Highlight

This release brings a huge refactoring of the way Arch news are handled in order to display them in a more relevant and coherent way:

  • Arch news are now only displayed if a new one has been published since the last arch-update run. Arch news published since the last run or at the same date are tagged as [NEW].
  • A new AlwaysShowNews option for the arch-update.conf configuration file has been introduced to always display Arch news before updating, regardless of whether there's a new one since the last run or not (basically bringing back the previous behavior for those who prefer it). The NoNews option for the arch-update.conf configuration file has been deprecated and completely removed.
  • A new -n/--news option has been introduced to display recent Arch news at any time, independently of the main 'update' process. You can optionally specify the number of Arch news to display as an argument, like so: arch-update --news 10. Defaults to 5.
  • A new NewsNum=[Num] option for the arch-update.conf configuration file has been introduced to set the number of Arch news to display before updating and with the -n/--news option. Defaults to 5.
