Highlights

  • Storage: One validated storage plan drives partitioning, mounts, and fstab; btrfs subvolume presets (flat / standard / extended); pre-mounted installs when /mnt is already set up.
  • LUKS: Safer, quieter crypto setup (stdin passphrases, redacted logs), initramfs hooks and kernel cmdline that match your mkinitcpio style (systemd/sd-encrypt vs classic encrypt), and fewer false failures when mkinitcpio exits non-zero on warnings only.
  • Firmware & mounts: systemd-boot is blocked on BIOS/legacy with a clear hint to use GRUB; ESP vfat mounting is more reliable (FAT support check, fallbacks, better recovery when the live ISO kernel and modules disagree).

New

  • Pre-mounted mode with cached mount/swap probes and clearer info in the disks flow.
  • Optional btrfs_subvolume_preset in saved config ([disks]); omitted configs behave like before (flat).
  • Release workflow assets: tagged builds publish the binary, SHA256SUMS, and install.sh for the documented curl-to-bash install path.

Improvements & fixes

  • LUKS: correct bootloader/kernel options when the root is on btrfs subvolumes; tighter mkinitcpio HOOKS= detection; non-interactive cryptsetup and stronger dm-crypt module loading.
  • Manual partitioning: clearer parted byte-range rules (length vs end), overlap / past-100% rejection; btrfs preset available in manual mode when root is btrfs.
  • BIOS GRUB in pre-mounted setups resolves the whole-disk target from mounts and disk selection.
  • Preflight can warn when the live environment’s kernel and module versions look mismatched (a common ESP mount footgun).

Breaking changes

  • None for normal TUI/config users. Internal APIs used only by tests or forks may need updates (e.g. bootloader planning now takes the storage plan).
