NOTICE TO CURRENT ULTRAMARINE 36 USERS

Due to some major fundamental differences in the new DevOps infrastructure, upgrading to Ultramarine 37 is currently unsupported. We will release a script soon that will address this issue.

After suffering many hardships during the development of the project, We are happy to announce that we are finally releasing Ultramarine Linux 37!

This release has one of the biggest fundamental changes compared to our older release, including a major infrastructure change from Ultramarine 36.

After being acquired by Fyra Labs, we finally have the manpower to work on new things and keep track of new projects under the Fyra Labs name, so you can now expect even more frequent updates to Ultramarine as time goes on.

Changes

Fundamental

  • The CI/CD workflow has moved from Koji to GitHub Actions.
  • The repositories have now moved over to Fyra Labs' infrastructure with a different URL. This means that users running Ultramarine 36 will be unable to upgrade properly
  • Introducing Terra, a rolling repository for Fedora packages that can run on both Ultramarine and vanilla Fedora. (https://terra.fyralabs.com)
  • The packaging toolchain has moved from umpkg to Andaman, our new meta build system written in Rust.
  • Rebased system on Fedora 37.
  • Ultramarine will now serve as an experimental upstream to the upcoming tauOS, which will be testing code on top of Ultramarine before being packaged for tauOS. Ultramarine will stay as stable as it always was, but will serve as a base for tauOS. (Don't worry, we're not pulling a CentOS Stream)

General

  • New default wallpapers for light and dark mode by @Aikoyori
  • Website has now been rewritten using Astro @trobonox

Spins

KDE

  • Introducing a new KDE spin of Ultramarine Linux! Yes, Ultramarine now comes with KDE.
  • New custom layout inspired by Pop!_OS using Latte Dock. @korewaChino
  • Lightly is now the default Qt theme.

Budgie

  • Budgie Desktop now uses upstream Fedora packages.
  • Bundled some additional software.

Cutefish

  • Removed Cutefish Desktop

Pantheon

  • Fedora has now officially removed Pantheon support for now. We have now ported the entirety of Pantheon to Terra. @windowsboy111 @lleyton
  • Pantheon should now (hopefully) use the new default wallpaper for Ultramarine Linux @korewaChino

Live CD

  • Fixed some init issues causing Live CD startup to stall
  • Moved to livesys-scripts for live system setup

Errata

  • The live CD build scripts currently reinstall Anaconda twice due to some locale issues. @lleyton @korewaChino

Coincidentally, it's now the end of 2022. We have made this release just in time before 2023 starts.

Good luck and happy new year! We hope you enjoy our new release.
