[manjaro-general] [Stable Update] 2018-03-05 – Kernels, Browser, VirtualBox, QT5, Haskell, Python

[Manjaro Linux: Philip Müller]

[![system_software_update][1]][1]Hi community,

welcome to another **stable update** of Manjaro. We **worked** again **on our graphical stack**, updated **browsers**, renewed most of our **kernels** and added regular upstream updates.

Here is the list of changes in more details:

  * We upgraded most of our **Kernels**
  * We updated some of our **ISO-Profile settings**
  * We updated some of our **Browsers**
  * We added some needed fixes to **QT5**
  * We updated **VirtualBox** and **PHP**
  * We fixed some issues within **XFCE-Settings**
  * We upgraded **Java**
  * We updated our **User Guide** documentation
  * We updated our **Adapta** themes
  * We released the needed **[Mesa Hotfix v17.3.6][2]**
  * We added regular upstream updates like **Haskell** and **Python**

Our effort and all the needed information about the new security risk can be found [here][3].

Remember,** we only continue with our 64bit architecture from now on**. Please adopt to [another distribution][4], if needed on 32bit supported systems, as you may not get any updates on that architecture from us.

Please report back and give us feedback for given changes made to our repositories.

kind regards

Philip Müller
