I'm happy to see the improvements in the mobile side of things ( phosh ). As per different reviews i heard , what it mainly need are perfomance improvements though.

We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21.

To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work.

This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade:

• If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk and this removes the JRE related packages.
• If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
• If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed.

At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.

Please create a comment or react with an emoji there.

(IMO, they should've limited comments,and gone with reaction count there, its looks mess right now )

Hey everyone,

Starting today, you will be able to see attachments displayed in the message list on Proton Mail for the web. This feature will come to mobile apps in the near future.

Attachment preview will help you find a document you need quickly and preview it in one click. You don’t need to open the email containing it to see the details of the document.

Please note that this is only available with the density set to “comfortable.” If you cannot see this improvement, you can check which interface density you’re using by clicking on the settings icon in your browser.

What is your opinion ?

Although i applaud their moral stance, this probably only helps to just stagnating one more business. Its not as if they were providing any defence clothes or equipments.

We're happy to announce that the search feature for Proton Calendar is now available in the latest version of the web app!

Now you can easily find the events you're looking for – whether you need to confirm an event’s location, get more details from its description, see participants, and more.

If you haven’t already, try it out here: https://calendar.proton.me

Search is made possible by creating a local index of your events and storing it on your device. When you search for an event, the app goes through the index of your downloaded events and highlights all matches. That way, no event content is made visible to Proton for the purpose of a search.

As always, thank you for your continuous support,

The Proton team

Today, we’re excited to announce that the new Proton VPN Linux app is now officially available for everyone.

With the new Linux application, you get a host of features:

• Protocols: OpenVPN-UDP and OpenVPN-TCP
• VPN Accelerator
• Moderate NAT
• NetShield Ad-blocker
• Kill switch
• Port forwarding
• Auto connect at app startup
• Pin servers to tray

Secure Core support will be added in the coming months as well. And though WireGuard is not yet supported, we’ve implemented OpenVPN DCO on our servers, which gives you identical results in terms of performance.

Find more information on how to install it in our KB article here.

For those of you wondering, in the coming months, we'll be working on a new Linux CLI based on your feedback.

What it does is that when you encounter an issue with your extensions, it disables half of them, and asks you whether that fixed your issue or not. If it did, it repeats the process, disabling only half of that half, and asks you again - and so on and so forth until you home in on one troublesome extension.

An excellent read. ( and a long one )
