Thank you @Morganamilo , that answers my question. Such (big) change should be highlighted in the homepage, so users will not complain (as I did) :)

Thank you for your efforts on yay!

[Morganamilo]

There is a changelog on the release page. https://github.com/Jguer/yay/releases Admittedly @Jguer could have written a little more on it ;) I'll just link the commit there.

I'm also gonna keep this open a while in hopes it catches people before they make duplicate issues.

[thePanz]

Well, the changelog in the relase page does not explain the issue :)
There are screenshots in the homepage, where the yay -Syu is shown (well, the second screenshot is even using the go run way to run GoLang apps), maybe updating it with the correct command (and image caption could help) :)

That image is from 2017-08-02 wow, almost a year.

I opened #557 to add this "issue" to the FAQ

I was in a bit of a hurry to go on a short vacation when I wrote the releases 😇, I can update the screenshots when i boot up a machine I know has a lot of nice multi coloured updates to do.

(And yes, most people don't realize yay is almost 2 years old 😆 )
