The only change in this .SRCINFO hunk is a version bump from 1.23.4b to 1.24b. There are no changes to source URLs, checksums, build steps, install scripts, dependencies, or packaging behavior in the reviewed diff. On its face this is a routine upstream version update with no security-relevant indicators in the provided hunk.

Comment

The change is a straightforward version bump in .SRCINFO for an AUR binary package: pkgver/provides and the architecture-specific release URLs/checksums are updated to the new upstream Zen Browser release. The sources remain HTTPS on the official GitHub releases page, and there are no new scripts, build steps, or privilege/persistence mechanisms introduced in this diff. No security red flags are evident from this metadata-only update.

Comment

The change only updates the pinned upstream release tarball URLs and their SHA-256 checksums in .SRCINFO from Zen Browser 1.23.4b to 1.24b. The sources remain HTTPS GitHub release assets from the official upstream project, with no new build-time code execution, no added scripts, and no packaging/persistence changes. This is a routine version bump with integrity metadata updated accordingly.

Comment

The change only bumps pkgver from 1.23.4b to 1.24b in PKGBUILD. No source URLs, checksums, build steps, install scripts, or packaging logic are modified in the provided hunk, so there is no new security-relevant behavior to assess from this diff alone. Risk is minimal.

Comment

The change only updates the package version and the pinned SHA-256 checksums for the upstream release tarballs on GitHub. The source URLs remain HTTPS and point to the official upstream repository release assets, with no new build steps, scripts, or packaging logic introduced. I do not see any added supply-chain, persistence, or privilege-escalation risk in this diff.
