ArchInstall 3.0.12 released
The Arch Linux installer has undergone significant updates, with a new version now available. Not only does it serve as an installer, but it also functions as a Python library that enables the installation of Arch Linux and facilitates management of services, packages, and other system components from within the installed system - typically done via a live medium.
Several key changes have been incorporated into this updated version of the installer. One notable modification involves preserving the original order of amdgpu and radeon modules in mkinitcpio, ensuring that these crucial modules remain correctly configured to prevent manual reordering issues.
Another significant change is the reliance on btrfs-hook for managing Btrfs-related tasks, rather than manually installing Btrfs modules and binary. This shift streamlines Btrfs configuration and management within the system by automating the process through a single tool.
A new feature has been added to allow only applications to be installed when explicitly enabled by users. This means packages are installed only when users specifically choose them, preventing unnecessary software installation. Furthermore, UKI settings can now be saved and loaded seamlessly, enabling users to easily customize their installation experience.
Additionally, a minor change has been made to replace 'leafpad' with 'l3afpad.' Another modification addresses an existing issue, ensuring that the system operates correctly and fixes another problem by implementing a crucial bug resolution.
When users choose not to install a bootloader during the installation process, the installer will no longer request for bootloader configurations. This prevents potential issues when selecting 'No Bootloader' as the chosen bootloader option, providing a smoother user experience.
Finally, a new flag called '-S' has been added to arch-chroot, enhancing user interaction and management capabilities within the installed system by providing additional functionality through command-line flags.
The updated version of the installer also includes support for additional languages, with Uzbek (uz) now being one of the supported languages. This expansion ensures that users can interact with the system in their preferred language, catering to a broader range of international user bases and enhancing accessibility for users worldwide.
