The Calamares team and Manjaro team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Calamares 2.4.5, a bug fix release that delivers improvements and fixes for recently discovered issues.

Calamares is a distribution-independent system installer, with an advanced partitioning feature for both manual and automated partitioning operations. It is the first installer with an automated "Replace Partition" option, which makes it easy to reuse a partition over and over for distribution testing. Calamares is designed to be customizable by distribution maintainers without need for cumbersome patching, thanks to third party branding and external modules support.

Highlights of this release include:

  • fixed a path handling issue which could sometimes occur when reusing an existing EFI system partition;
  • fixes and reliability improvements for the internet connection check in the welcome module;
  • fixed GRUB deployment with 32-bit UEFI firmware (note: this also affects some 64-bit systems which ship a 32-bit UEFI firmware);
  • fixed operating system detection for automatic dual boot setup in GRUB;
  • added Btrfs subvolumes setup for @ and @home in automated install modes (note: manual partitioning still doesn't support Btrfs subvolumes, as this requires further work in both KPMcore and Calamares);
  • fixed a security issue which could happen when using manual partitioning to set up a system with an encrypted root partition, but with an unencrypted separate /boot partition.

The partitioning module of Calamares 2.4.5 requires KPMcore 2.2 or 2.2.1. Further distribution-specific deployment adjustments may be needed for full LUKS support, for more details see the Calamares wiki.

If you experience an issue with Calamares, please tell us all about it on the Upstream issue tracker and with installation problems with Manjaro Linux on our Manjaro issue tracker.
