The release of bslx-6.10.7-1-2024.08.30-x86_64 is now available for download. This update includes the debugging and addition of two older installer modules: hardwarecfg, responsible for sound initialization, and postcfg. The postcfg module streamlines the installation process by removing unnecessary initcpio modules, setting up autostart for kalu, eliminating virtualbox guest modules when not installing from a virtual machine, and configuring an installation-specific dock setup tailored for different user profiles (basic, desktop, deskpro, developer).
