X.Org 7.4 has been moved to extra. After sitting in testing for quite some months, it's time to move this package. This version fixes quite some issues present in the old version we had in extra. This version contains some important changes: - Input hotplugging is enabled by default now. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging for more information. - nvidia-71xx is no longer supported and has been removed from the repositories. Affected users should install xf86-video-nv or xf86-video-vesa, complaints can be sent to nvidia for not providing compatible drivers.

We're back from our world domination planning. Our server is up and we will slowly be turning on services as we get them configured and ready for public consumption. If you notice something not working. please hold off for a day before reporting it as we may still be trying to get it up. Thanks for your patience!

Back in the paleozoic era, during the migration from PHP 4 to PHP 5, we switched to Squirrelmail's development branch out of necessity. Now many years later, this is no longer a problem. In keeping with Arch general best practices, we are switching to the stable 1.4.x series in [extra]. If you have input for us to consider in finalizing this decision, please let me know. If no new issues come to light, squirrelmail 1.4.16-1, now appearing in [testing], will be moved to [extra] in about a week. Paul

Most of you are probably aware of the <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/archlinux*">Arch Schwag Shop</a> for custom merchandise hosted by Zazzle. Many of you also know of my attempts to supplement this with other custom merchandise including case badges, USB keys, and jewellery. Now I would like to officially announce a new <a href="http://schwag.archlinux.ca/">storefront</a> for these Arch products making it easier for you to purchase these items and for Simo and I to process the orders. All profits go to supporting Arch Linux development. Thank you for your support!

Sorry about the unplanned downtime- we had an issue with the server this weekend and we couldn't address it until about an hour ago. Everything should be back up again and mirrors should resume syncing tonight. If you notice anything funny or worth noting now that the server is back up, please send an email to the arch-general mailing list. Developers may not see issues if you only post them on the forums.

As some of you may have noticed, the sun Java Runtime Environment and the Java Development Kit have spent too much time waiting in the extra repository waiting for some love. However, no developer was excited to maintain these packages. Since we already have the OPENJDK6 package, an open source implementation of the JRE and JDK, we have decided to move the JRE and JDK packages to community, where Geoffroy Carrier will be taking good care of them. He has already updated the packages and fixed their pending bugs. Thanks Geoffroy for your good deed. No package in the official Arch Linux repositories depends on these packages, as they have already been recompiled against OPENJDK6. However, I want to thank the community for its understanding, and we're sorry for any inconvenience. <b>Why move them, other than the reason given above?</b> Well, we wanted to favor the open source implementation against the closed source implementation. <b>No, really, why did you move them?</b> Because Aaron Griffin said so. :-D <em>(just joking)</em>
