Ionuț Mircea Bîru wrote: The new versions of libjpeg and libpng required a rebuild of all dependent packages. The libjpeg/libpng rebuilds are now complete and are moving from [testing] into the main repos. Due to the large number of rebuilds required, packages will take a while to propagate to the mirrors. It is advisable to check the state of your mirror before updating ([https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus][1] Remember to check your unofficial packages (AUR and third party repos) for required rebuilds.

Allan McRae wrote: Two prominent community members, Dusty and ralvez have been working hard to bring Arch Linux it's very own conference. ArchCon 2010 will take place in Toronto, Canada's largest city, on July 22 and 23. Registration is now open at [http://archcon.archlinux.ca/][1] and more information can be found on the ArchCon site at [http://archlinux.ca/archcon2010/][2] ArchCon will feature talks and tutorials from prominent community members and plenty of interactive discussions, development sprints, bug squashing sessions, and, of course, socializing. Earlybird registration ends on February 28th. Those who register early will be doing the organizers a huge favour by helping estimate the number of attendees, and to finance initial costs.
