- the usual updates to our core packages
New in Arch Linux 2012.11.01 (Nov 3, 2012)
- First media with Linux 3.6
- copytoram=n can be used to not copy the image to RAM on network boot. This is probably unreliable but an option for systems with very low memory.
- cowfile_size boot parameter mainly for persistent COW on VFAT.
New in Arch Linux 2012.10.06 (Oct 8, 2012)
- systemd is used to boot up the live system.
- initscripts are no longer available on the live system but are still installed by default on the target system. This is likely to change in the near future.
- EFI boot and setup has been simplified.
- gummiboot is used to display a menu on EFI systems.
- The following new packages are available on the live system: ethtool, fsarchiver, gummiboot-efi, mc, partclone, partimage, refind-efi, rfkill, sudo, testdisk, wget, xl2tpd
New in Arch Linux 2012.09.07 (Sep 9, 2012)
- First medium with Linux 3.5 (3.5.3)
- The script boot parameter works again (FS#31022)
- When booting via PXE and NFS or NBD the ISO will be copied to RAM to ensure a more stable usage.
- The live medium contains usb_modeswitch and wvdial which e.g. allows to establish a network connection using an UMTS USB dongle
- Furthermore the newest versions of initscripts, systemd and netcfg are included.
New in Arch Linux 2010.05 (May 18, 2010)
- Archiso (image builds):
- all iso files can now be burned onto CD's as well as written to media like usb sticks (isohybrid)
- more than half of the packages in core are now xz compressed
- next to the single architecture images we provide dual images which can be used as 32bit or 64bit medium
- use isolinux bootloader exclusively for booting the live media
- snapshot of current core, including kernel 2.6.33.4-1, pacman-3.3.3-5 and glibc-2.11.1-3
- updated memtest
- support for PXE booting
- provide wpa_supplicant
- support virtio
- AIF (installation tool):
- ability to choose uuid/label/devicefile blockdevice representation; automatically applied in menu.lst, fstab, etc
- split off UI library into separate libui-sh project
- support virtio blockdevices
- allow user to specify additional custom arguments for mkfs and the like
- Additionally, quite some bugs have been fixed, mostly in AIF.
New in Arch Linux 2009.08 (Aug 10, 2009)
- more up-to-date software (see above)
- usage of new AIF installer, which brings:
- better disk editor with support for dm_crypt and lvm setups
- support for automated installations using config files (deprecates quickinst)
- a framework to build your own installation procedures
- better date/time setting with ntp support
- refactored grub installation routines
- usability improvements
- aufs instead of unionfs
- enhanced boot device detection on image start
- ftp images are renamed to netinstall to avoid confusion
- bugfixes (xfs freeze, mirror setting, clock correctness, network settings, ...)
- and much more...
New in Arch Linux 2009.02 (Feb 17, 2009)
- Kernel 2.6.28
- Ext4 support. Installation can be done on a ext4 root partition.
- Rescue and maintenance capabilities for Ext4 root partitions
- Fallback ISOs with the ISOLINUX bootloader, for those that have trouble booting Grub-based images
- Several bugfixes in the installer
- Brought the included documentation up-to-date
- Inclusion of AIF (Arch Linux Installation Framework), the next generation installer, currently under development.
