Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 monthly summary for ublue-os/packages. Delivered a targeted improvement to dx-helper by adding conditional post-rebase guidance based on image tag. Specifically, for LTS image tags, dx-helper now instructs users to reboot and removes the prior instruction to run 'ujust dx-group'. The release number in the spec file was incremented to reflect this UX and behavior update, with the change tracked under commit fix(dx-helper): remove helper text for LTS (#874). This work tightens LTS workflows, reduces confusion, and improves deployment reliability.
