NETWORKMANAGER PROMOTION CLEARS TESTING, ARCHINSTALL GAINS LOG SHARING

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux

NetworkManager and its 32-bit dependencies graduate from testing to stable repos [ref:3][ref:4][ref:5], while the installer gains logfile preview and wider translation support.

Three core networking libraries moved to stable repos overnight: lib32-libnm and lib32-nss [1][3] left multilib-testing, followed by NetworkManager itself [2] moving from extra-testing to extra-x86_64. This is the green light for systems that have been holding back. Meanwhile, archinstall shipped two concrete improvements. Log sharing gets a visibility upgrade [4] with a preview screen so users see exactly what they are uploading before confirmation, plus hypothesis-powered tests for wider coverage. Japanese translation hit 100% [5], bringing the installer to full parity across another language. Two routine maintenance updates landed: libxml++ to 3.2.6 [6] and open-policy-agent to 1.16.2 [7], plus ruff-pre-commit bumped to v0.15.13 [8].
