ArchBang 2012.12 is out in the wild!!! If you are already running ArchBang smoothly on your system then you don’t need to install the new release. This 2012.12 release is a full systemd version with our latest set of minimal packages and Openbox for the competent Linux user.

A few changes for this release:

- Linux kernel 3.6.8

- GnomishDark Theme with Shakey-Stapler-Dark Widget

- updated openbox-menu

- dbus-launch removed

ArchBang still plans to have 4 major releases per year. Due to upgrades and improvements to the Arch Linux system, ArchBang will continue to release unofficial test .isos between official releases to address changes and prevent excessive workarounds in installing and updating newly installed systems. Please refer to the ArchBang Forums periodically for news on new testing .isos. Happy Holidays and all the best to everyone for a prosperous 2013!!

So what?
