The kernel change logs are available here:
13 ISOs are now available in BASE (proposed in command line interface edition only without graphical interface), LXDE, XFCE4, CDE in 32 and 64 bits. LXQT, ENLIGHTENMENT, MATE, GNOME, KDE5 in 64 bits only.
They are available on the download page.
A new LTS 5.15.x kernel is available. The package name is: kernel-515
Installation progress is now calculated accurately. The installer has been rewritten.
With the stabilization of the UEFI installation mode, the links used in the kernel package are deprecated. This drastic change may render your machine unusable if it was more than 6 months ago in uefi mode during experimental times.
After 15 years, I finally decided to get rid of these links which seriously disturb the grub-mkconfig tool (among others).
A new command is available to enter an installed NuTyX. The chroot-nutyx command is now available.
The cards list --sets command displays the list of available packages sets.
The ability to use docker was a recurring request under NuTyX.
mybld is the central command for building packages under NuTyX. Many small bugs have been corrected, further simplified use and new features added. Read the manual :)
The themes under the different desktops are more consistent. Thank you Hakerdefo for the valuable advice.
A new discord channel is available
sudo cards upgrade
There will be a new toolchain with glibc 2.35.
Paradigm of cards will be adjusted to the new "git world"
as it is now the dominant source code repository method.
A new approach for the source code of our packages will be developed.
The runyx init system will be abandoned.
Maintaining 2 inits is already a lot of work.
The selection of an init system will be done at installation time
so that it won't be needed to change your grub anymore.
Only 2 init systems will be offered.
More information available on the telegram group.
