2019-05-17 - Kernels, Grub, KDE, Deepin, Gnome, XFCE, LibreOffice, Bash, Systemd (Stable Update)
Verfasst: Freitag 17. Mai 2019, 10:14
Hello community,
I am happy to announce another Stable Update!
This update holds the following changes:
We ship another set of kernel point releases, including both our realtime kernels,
Browsers palemoon, chromium and falkon got updated
Also our system backup tool backintime got renewed, which was much requested
Following Archlinux we are finally deprecating qt4. No reason to worry if you are still using and legacy qt4 dependent application, as of course you can just keep your qt4 installed, for now.
Calamares got updated and rebuild against kpmcore 4.0
Grub package got redesigned to support also 32bit UEFI installs. Hopefully the languages bug is also solved by this.
KDE-Dev ISO got updated and therefore all KDE-Git packages aswell
Latest addition to KDE-Dev is a new notification system. You can try it with our ISO.
Most of our Kernels got updated. Some might had noticed that dmesg is now restricted to root. To rave you can go here.
We added linux52 in its current git snapshot. Few extramodules build, but not all yet!
XFCE-GTK3 got renewed packages. The issue with Nvidia and XFWM4-GTK3 got fixed.
Also Gnome got updated to 3.32.2 plus needed Gnome-Extensions.
Plasma is now at 5.15.5
KDE Apps is now at 19.04.1
LibreOffice is now att 6.1.6
Bash got some security fixes
Systemd got updated to its latest stable updates
Deepin has newer packages to provide a better experience
Mesa is now at 19.0.4
For all using Haskell, you find now the latest updates in our repos.
Give us the usual feedback and let us know what you think about this update.

linux419 4.19.42
linux420 4.20.17 [EOL]

With all current supported kernels you are vunerable to the new reported MDS Issue 1. Upstream released already needed patches for the following kernel series: 5.1, 5.0, 4.19, 4.14 and 4.9. We will try to provide them as soon as possible, after internal testings.
Affected are Intel CPUs. Here the list of non affected CPUs:
Processors from AMD, Centaur and other non Intel vendors
Older processor models, where the CPU family is < 6
Some Atoms (Bonnell, Saltwell, Goldmont, GoldmontPlus)
Intel processors which have the ARCH_CAP_MDS_NO bit set in the IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR.
Contain patches that have only seen the "public eye" for about 5 minutes. So be forewarned, they might break things, they might not build, but hopefully they fix things. Odds are upstream will be fixing a number of small things in this area for the next few weeks as things shake out on real hardware and workloads. So don't think you are done updating your kernel, you never are done with that, at least on Intel CPUs. Intel will additionally provide needed microcode updates to fix things from their end too.
Additional information about this issue can be found here.
Small cleanup of Manjaro official repositories
Please note that the following packages got removed from our repositories.
chromium-chromevox
gimp-gtk3
pamac-classic
pamac-dev
pamac-dev-tray-appindicator
