A new version of the Arch Linux installer has been released featuring a variety of updates, such as the consolidation of preparations for LVM and partitions, the replacement of Sway with Hyprland in profile seat selection, the integration of a new arguments data structure, the correction of MBR conditional, the display of device wipe status in Info for Partitioning, and the addition of extra package selectors.
The system also provides UKI support for the Limine bootloader option and does not mandate the installation of GRUB on BIOS when it is not selected as the bootloader. The release encompasses corrections for mirror and region definitions, guided.rst, package text, timestamps, and additional elements. The release features enhancements in Limine hook creation, synchronization of udev following LUKS encryption, and the option to disable the default credentials save functionality. It additionally accommodates FAT12 and FAT16 ESPs, permitting only ASCII characters in input, along with code refactoring.
