ArchBang will now be released 4 times per year to provide users with more regularly updated versions. Due to upgrades and improvements to the Arch Linux system, ArchBang may release unofficial updates between official releases to prevent excessive workarounds in installing and updating newly installed systems.

Me & Prit will not be able to lead the project anymore because our situations are changing in real life (internship, getting a job, new passion, love, family & friends in need of us just to name a few). This is why ArchBang needs a new leader. Stan (aka ArchVortex) has been pretty involved w/ Paul (pablokal), Kev (MrGreen), Oliver & Kruppt. If it hadn’t been for you guys, ArchBang would’ve been discontinued but thanks God for this nice relief team. I believe you guys will do a great job & thank you for all the support you’ve provided to AB users so far. I want to say a special thanks to Prit (who has been with me since the beginning when we decided to have isos for both architectures). A special thanks to Mike for hosting this website. A special thanks to Dan for setting up the website. A special thanks to Conker1r for all his great wallpapers A special thanks to anonymous from the CB forums who helped me a lot in setting up Arch for the very first time. A special thanks to Philip Newborough (corenominal) for making a wonderful distro based on Ubuntu in the beginning (that motivated me to have the same distro but with rolling releases). A special thanks to Calimero (from ctkarch) who made his config files available to anyone willing to use them (was pretty handy for the installer). A special thanks to the Arch Linux dev team for their great work in providing a solid flexible distro to do whatever you want. To all AB users, thank you so much for your support/encouragement may God bless you guys!

This also means that the name format will not change to ArchBang-Season-YYYY :P . Our two release months will be June & December. Have fun with our previous release and keep on reporting problems & giving your feedback :D

  • You don’t need it if you already have AB running smoothly on your system
  • It’s basically 2011.10-RC2 w/ the following following changes:
    -Updated DOC
    -urxvt scrollbar color adjusted
    -Jumanji replaced by Firefox Nightly
    -icons in the applications menu
    -clarity icon theme instead of gnome
    -2 px top desktop margin so you can right-click on the desktop even when a window is maximized
    -You can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf while installing AB
  • Report bugs in the official bug thread
  • Leave feedback in the official feedback thread
  • You can see the list of packages here

  • You can always build Arch from scratch by following my guide to help you.

Note: Network Manager was updated today so you can remove it from ‘autostart’ once you update it since it will launch the applet automatically just by being in the array of daemons in /etc/rc.conf (else it will launch it twice lol)
