Abora OS v3.14 Release Notes

Abora OS v3.14 is now available.

This release continues Abora’s move toward a cleaner, flake-native system and focuses heavily on reliability, recovery, and safer updates. It includes fixes for MangoWM installs, updater behavior, rebuild issues, release validation, and fallback handling.

For more details on the larger Abora 3.x series, see the Abora OS v3.00 release notes.

What’s New

Abora OS v3.14 focuses on reliability, recovery, and cleaner flake-native behavior.

  • Fixed MangoWM rebuild failures caused by invalid flake-purity paths.
  • Fixed sudo abora update sometimes selecting an older release by mistake.
  • Improved updater safety so failed downloads do not overwrite a working flake.nix.
  • Added release validation to prevent incomplete builds from being installed or applied.
  • Added improved repair and fallback tooling for broken installs.
  • Cleaned up generated Abora install files for better flake support.
  • Improved reliability for sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#abora.

MangoWM Fixes00

MangoWM installs previously had a config path issue where generated files could reference Mango config assets through bad repo-relative fallback paths. In some cases, this caused rebuilds to fail with flake-purity errors.

Abora OS v3.14 fixes this by using installed-safe MangoWM config paths and making /etc/nixos/abora/mango/config.conf the source of truth for installed systems.

Updater Improvements

The Abora updater is now safer and more strict about release files.

If an update download is incomplete or missing required files, Abora will now reject it before applying changes. This helps prevent broken updates from overwriting important files like flake.nix.

The updater also now does a better job selecting the correct release instead of accidentally falling back to an older version.

Repair and Fallback

This release includes improved repair and fallback handling for broken or partially updated installs.

For MangoWM-related repair, use:

sudo abora repair --mango

If you encounter a serious issue after updating, you can fall back to an older release with:

sudo abora fallback --release v3.00

Then rebuild or reboot if prompted.

Keep in Mind

Some issues may still exist, especially if you are updating from an older demo or pre-release install.

Please report any issues you run into so they can be fixed quickly. Testing and bug reports help make Abora OS more stable for everyone.
