Is there an issue with this update?

[classabbyamp]

it fails to build and I haven't had time to test it yet

[m3thm4th]

I see. I just want to note that with this release GRUB added support for Argon2, this is a very important update that should be included in the next (hopefully not far away) ISO

Thanks @classabbyamp! I tested an upgrade from 2.12 on x86_64 glibc, EFI, unencrypted /boot, and had no issues. I was happy to see that 2.14's BLS support worked fine for me as well, using configfile to point to another distro's BLS entries.

I did an xbps-reconfigure -f linux6.12 and grub-install still failed.

I think the first paragraph of data here is new, if it helps:

[classabbyamp]

looks like a known regression that got reverted post-release

[classabbyamp]

new version pushed with that fixed, @gtryujb you might need to remove the grub-2.14 package from your cache before doing xbps-install -f to get the fixed one

[gtryujb]

The new one grub-installed OK now.
