Pacman -S nvidia does not upgrade to the new 495 version

Hi

I found that the nvidia-495 driver is in the archlinux archives.  So why on a system update (Pacman -Syu) I am not being upgraded to the new stable version. Do I have issues with my mirror.

Also I am still on gnome 40.4. Did I miss the update to gnome 41.

Usually arch is ahead of all the distros. Ubuntu has already updated to the 495 driver. It is usually behind arch. Fedora is has been on version 41 of gnome.

I found out that I get get the 495 version if upgrade with yay

yay -S nvidia-beta, but the 495.44 is not a beta version. It is a stable version. Also Does the AUR gets the 495 version from the archlinux archives or from a different archive

Have a look the package details in AUR for source.
