ARCHINSTALL FIXES PLYMOUTH THEME SELECTION BUG, DENO SHIPS 2.8.3

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux

The installer's Plymouth theme menu now actually remembers your selection when you reopen it.

Archinstall patched a subtle but annoying bug in the Plymouth theme preset logic [1] where the menu was comparing enum values against raw strings, so your previously selected theme never showed as highlighted on revisit. The fix aligns the theme selector with how other single-select menus work across the codebase. Alongside that, the translation template got regenerated to pick up three missing Plymouth strings that were introduced in the previous release [2].

On the package front, Deno landed 2.8.3 [3] while GStreamer pushed a point release to 1.28.4 [4]. Tracexec updated to 0.17.0-2 , Perl's Net::DNS module bumped to 1.55 , and the WebAssembly component linker reached 0.5.25 . Nothing critical across the set, but standard maintenance across your stack.
