a quick rundown of recent changes:
* several aif bugfixes and improvements, mostly related to packages, filesystems, partitioning, font,keymap,editor selection, more robust checking if packages got installed properly, improved example configs for automatic profile, etc.
* aif usability enhancements: - several nicer menu's in various places - package selection shows package info when you hover over it (note there's a small bug that causes packages to be ordered incorrectly, fixed in git but not worth rebuilding for). if you want the new package: http://build.archlinux.org/repos/releng-any/aif-2010.04.18-1-any.pkg.tar.xz (built from git, btrfs branch)
* inclusion of nilfs and btrfs utilities, and support in aif. aif nilfs support should just work. aif has rudimental btrfs support, but untested. * a whole bunch of archiso changes by Gerardo (remove joe, new directory layout, squashfs support -although I don't know how this affects the images -, ..) * libui-sh bugfixes * dual images using split profile.
here is the roadmap for the next official release. https://bugs.archlinux.org/roadmap/proj6 it doesn't include stuff like gpt or wireless support, because i have my hands more then full already.
I would appreciate it if people can give this a testrun and report feedback. maybe even contribute patches.. everything should work nicely, except btrfs. and nilfs and btrfs utilities can't get installed to the target system. and initscripts needs a nilfs patch before that can work properly too.

After a short and fairly standard test with netinstall-dual in a virtualbox, trying to install x86_64 I was presented with a "OPERATING SYSTEM MISSING" message. Apparently grub hasn't been installed? I set up /boot (ext2) and / (ext4) as well as swap. I installed base and base-devel and left the rest of the configuration fairly untouched. I don't have time to investigate further. This was just a heads-up. -- Sven-Hendrik
