Thanks to the following improvements, combined with feedback/patches from users, ALEZ is starting to mature as an installer. I have been running an ALEZ install as my one and only OS at home for months now with no issues so I think ALEZ is ready for wider use and testing. There is no need for an updated install ISO, the 0.6 ISO works fine still - it will fetch and run the latest ALEZ installer.

New in ALEZ 0.7:

  • Choice of Stable or LTS kernels. If installation fails with the stable kernel (eg the ZFS stable kernel modules are out of sync with the Arch kernel) - try the LTS kernel
  • Thanks to John Ramsden for adding an ncurses interface to make the install process more fast and simple than it already was
  • POSIX ACL support enabled by default - required by journald
  • ZPOOL_VDEV_NAME_PATH now gets exported by default. It is needed when installing and configuring GRUB eg on kernel updates

John's zedenv grub plugin (which is still in alpha) is now installable via the AUR for managing GRUB ZFS boot environments.
