thanks - just some notes for the next time you do this

for most packages, it is usually not enough to bump the pkgver and checksums -
even when that is all of the needed changes, it is never the time-consuming
part of an upgrade

we try to keep the recipes as close to the arch upstreams as possible; so the
PKGBUILD needs to be compared with the arch recipe and any new changes merged in
- archarm and arch32 may also have special changes; though the armv7h and i686
packages are not necessarily out-of-date at the same time

after that, it is also important to try building the revised package with
libretools, and mention if that was successful - then to install the new package
and make sure it works properly - in this case, it has a new run=time
dependency 'clinfo' - it build fine without it, so im not sure what it is for;
but it probably means that some new feature would be missing without it

i do not intend to discourage you - we are glad to coach people in this way,
about how to maintain packages - i notice hat no one has claimed this package
- if you use this program regularly, you could become the maintainer if you
like - GUI programs which are not broken (no bug report) do not get a high
priority normally, unless someone has adopted the package - KDE especially
needs a lot of attention; but none of the parabola devs use it, so it is
something of a blind spot currently - if someone cam do all of those tasks i
mentioned each time there is an upgrade pending for a 'k-' or 'q-' package,
that will help it stay up-to-date

in any case, the effort is appreciated - please do keep an eye on this package
and remind us again if it is outdated - if you can send patches, mention
whether or not it compiles successfully under libretools, for x86_64 at least
