Manjaro 0.8.4 again introduces a number of changes and improvements. In addition to introducing a brand new theme and look, enhanced software package optimisation has resulted in even more applications and features being packed into each flavour. This includes full multi-media support once again. Additionally, the Openbox and MATE flavours also provide access to the Arch User Repository (AUR) out of the box.

Manjaro 0.8.3 encompasses a number of significant changes from the previous release. All software packages have been optimised, the use of resources have been streamlined, and performance has consequently been boosted. As such, this release provides a faster, leaner, and more efficient system that requires even less memory to run. However, in order to reduce the sizes of the installation files, Libre-Office, and use of the Arch User Repository (AUR) must be installed and enabled manually.
