I am happy to announce the availability of the new multilib repository. At this
time, it contains wine, skype and flashplugin. Furthermore, a multilib compiler
is available.
With the launch of the multilib repository all old 'lib32' packages are being
removed from community - the core/extra/community repositories will be "pure 64
bit" again.
If you want to use the new multilib packages (and most desktop or laptop users
probably do), add the following lines to your pacman.conf:
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

KDE SC 4.5.0 has moved into the [extra] repository. Notable changes with respect
to previous releases are:
* kdepim has seen no new release, please continue to use version 4.4.5
* due to incompatibility with ruby 1.9, ruby kdebindings are not provided
* webkit support in konqueror is provided by kwebkitpart
* KDM is now started as the kdm user
* upstream removed five translations: csb, mai, mk, si and tg
The full upstream changelog is available [here][1].
Several users reported issues with kwin hanging when changing settings in the
kdesettings dialog. So far this is only known to happen on some Intel and ATI
cards with opengl compositing enabled. Possible workarounds include:
* use xrender instead of opengl compositing
* disable compositing
* disable direct rendering under opengl options in the kdesettings menu

The latest version of perl 5.12.1 has been moved to core.
The perl package no longer implements versioned site_perl directories but the
5.10.1 directories remains for legacy packages for now. Anyone who custom builds
perl modules into site_perl should rebuild them to use the proper directories.
