2019-07-13 - Kernels, Calamares, Firefox, KDE Apps, 18.1-rc4 (Testing Update)

[Blueriver]

Hello community,

I am happy to announce another Testing Update. Mostly we have Kernels and Browser updates with this one.

Some might noticed that since the #snapcraftsummit a lot of package changes went into Manjaro and our available RCs. Also we didn't yet announce 18.1.0-rc3 officially yet. We are still polishing the snap experience for our users. XFCE and Gnome will come with Gnome-Software and our KDE edition has Discover, both with snap support enabled.

This way everybody can easily access the snap store by a click and don't has to hassle to get snaps enabled. This enables us to ship even more proprietary software, which we couldn't before. For example check out on how you may install Spotify on Manjaro.

This update holds the following changes:

Calamares got needed security fixes. If you want to use luks encryption, we strongly recommend 18.1-rc4 or later!
Most of our Kernels got updated
Latest version of Firefox and Wine
KDE Apps are now at 19.04.3
Manjaro Juhraya ISOs got updated, including flatpak and snap support pre-activated: XFCE, KDE, Gnome
Give us the usual feedback and let us know what you think about this update.
