This way, you can distinguish between a live iso and the first boot from the disk 😇

Automatic updates are also supported!
Another good feature is the portable installation with Anki running on a USB.
Copying the /.local/share/AnkiProgramFiles folder makes the installation portable !!
you can even select your preferred Qt version by modifying the pyproject.toml file:
[project]
name = “anki-launcher”
version = “0.1.0”
description = “UV-based launcher for Anki.”
requires-python = “>=3.9”
dependencies = [
“aqt[qt69,audio]==25.06b6”,
]

Background
Anki’s method for determining the last review time has two main issues:
- Performance: Querying the revlog is slow for batch operations.
- Accuracy: Estimations based on
dueandintervalfields can be incorrect, especially when modified manually or by add-ons.
Key Changes
- Schema Update:
- Added
last_review_time_secs(optionalint64) to the protobuf definition.
- Added
- Data Structures:
- Introduced
last_review_time: Option<TimestampSecs>to the RustCardstruct.
- Introduced
- Serialization:
- Integrated
last_review_timeinto read/write logic.
- Integrated
- Review Logic:
- Updated to store exact timestamp during card reviews.
- Calculation Logic:
- Functions now prioritize
last_review_timeover legacy methods.
- Functions now prioritize
Affected Components
- Card protobuf and Rust data structures
- Serialization/deserialization
- Browser table and scheduling logic
- Statistics
- Sync functionality
Benefits
- Improved Performance: Avoids costly revlog queries.
- Better Accuracy: Captures actual review timestamp.
- Backward Compatibility: Falls back to older methods if the new field is absent.
-
New
- Vertical Tabs: You can now keep more — or fewer — pinned tabs in view for quicker access to important windows. Just drag the divider to resize your pinned tabs section.
Custom Search Engines: Firefox now supports adding even more search engines. To add a custom engine, right-click a search field of a supported website and select “Add Search Engine”, or go to Settings > Search > Add (below the search shortcuts table) to manually enter a search URL.
Firefox Extensions: Customize your toolbar with the option to remove the extensions shortcut, giving you more control over your browser. When the button is hidden, you can access the extensions panel again at any time from the Firefox menu by clicking the Extensions menu item.
You can now unload tabs by right-clicking on a tab (or multiple selected tabs) and selecting “Unload Tab”. This can speed up performance by reducing Firefox’s memory and CPU usage.
Full-Page Translations now prioritizes translating only the content near your current view, improving speed and responsiveness. Content outside your view is skipped unless you scroll to it, reducing unnecessary resource usage.
Firefox builds in Arabic now come with a built-in Arabic dictionary for the Firefox spellchecker.
Address autofill enabled for users in Italy, Poland, and Austria.

CHANGES IN R 4.5.1
NEW FEATURES
- The internal method of
unzip()now followsunzip 6.00in how it handles extracted file paths which contain"../". With thanks to Ivan Krylov.
INSTALLATION
- Standalone
nmathcan be built with early-2025 versions ofclang-based compilers such as LLVMclang20, Appleclang17 and Intelicx2025.0. - Tcl/Tk 9 can be used to build package
tcltk: this has become the default in some Linux distributions. N.B. several third-party packages currently require Tcl/Tk 8 or even 8.6 without declaring so.
BUG FIXES
- Java detection in

All valid variants as of JDK 24u are now supported. factanal(.., rotation=*)now correctly updatesrotmat, fixing PR#18886.dnbinom(<large>, <muchlarger>, ..)now is0correctly, instead ofNaNorInfsometimes.dbinom(<large>, n=Inf, ..)is0now correctly, instead ofNaNwhich also fixes manydnbinom()cases, notably those mentioned in PR#16727 comment #5.- Fixing C level “binomial deviance”
