If you are upgrading from 1.7, the upgrade is too complex to script so please download the new image and flash it - sorry for any trouble!

Additionally, be aware that it is very likely that 1.7 will break after 2024-03-17 as one of the package sddm won't be pinned anymore and it is likely to break the system, please upgrade before that date or don't run update-astroarch

Fixed

  • the dark them has no more striped bug or incomplete colouring
  • fixed polkit rules and group permission, now reboot and shutdown won't emit any error

Removed

  • x11vnc - this was breaking the UI theme and has been dumped, farewell!
  • vnc clipboard, tigervnc doesn't support clipboard paste

Added

  • discovery - you can now use a graphical program to find, add or remove software
  • update notification - if there will be some packages to be updated, a bell will appear
  • HDMI - AstroArch supports now both VNC and HDMI!
  • use UUID instead of /dev/X, this will allow to boot the same image from SD, USB, HDD or NVMe with no manual changes (previously required)
  • better initial support for Pi 5, some configs are baked especially for your pi5
  • tigervnc as VNC server, this will add some nice performance boost to VNC

Changed

  • the default wallpaper is now a slideshow
  • resizing partition at first boot now works with every media automatically
  • the access point now has a small suffix e.g AstroArch-XXXXX where X are random chars
