[manjaro-general] Update 2014-12-10 released

[Manjaro Linux | Manjaro Linux: philm]

[![system_software_update][1]][2]I'm happy to announce our first update after our release of Manjaro 0.8.11.

With this update we present to you a new package called **firefox-kde**. Our friends from BlueSystems started a new page for this new [Firefox version][3]. Currently we support Manjaro, Netrunner and Kubuntu with binary packages. Soon or later other distributions might adopt this work by BlueSystems and KDE e.V.

As we already working on our next version of Manjaro - 0.9.0 - we also pushed **Calamares 0.17.4** out in the wild. It is now mostly feature completed and can be stable used as our graphical installer. We are still fixing some quirks before we release our first release candidate. You can always install our latest [Manjaro Dev-Builds][4] to test this new installer on your own systems.

Also we updated some of our kernels (**3.12.34**, **3.13.11.12** and **3.16.7.2**). All of them ship **BFQ v7r5** and include needed fixes and enhancements.

With [Budgie Desktop v8][5] we have an even better alternative GTK3 desktop to choose from. 

On the driver side we updated **nvidia** and **nvidia-304xx** packages. For more details take a look [here][6] and [there][7].

Beside that, we ship regular Arch-Upstream updates (2014-11-07|11:44 CEST).

Please give us feedback and report any findings with this update.

kind regards  
Philip
