The only change in this .SRCINFO diff is a version bump from 1.24.1b to 1.24.2b. No source URLs, checksums, build steps, install scripts, permissions, or package metadata affecting trust boundaries were changed. Based on the provided diff alone, this is a routine upstream version update with no evident security impact.

Comment

The change is limited to bumping the virtual provide version from zen-browser=1.24.1b to zen-browser=1.24.2b in .SRCINFO. This is metadata only and does not introduce new sources, build steps, install scripts, permissions changes, or other execution paths. No security-relevant behavior is affected by this diff alone.

Comment

The change is a straightforward version bump in .SRCINFO for the prebuilt Zen Browser binaries, updating the GitHub release URLs and corresponding SHA-256 checksums for x86_64 and aarch64. The sources remain HTTPS on the official upstream GitHub release page, there are no new build-time commands, no added scripts, and no packaging metadata changes that would introduce privilege escalation or persistence. Risk is low and limited to the usual trust in upstream release binaries, which is unchanged by this diff.

The change only bumps pkgver from 1.24.1b to 1.24.2b in PKGBUILD. No source URLs, checksums, build steps, install scripts, permissions, or other packaging logic are modified in the reviewed hunk. On its face this is a routine version update with no security-relevant red flags in the diff provided.

Comment

The change only updates the pinned upstream release version and the corresponding SHA-256 checksums for the architecture-specific release tarballs. No build logic, install scripts, permissions, network behavior, or package metadata beyond version/checksum pinning changed. This is a normal upstream version bump with integrity verification preserved, so I see no security concern in the diff itself.
