Comment

The change is a routine version bump in .SRCINFO for an AUR binary package: it updates pkgver/provides and the architecture-specific GitHub release URLs and checksums from 1.21.15b to 1.21.16b. The sources remain HTTPS and point to the official upstream release repository, with no new scripts, build logic, or privilege-related artifacts introduced in this diff. No security red flags are evident from the provided change alone.

Comment

The change is a routine version bump for a binary browser package, with corresponding checksum updates for the upstream release tarballs. The PKGBUILD continues to fetch sources over HTTPS from the official GitHub release page, and there are no new build steps, scripts, or privilege/persistence mechanisms introduced by this diff. No security-relevant behavior changes are present in the reviewed hunk.

Comment

The change only bumps the package version and updates the per-architecture SHA-256 checksums for the upstream release tarballs. No new sources, scripts, install logic, permissions, or packaging behavior were introduced, and the source URLs remain HTTPS and pinned to a specific release tag via the versioned release path. This is a routine integrity update with no evident security impact in the diff reviewed.
