+title: "Calamares 3.3.9 released"
+excerpt_separator: <!--more-->
+---
+
+A release with minor bugfixes and improvements specifically in the Arabic translation.
+
+A reminder for distributions using Calamares with full disk encryption:
+if you are using the *luksbootkeyfile* module,
+it must be placed before the *fstab* module in settings.conf.  If it comes
+after, then the keyfile will be missing from crypttab and the user will be
+asked for their password multiple times.
