You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.
Currently we have official packages optimized for the i686 and x86-64 architectures. We complement our official package sets with a community-operated package repository that grows in size and quality each and every day.
Our strong community is diverse and helpful, and we pride ourselves on the range of skillsets and uses for Arch that stem from it. Please check out our forums and mailing lists to get your feet wet. Also glance through our wiki if you want to learn more about Arch.
ttf-dejavu 2.37 will change the way fontconfig configuration is installed. In previous versions the configuration was symlinked from post_install/post_upgrade, the new version will place the files inside the package like it is done in fontconfig now.
For more information about this change: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32312
To upgrade to ttf-dejavu 2.37 it's recommended to upgrade the package on its own:
pacman -S --force ttf-dejavu
TeXLive packages have been updated to the 2016 version.
The most notable change is that the biber utility is now provided as a separate package. You can install it normally using pacman.
Pacman hooks are now used in the TeXLive packages so the update will be less verbose than in past years.
Inspired by discussions on the arch-general mailing list, test-sec-flags was created by pid1 (with help from anthraxx, strcat, sangy, and rgacogne) to test the performance impact of various security-oriented compilation and linking flags. The goal is to determine if these flags can be the new default for all Arch Linux packages. Preliminary results suggest that the performance impact is almost nonexistent compare to the compilation flags we already use, but we would like to collect and compare more results before moving forwards.

As you upgrade to screen-4.4.0-1 you will be unable to reattach sessions started with earlier screen versions. Please make sure all your sessions are closed before upgrading.
The release of pacman-5.0 brought support for transactional hooks. These will allow us to (e.g.) run font cache updates a single time during an update rather than after each font package installation. This will both speed up the update process, but also reduce packaging burden for the Developers and Trusted Users.
In order for the use of hooks to be started, we require all users to have updated to at least pacman-5.0.1 before 2016-04-23. Pacman-5.0.1 was released on 2016-02-23, so this will have given everyone two months to update their system.
