During this release cycle my development box broke in a very unusual way. The computer itself seems to work fine, but it will no longer boot from usb. I, thinking the image was broken, started over. I am sure you know or have some idea of how much work was involved in that. Fortunately, I now have a working temporary development machine, so development can continue. During this release cycle the AUR experienced a DoS attack along with other Arch related service problems. This had a slight impact on development and slowed down things for a few days.
