01Super+comma acts on notifications instead of simply dismissing them
dhh proposed and merged omacom/omarchy#16699 and its follow-up omacom/omarchy#16701 into quattro. Super+comma now invokes a notification's sole action or opens keyboard selection when several choices exist. Plain dismissal moves to Super+Alt+comma.
The follow-up accounts for clickable notifications without buttons, such as WhatsApp web notifications. The resulting commit also counts a native sender's own window as an available action, covering apps such as Signal. These are development-branch changes.
02Network speed tests count their own traffic and stop with the panel
emirb proposed and merged omacom/omarchy#16681 into quattro, replacing the fast.com script with the separately packaged Omarchy speed-test client. It counts its own payloads rather than the interface's total traffic and receives the panel's process ID so closing the panel ends the test. A 20-second watchdog reports stalled phases.
emirb reported that unrelated downloads inflated the old readings and that upload workers survived panel closure; the supplied comparisons are the author's measurements. 
greptile-apps[bot] reviewed the replacement and noted the release dependency requirement. That dependency is now committed in omacom/omarchy-pkgs@9d9c35b5b886, explicitly without changing stable 4.0.6; it is intended to arrive with the release carrying the new launcher.
04New encrypted installs use 4096-byte sectors where possible
emirb proposed and merged omacom/omarchy-iso#336 into quattro, requesting 4096-byte encryption sectors on both installation paths when the partition size permits them. It also fixes free-space partitions being one 512-byte sector larger than requested, which prevented that sector size from working.
hegjon supplied a three-install-per-side ThinkPad T460s comparison, reporting root-image writes around 2.46 seconds with 512-byte sectors and 2.16 seconds with 4096-byte sectors, alongside faster sequential reads. These are contributor measurements, not a universal performance guarantee. The change affects formatting new encrypted volumes; changing an existing volume's encryption sector size requires rewriting it.
05Snapdragon fixes address missing boot data and silent unlock keyboards
emirb proposed and merged omacom/omarchy#16688 into quattro so supported Snapdragon laptops load the I2C HID driver early enough to type an encrypted-disk passphrase. The author reported successful unlocking on an ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3480QA. After review, the detection uses Omarchy's shared Snapdragon helper; greptile-apps[bot] confirmed its earlier helper concern was fixed.
A related installer fix moves image-provided boot files onto the EFI System Partition, preventing the mounted partition from hiding Snapdragon device trees needed to build a bootable image. That work was merged into the ISO repository's quattro branch, as recorded by omacom/omarchy-iso@1fe8d0599c94. Neither development-branch merge establishes a stable release.
06Background intros stop polling after their cover disappears
A quattro commit associated with emirb, omacom/omarchy@67faeb0d2b55, stops the background intro's frame-status timer once neither its cover nor a theme transition remains. Previously, a still-wallpaper handoff could leave the shell repeatedly starting status processes for the rest of the session.
The commit reports 62.5 process launches per second on a Snapdragon laptop. Its supporting comparison found lower battery power without a simulated polling loop, but that is an author-reported experiment rather than a measured guarantee for the shipped fix.
07Apple GPU packages pair M3 defaults with runtime lifetime fixes
chriskearney's kernel packaging work in omacom/omarchy-pkgs#1622 pins merged M3 defaults and GPU runtime lifetime fixes. 
maralcbr discussed pairing the kernel with the boot handoff and then merged the PR into master. 
github-actions[bot] subsequently reported linux-aurora 7.2.11.aurora7-1 and its headers live on edge for aarch64.
Related default-branch commits update Mesa integration and the M3 MacBook Air boot package. The latter adds GPU start and power handoff settings for J613 and J615 at installation and relevant upgrades. The kernel PR's supplied description still records a hold for testing the exact kernel, Mesa and boot combination together; its merge and edge publication do not establish that this hardware-validation gate passed or that the combination reached stable.
11DST rollback reports connect clock warnings to failed application launches
mweinbergh opened omacom/omarchy#16677 after the October 25 clock rollback, reporting millions of timer warnings, accumulated shell logs filling the runtime filesystem and failures launching applications through UWSM. 
AzrielSins added a London report with warning timestamps and subsequent logger and application-daemon failures, while explicitly noting that filesystem occupancy could no longer be established after reboot.
Dominik-O22 supplied a Berlin report and traced the suspected loop to Quickshell's handling of ambiguous local times in SystemClock. The issue remains open. These reports support investigation of the clock and logging paths; they do not establish a merged fix.
12Omaroll viewer becomes available on edge for both architectures
ryanrhughes merged 
btsouth's Omaroll package submission, omacom/omarchy-pkgs#295, into master. Omaroll 1.18.0 provides local image, video and PDF viewing, with camera RAW previews and a library accessible from the quick viewer.
github-actions[bot] reported the package live on edge for x86_64 and aarch64. The recipe stays on the normal release ring because it links Qt, so this publication does not establish availability on rc or stable.
