Calamares 3.1.2
The Manjaro team and Calamares team are happy to announce the immediate availability of Calamares 3.1.2, a bugfix-and-translations release in the 3.1 series.
Calamares is a distribution-independent system installer, with an advanced partitioning feature for both manual and automated partitioning operations. Calamares is designed to be customizable by distribution maintainers without need for cumbersome patching, thanks to third party branding and external modules support.
The big change in v3.1.2 is translations. The .desktop file is now translated, allowing for a better live-desktop experience by showing Calamares and its desktop information in the system’s language.
Highlights of this release include:
- Summary page now shows language and number-formats information.
- The Quit and Done buttons now have a tooltip explaining what they will do.
- At the end of the install process, a notification appears in the system notification area (generally a pop-up in the lower right-hand corner of the screen).
- If installation fails, the system won’t reboot automatically on the last Calamares page.
- Fat32 filesystems are now handled correctly even when misspelled (thanks Kai Hohmen).
- Filesystem sizes are now shown with an MB suffix (thanks Lisa Vitolo).
Calamares requires KPMcore 3.0.3 or later, for various bugfixes and stability improvements in KPMcore.
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.
