Calamares 3.2.15 released
Oct 11, 2019
The Calamares team is happy to announce the availability of Calamares 3.2.15, a small features-and-bugfix release in the Calamares 3.2.x series. There are improvements in the displaymanager, machineid and unpackfs modules. This is a short-cycle release (extra-quick this time).
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.
