If you are upgrading from 1.7, the upgrade is too complex to script so please download the new image and flash it - sorry for any trouble!
Additionally, be aware that it is very likely that 1.7 will break after 2024-03-17 as one of the package sddm
won't be pinned anymore and it is likely to break the system, please upgrade before that date or don't run update-astroarch
- the dark them has no more striped bug or incomplete colouring
- fixed polkit rules and group permission, now reboot and shutdown won't emit any error
- x11vnc - this was breaking the UI theme and has been dumped, farewell!

- discovery - you can now use a graphical program to find, add or remove software
