🚧 Changes:

_{For all changes, see the full commit log.}

• 058ec8f - add MICMUTE keyboard hotkey to mute/unmute the default audio input source.
• 4d30d30 - fix hotkeyd build to pick up the correct version using commit id and added hash file accordingly.
• 1865376 - use pactl rather than amixer for the volume controls which seems to be more reliable. In addition we allow to switch microphone levels and mute/unmute toggle via SHIFT+keypad presses as well now.
• 7a2f5dd - bump used upstream kernel to 6.12.48
• d158bce - add 0001-gcc14-fix.patch as buildroot upstream patch to fix YAD compilation with GCC14. Also added YAD as a dependency in qutselect package.
• b7cdcb5 - bump buildroot to latest 2025.08 and remove dhcpcd patch not required anymore.
• a407ab6 - disable pa-update-default-sink.sh to see if it is really required anymore.
• 24042a4 - add hotkeyd patch to support main while loop restart in case a keyboard is removed/replugged. Also fixes segfaults in case the dev dirs won't exist and default_device() might crash accordingly.
• d1dbf8c - add new buildroot upstream patch to downgrade python-glslang to 11.13.0 for a clean compile.
• 70c31cd - fix install targets for our own meson build packages.
• 51ec15e - remove 0022-webkitgtk-fixes buildroot upstream patch because in newer webkitgtk the previous issues seem to be corrected already.
• 2aa99fe - update ThinLinc client to latest 4.19.0-4005
• dcb42d9 - comment out unused functions.
• 83f48f0 - add BR2_PACKAGE_GSETTINGS_DESKTOP_SCHEMAS package to add missing gsettings-desktop schemas for newer applications (google-chrome) to be able to use these schemas (e.g. not crash).
