Thanks for your understanding.

Hi all,

Registration to the AUR is now reopened. The new release includes<br>changes to harden account registration.

Summary of related changes:<br>- Disposable email addresses are now rejected.<br>- Email verification is now mandatory, most users are unaffected but new<br>accounts must verify their email address via a time-limited token which<br>is valid for 24 hours.<br>- Email changes are locked during the verification cooldown.

If you spot suspicious registration activity or packages, please flag<br>them in ML as usual.

Thanks,
