicate OpenBSD (`pkg-mgr`/`pkg-tools`), `gh-ext` and `pwsh-gallery` rows; add missing `pkcon`, `fink`, `sorcery` and `urpmi` rows; fix `winget`, `dnf`, `scoop` and `cask` competitor flags.
- [mpm] Make the binaries catalog table searchable and sortable, with relative-age hints on release dates.
- [mpm] Exercise every subcommand's `--help` screen against the compiled binaries in the CLI test plan.
- [mpm] Extend the destructive install/remove test round-trip to the bundled configuration-defined managers; CI exercises it for real against `gh-ext`.

## [`7.1.0` (2026-07-07)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.0.1...v7.1.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.1.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.1.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.1.0).

- **Breaking:** [mpm] Split the `[sbom]` extra into `[sbom-offline]` (CycloneDX and SPDX document rendering) and `[sbom-online]` (the `--network` vulnerability lookups). `pip install meta-package-manager[sbom]` no longer resolves: use `[sbom-offline]` for the previous behavior, adding `[sbom-online]` for vulnerability scanning.
- [mpm] Define brand-new package managers from the configuration file: a `[mpm.managers.<id>]` section declares a manager's platforms, CLI and version detection, and per-operation commands with `regex` or JSON parsers. Defined managers get `--<id>` / `--no-<id>` selectors and join the default set.
- [mpm] Manager definitions load only from a trusted local config file (owned by you, not world-writable, never a remote `--config` URL), and a command-redirecting override (`pre_cmds`, `cli_names`, `cli_search_path`) read from an untrusted source now warns: see the new {doc}`security` page.
- [mpm] Ship package managers as bundled configuration definitions: TOML files under `meta_package_manager/managers/`, built through the same schema as a user's `[mpm.managers.<id>]` section but loaded at startup like built-ins and exempt from the config-file trust gate.
- [gh-ext] Add GitHub CLI extensions (`gh extension`) manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, and `remove` support, cross-platform on Linux, macOS, and Windows; mpm's first bundled configuration-defined manager. Requires gh `>=2.0.0`.
- [soar] Add Soar (pkgforge) package manager with `installed`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `sync`, and `cleanup` support on Linux; a bundled configuration-defined manager. Requires soar `>=0.12.0`.
- [conda] Add Conda package manager with `installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, and `cleanup` support, cross-platform on Linux, macOS, and Windows; requires conda `>=4.6.0`.
- [mpm] Add a global `--network / --no-network` flag (default off) that opts into network calls during a run.
- [mpm] `mpm --network sbom` queries [OSV.dev](https://osv.dev) for known vulnerabilities across OSV's indexed ecosystems (pip, npm, cargo, gem, composer): CycloneDX gains a `vulnerabilities` array, SPDX per-package `SECURITY` external references, and the end-of-run summary a vulnerability count.
- [mpm] OSV responses are cached on disk; network failures, a missing extra, or an unwritable cache degrade gracefully to an SBOM without vulnerability data.
- [mpm] Privilege escalation is now per-manager: system package managers still run state-changing operations through `sudo` by default, and a new global `--sudo` / `--no-sudo` flag or per-manager `[mpm.managers.<id>] sudo` config key overrides that either way. Resolves [#1295](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1295) and [#33](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/33).
- [mpm] Escalating commands authenticate `sudo` once up front and run through `sudo -n`, so a password prompt no longer stalls the concurrent fan-out; off a terminal, managers needing root fail fast with a message pointing at `--sudo` instead of hanging.
- [yay] Honor `--cooldown` by overlaying a generated `init.lua` through a private `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, holding back AUR upgrades and installs newer than the release-age floor while preserving the user's own yay config. Requires yay `13.0.0` for its Lua hooks.
- [mpm] The CLI gains a global `--export-config FORMAT` option that prints the fully-resolved configuration (config file, environment, and defaults merged) as `toml`, `yaml`, `json`, `json5`, `jsonc`, `hjson`, or `xml`, then exits.
- [mpm] Managers sharing a backend lock (`brew`/`cask`, `apt`/`apt-mint`/`deb-get`, the RPM and pacman families) now run serially within their family during state-changing commands; members resolving to an identical command run it once. Fixes spurious `cask` failures when syncing alongside `brew`.
- [mpm] A single Ctrl+C now aborts a concurrent command promptly: the first interrupt terminates in-flight package-manager subprocesses, so the thread pool drains and the run exits cleanly instead of hanging until a second Ctrl+C and a threading-shutdown traceback.
- [mpm] `--timeout` now also bounds the manager version-detection probes, not just the operation that follows, so a wedged binary cannot outlast the limit during startup detection.
- [bar-plugin] Cap each `mpm` call the plugin makes at 60 seconds via `--timeout`, so a wedged package manager fails the menubar refresh in about a minute instead of stalling it for several.
- [mpm] Raise the click-extra floor from `8.1.1` to `8.2.0`, the first release shipping the concurrency primitives, the `--export-config` option, and the compatibility-matrix machinery `mpm` relies on.
- [mpm] Meta Package Manager is now [available in GNU Guix](https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/meta-package-manager/) upstream, installable with `guix install meta-package-manager`.
- [mpm] Rename the reference package to `meta-package-manager`, fetch its source from the tagged git commit, build it with `setuptools.build_meta`, drop the now-optional SBOM and `more-itertools` inputs, and fix the `python-packageurl` input name so `guix install --load-path=packaging/guix` resolves.
- [mpm] Drop the now-optional SBOM and `more-itertools` dependencies from the reference package definition.
- [pip] Only target a Python the user can actually install into: mpm's own bundled virtualenv and externally-managed interpreters (PEP 668) are skipped, so distro-managed packages no longer surface as bogus `outdated` pip upgrades. Supersedes the dependency-tree filter from [#1767](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1767).
- [pip] Probe the Python interpreter version under the short read-only timeout instead of the long state-changing default.
- [mpm] The `--cooldown` help now shows `[default: (disabled)]` instead of the bare `[default: ""]`, so the unset state reads as a word rather than an empty string.
- [dnf] `upgrade` and `upgrade --all` now pass `--assumeyes`, as the other dnf operations already did, so upgrades no longer hang on an interactive confirmation prompt.
- [eopkg] `upgrade --all` now passes `--yes-all`, matching the single-package upgrade, so it no longer hangs on an interactive confirmation prompt.
- [fwupd] Fix version-pinned installs: the device ID and release version were joined into a single CLI argument that `fwupdmgr` could not parse.
- [npm] `install` no longer passes `--no-fund` and `--no-audit` twice.
- [mpm] The installation page now documents which Python and click-extra versions each `mpm` release accepts, in tables regenerated from the release tags and guarded by a drift test.
- [mpm] Catalog every released standalone binary on a new documentation page, linking each platform build to its download and public VirusTotal analysis, with a detection-rate trend chart.
- [mpm] Add a hermetic test replaying each manager's documented CLI samples through its own parsers and command builders, covering `installed`, `outdated`, `--version`, and the mutation commands; corrected the stale samples flagged across a dozen managers. Toward [#1023](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1023).

## [`7.0.1` (2026-06-27)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v7.0.0...v7.0.1)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.0.1` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.0.1/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.0.1).

- [mpm] Fix `ParameterSource` import from older Click dependency.

## [`7.0.0` (2026-06-26)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v6.6.0...v7.0.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `7.0.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/7.0.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v7.0.0).

- **Breaking:** [mpm] Rename the `--allow-no-cooldown` flag to the `--require-cooldown-support`/`--allow-unsupported-managers` pair, and its `allow_no_cooldown` config to `require_cooldown_support` (default `true`).
- **Breaking:** [mpm] The `sort_by` configuration option is now a list of fields, matching the repeatable `--sort-by`. Wrap an existing scalar value in brackets: `sort_by = "package_id"` becomes `sort_by = ["package_id"]`.
- [pnpm] Add the pnpm package manager (`installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `remove`, `cleanup`), enforcing `--cooldown` via pnpm's native `minimumReleaseAge` gate.
- [mpm] Filter the package listing by a query: `installed` and `outdated` take an optional `QUERY` argument and `dump`/`backup`/`sbom` a `--query` option, fuzzy by default with `--exact`/`--fuzzy` to control it.
- [mpm] `--sort-by`/`-s` is now repeatable, ordering result tables by several fields in priority order (like `--sort-by package_id --sort-by manager_id`).
- [mpm] Run managers in parallel via a new `--jobs`/`-j` option (default: CPU count minus one), covering the read-only queries, the maintenance commands, the inventory exporters, and the state changers; `DEBUG` verbosity forces sequential runs. Closes [#529](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/529).
- [mpm] Show a progress spinner with elapsed time on `<stderr>` while manager CLI calls run, toggled with click-extra's `--progress`/`--no-progress`.
- [mpm] `install`, `remove`, `upgrade`, `restore`, `sync`, and `cleanup` now print a per-attempt `✓`/`✗` trail and a finisher on an interactive terminal: per-package for the package commands, per-manager for `sync`/`cleanup`/`upgrade --all`.
- [mpm] The standalone binary now reads configuration in all six formats (`toml`, `yaml`, `json5`, `jsonc`, `hjson`, `xml`), matching the source distribution.
- [mpm] Lower the default verbosity from `INFO` to `WARNING`, leaving only the `✓`/`✗` trail, finishers, and genuine warnings on screen; per-operation narration moves to `INFO` and raw technical detail to `DEBUG`.
- [mpm] `--timeout` now defaults per-operation (120s for read-only queries, 500s for state-changing operations) instead of a flat 500s; an explicit `--timeout` still overrides.
- [mpm] `install`, `remove`, `upgrade <packages>`, and `restore` now exit non-zero when a target fails or no manager can fulfill the request, instead of always reporting `0`.
- [mpm] Fix `install`/`remove`/`upgrade` dropping all but one target when the same package is given with several explicit managers; `install` now acts on every requested package instead of stopping at the first success.
- [mpm] Fix `install`, `remove`, and `upgrade` reporting success when a manager's CLI fails with a non-zero exit code but empty error output, like steamcmd's anonymous-login failure on Windows.
- [eopkg] Fix `installed`, `outdated`, and `search` returning no packages.
- [mpm] Compare a leading version epoch (`1:2.0`, `1!2.0`) as a dominant component, so epoch bumps order correctly across Debian, RPM, pacman, and PEP 440 schemes.
- [mpm] Resolve `pkg:apk` purls to the `apk` manager and `pkg:npm` purls to `pnpm`; both were missing from the purl-to-manager map.

## [`6.6.0` (2026-06-17)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v6.5.1...v6.6.0)

> [!NOTE]
> `6.6.0` is available on [🐍 PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/meta-package-manager/6.6.0/) and [🐙 GitHub](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/releases/tag/v6.6.0).

- **Breaking:** [mpm] Rename the global `--stats / --no-stats` flag to `--summary / --no-summary`. Scripts passing the old flag must update.
- **Breaking:** [mpm] Move `cyclonedx-python-lib` and `spdx-tools` into a new `[sbom]` extra: `mpm sbom` now requires `pip install meta-package-manager[sbom]`. `packageurl-python` stays in the runtime install. The standalone binary distribution keeps shipping SBOM support: `[tool.repomatic] nuitka.extras = ["sbom"]` syncs the extra into the build venv and `[tool.nuitka] include-package = ["cyclonedx", "spdx_tools"]` forces Nuitka to bundle the `try/except`-guarded imports.
- [asdf] Add [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com) package manager (`installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, `upgrade_all`, `remove`, `sync`) on Linux and macOS; requires `asdf` `>=0.16.0`.

- [mpm] Add the `--man` (roff man page) and `--accessible` (no ANSI or Unicode, for screen readers) global options from `click-extra`, and attach an `mpm-manpages.tar.gz` asset to each release.
- [mpm] Add a `--cooldown DURATION` option and `[mpm] cooldown` config to refuse installing or upgrading package versions newer than a given release age, as a supply-chain mitigation; unsupported managers are skipped unless `--allow-no-cooldown`.
- [brew] Adapt to Homebrew `6.0.0`: pass `--yes` to `brew upgrade` to suppress the new interactive prompt, and trust tap-qualified installs before installing to avoid `tap trust is required` aborts. Bumps minimum `brew` from `2.7.0` to `6.0.0`.
- [zerobrew] Add `upgrade` and `upgrade_all` support via `zb upgrade`, and bump minimum `zb` from `0.2.0` to `0.3.0`.
- [mpm] Make `mpm sbom` maximalist by default, collecting rich per-package metadata (license, supplier, homepage, checksums, dependency graph) into SPDX and CycloneDX exports, with `--minimal` for the bare inventory.
- [mpm] Attach canonical SPDX URLs to each identifier inside compound license expressions in CycloneDX 1.7 output (`licenses[].expressionDetails[]`).
- [mpm] Reduce default-verbosity noise on operational subcommands: captured stderr and implicit-selection `Skip` messages drop to DEBUG, with a one-line error summary at the end of any subcommand whose CLIs accumulated errors.
- [mpm] Fix `pkg:cpan/…`, `pkg:guix/…`, and `pkg:nix/…` pURL specifiers raising `Unrecognized pURL type` even though those managers are implemented.

- [mpm] Define `mpm`'s own `OK_GLYPH` (`✓`) and `KO_GLYPH` (`✘`) constants in `meta_package_manager.output` instead of importing them from `click-extra`.

## [`6.5.0` (2026-05-25)](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/compare/v6.4.3...v6.5.0)

- [pwsh-gallery] Add PowerShell Gallery package manager with `installed`, `outdated`, `search`, `install`, `upgrade`, and `remove` support. Drives `Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet` (PowerShell 7.4+), installs to `-Scope CurrentUser`, cross-platform on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Closes [#1760](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/1760).
- [topgrade] Add `topgrade` itself as a supported manager; only `upgrade --all` is implemented (`mpm upgrade --topgrade` runs `topgrade --yes`). Requires `topgrade` >= `17.0.0`. Beware running a manager twice if both are selected.
- [mpm] Add `[mpm.managers.<id>]` config sections for per-manager attribute overrides, taking precedence over global `[mpm]` settings and `--<flag>` values. Closes [#945](https://github.com/kdeldycke/meta-package-manager/issues/945).
- [mpm] Print an upstream contribution invitation on `<stderr>` with a pre-filled GitHub issue URL when an override targets a detection-related field. Silence via `--no-suggest-contribs`, `MPM_SUGGEST_CONTRIBS=false`, or `[mpm] suggest_contribs = false`.
- [mpm] Add `mpm config-template [manager-ids...]` subcommand that prints every overridable manager attribute as a ready-to-paste `[mpm.managers.<id>]` TOML block.
- [mpm] Add `mpm dump` to export the installed-package inventory as TOML (`--toml`) or a Brewfile (`--brewfile`); `mpm backup`, `mpm lock`, `mpm freeze`, and `mpm snapshot` are aliases.
- [bar-plugin] Swap default and alternate actions on package-upgrade entries: a regular click now opens a visible terminal, and holding `Option` runs the upgrade silently. Reverses the `3.3.0` behavior.
- [mpm] Remove automated publishing of the Chocolatey package; install instructions in `docs/install.md` now point only at the local build path.
- [mas] Bump minimum required `mas` version from `1.8.7` to `7.0.0`, switch `installed`, `outdated`, and `search` to parse `--json` output, update `homepage_url` to `https://github.com/mas-cli/mas`, and drop the explicit `sudo` wrapper around `mas uninstall`.
- [mpm] Fix several Windows subprocess issues: hidden console windows, winget `CTRL_C_EVENT` handling, grandchild-process cleanup on timeout, missing-executable detection, and interactive-prompt hangs.
- [yarn] Fix `search` to parse NDJSON output line by line, collecting only `inspect`-type entries, since newer Yarn emits multiple JSON objects with a trailing status line.
- [mpm] Fix Nuitka onefile builds by configuring the binary through the standard `[tool.nuitka]` section, bundling `click_extra`'s `themes.toml`, and carrying product metadata and native per-platform icons.
- [mpm] Add Void Linux build-from-source installation instructions to `docs/install.md`.

- [guix] Drop the `>=1.0.0` version requirement and add a hex-hash regex variant, so `guix pull` installs and dev wrappers reporting a git commit hash register as available.
- [winget] Fix the parsing of `winget` tables: the package-block split no longer fires on indented upgrade rows, and the table width is read from the separator line, which stays full-width even when `winget` trims the trailing spaces of the header. Microsoft Store entries are recognized from their 12-character product ID or their `XP`-prefixed extension ID.
- [mpm] Add `PackageManager.unavailable_reason` and surface it in the pool's "Skip" log line, spelling out why a manager was dropped from selection.
- [mpm] Move `--cov` and `--cov-report=term` out of `pyproject.toml` `addopts` into the CI workflow, dropping `pytest-cov` as an unconditional test dependency.

- [mpm] Drop the `more-itertools` dependency, replacing the single `peekable` use with stdlib `next(iterator, None)`.
- [mpm] Move Chocolatey package files into `packaging/choco/meta-package-manager/` so the directory name matches the nuspec basename, fixing the release job.
- [mpm] Add `choco-source`, `nix-source`, and `guix-source` jobs to `tests-install.yaml` that build and install from the in-repo packaging specs.
- [mpm] Render the `chocolatey`, `guix`, and `nix` release-PR bodies through `repomatic pr-body`, adding the standard workflow-metadata block and attribution footer.
