Calamares 3.2.3 released
Jan 9, 2019
The Calamares team is happy to announce the availability of Calamares 3.2.3, the third update in the features-and-functionality series of Calamares 3.2.x. This is a bugfix release, with no configuration changes for review.
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.
This release contains contributions from (alphabetically by first name):
- aliveafter1000
Core
There are no core changes in this release.
Modules
- partition Fixed bug where, during detection of existing systems, the existing system partitions may be mounted and then files deleted. This is a limited version of the patch from aliveafter1000 that will be in 3.2.4, which tries harder to mount filesystems read-only and unmodifiable.
- locale It was possible to set the installer and system language
(e.g. to German) while the global storage value for locale
remained set to English. Then no localization packages are installed
(see feature
${LOCALE}inpackages.conf). Reported downstream in Netrunner.
