@@ -14,6 +14,8 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
     - improved how missing dependencies are checked when installing a new package ( the old way was not identifying some missing dependencies of **anbox-git** ). It is possible to use the old algorithm by setting **simple_checking** to **true** in **~/.config/bauh/arch.yml**. More information at [README](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/#aur--arch-).
     - checking architecture dependencies (x86_64, i686)
     - architecture dependencies are displayed on the info window as well
+- Web:
+    - separate temp build folder for standard and root users
 - UI:
     - **Settings** available as a tray action as well
     - minor improvements
