Calamares 3.3.10 released

Oct 22, 2024

A release with improvements in a number of modules, with some last-minute delay due to weirdness in the unit-tests.

This release contains contributions from (alphabetically by given name):

  • Aaron Rainbolt
  • Adriaan de Groot
  • Evan James
  • Neal Gompa

Core

  • Support for “rwx”-style permissions-strings everywhere permissions are written. Previously only octal was accepted (e.g. “755”) but you can now write the permissions out like they would be reported by ls (e.g. “rwxr-xr-x”).

Modules

  • keyboard Repaired summary messages with strange formatting. (#2364)
  • keyboard Can update KDE Plasma configuration in Wayland. (thanks Neal, #2264)
  • locale Repaired summary messages with strange formatting. (#2364)
  • partition Module fixed unwanted behavior with the encryption checkbox. (thanks Aaron, #2376)
  • umount Correctly unmounts the root filesystem of the target. (thanks Evan)
  • users Supports a new home_permissions setting to override the distro’s useradd configuration of the umask. Supports octal and rwx-style specifications of permissions. Other places that use permissions now also support octal and rwx-style. (#2362)
  • welcome Follows system styling colors (e.g. Dark Mode).
