Good news and bad news from the Calamares team this month. Calamares 3.2.3 is delayed (that’s the bad news) but Lubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish now uses Calamares for its released ISO (that’s good news).

The Calamares team is happy to announce the availability of Calamares 3.2.2, the second update in the features-and-functionality series of Calamares 3.2.x. Changes in this release require distributions to carefully review the configuration files and settings for Calamares.

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.

As explained before by Adriaan de Groot in this post on his blog, Calamares have participated in the Google Summer of Code 2018.

Summer is gone, and the Calamares development team is working on a new release to come out later this month. Meet some of the team at KDE’s Akademy in Vienna next week if you like.
