2016-03-06 NEWDevelopment Release: Manjaro Linux 16.06 Pre 1
The developers of Manjaro Linux have released a development snapshot of the upcoming release of Manjaro Linux 16.06. The new test release, version 16.06-pre1, ships with cutting edge desktop software, including the Xfce 4.12 and KDE's Plasma 5.5 desktop environments. Linux kernel 4.4 LTS is included in this snapshot. "The Manjaro Settings Manager now provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for installing and removing the many series of kernels we offer. Manjaro’s selection of readily available kernels remains the most extensive of all Linux distributions we know of. At the time of this 16.06-pre1 release, twelve kernel-series are available directly from our binary repositories, ranging from the mature and rock-solid 3.10 series to the latest 4.5 release. Such a wide array of available kernel options results in extensive hardware support, getting the most out of your system for you, be it old or new. We also created a kcm module to integrate Manjaro Settings Manager seamlessly into System Settings of Plasma 5." Additional details can be found in the project's release announcement.

2023-12-16 Distribution Release: Manjaro Linux 23.1.0
The Manjaro Linux team has published a new snapshot of the project's rolling-release distribution. The new 23.1.0 release offers up to date desktop environments with the main editions offering GNOME 45, KDE Plasma 5.27, and Xfce 4.18. "One of the most noticeable changes in GNOME 45 is the new activities button. Located in the corner of the top bar, this button was previously labelled “Activities”. In GNOME 45, this static label has been replaced with a dynamic workspace indicator. The new button design is a response to user testing results over recent years, and we are confident that its purpose will be more obvious to new GNOME users. As part of this change, the old app menu (which showed the name of the currently focused app), was also retired. This retirement was another response to user testing results, and was required to make space for the new design. Search performance has been a major area of work for GNOME 45. These performance improvements have been made to a range of apps, including Software, Characters, Clocks, Files, and Calculator. Together, these changes result in faster search and reduced resource usage, which can be seen in both individual apps and in system search." Additional highlights are presented in the project's release announcement. Download (pkglist): manjaro-kde-23.1.0-231215-linux66.iso (3,723MB, SHA512, signature, torrent), manjaro-xfce-23.1.0-231215-linux66.iso (3,588MB, SHA512, signature, torrent), manjaro-gnome-23.1.0-231215-linux66.iso (3,935MB, SHA512, signature, torrent).
2023-09-05 Distribution Release: Manjaro Linux 23.0
Philip Müller has announced the release of Manjaro Linux 23.0, a significant update of the project's rolling-release distribution featuring GNOME, KDE Plasma and Xfce editions. The new version brings GNOME 44, KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS and Xfce 4.18, together with a cutting-edge Linux kernel, version 6.5: "Manjaro 23.0 'Uranos' released. The GNOME edition has received several updates to GNOME 44 series. This includes a lot of fixes and polish when GNOME 44 originally was released in March 2023. GNOME's file chooser dialogs have only ever had a list view, which is great when you want to pick a file based on its name, but isn’t so good when picking files based on their thumbnails. Over the years, GNOME users have therefore repeatedly requested that a grid view be added to the file chooser. This has been one of the most positively received changes in our history, so we are confident that people will like it added in this release cycle. The Plasma edition comes with the latest Plasma 5.27 LTS series and KDE Gear 23.08. It brings exciting new improvements to your desktop." Continue to the release announcement for further information.

We call it 'Talos'. The GNOME edition has received several updates to GNOME 43 series. It includes a lot of fixes and polish when GNOME 43 was originally released in September 2022. It comes with a redesigned system status menu, which allows quickly changing commonly-used settings. Settings which previously required digging into menus can now be changed with a click of button. The new design also makes it easy to see the status of your settings at a glance. Our in-house Layouts Switcher application has gained some new features as well as various improvements and fixes - now you can create your own dynamic wallpaper. With Gradience you can customize your theme from within the application. There are many presets available to choose from or you can create your own."

It comes with a redesigned system status menu, which allows quickly changing commonly used settings. Settings which previously required digging into menus can now be changed with the click of button.
