Ten days ago we published an article in which there were several errors due to the numbering. mea culpa everything. At first, I thought that this mega update was going to coincide with what would later be the Manjaro 21.1 images, and no, right now they are releasing Release Candidates of that version. What's more, another error made me put, above it, "21.0", but I corrected what I could. And to avoid confusion, we will now differentiate between what they release for existing installs and new images. In that sense, today have thrown manjaro 2021-07-23.
Considering that only ten days have passed since the earlier version, little really flashy have been able to include. Yes, we KDE users have noticed that we have changed the SDDM for the official KDE, and personally and without more information about it I do know that some icon has changed, like the Yakuake one in the system tray.
