The upgrade to OpenVPN 2.4.0 makes changes that are incompatible with
previous configurations. Take special care if you depend on VPN
connectivity for remote access! Administrative interaction is required:
- Configuration is expected in sub directories now. Move your files
from
/etc/openvpn/ to /etc/openvpn/server/ or /etc/openvpn/client/.
- The plugin lookup path changed, remove extra
plugins/ from relative
paths.
- The systemd unit
[email protected] was replaced with
[email protected] and [email protected]. Restart and
reenable accordingly.
This does not affect the functionality of networkmanager, connman
or qopenvpn.
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.

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.
