@kianryan @mntmn There were quite a few problems in the past days but these were not due to the reform-tools release and were either completely out of our hand (the gdm issue) or due to kernel 6.18 on a311d or due to u-boot on rk3588. There are some minor bugs in 1.83 (missing spaces and one wrong if) and I'll fix those in the next release because the issues are quite niche.

@josch @mntmn I honestly feel for you. I saw the post on the gnome/gdm issues and the cascade of people updating and thought "ow". I've not apt updated for a few days, and I'm using sway/lightdm anyway so tend to avoid those bumps.

Hopefully back to smooth sailing soon.
