A release with improvements in a number of modules, with some last-minute delay due to weirdness in the unit-tests.
What is Calamares
Calamares is an installer framework. By design it is very customizable, in order to satisfy a wide variety of needs and use cases. Calamares aims to be easy, usable & beautiful while remaining independent of any particular Linux distribution.
Knowledge Base
The Guide linked above has documentation for end-users, the wiki is mostly for distro developers. The developer’s guide contains information on building Calamares, on its design, and localization.
Calamares look
Since Calamares is designed to be customized, themed and branded by individual distributions, it can look very different when used by specific distributions. A separate extensions package contains examples and custom modules.

A reminder for distributions using Calamares with full disk encryption: if you are using the luksbootkeyfile module, it must be placed before the fstab module in settings.conf. If it comes after, then the keyfile will be missing from crypttab and the user will be asked for their password multiple times.
