Hi community,

Welcome to another stable update. Since this update is huge we recommend to install it from within a terminal: pamac upgrade or sudo pacman -Syu

So what do we have with this one?

The kernel is now at v4.19.0 and got some BFQ fixes
grub gained functionality to automatically hide the menu as needed and will replace grub-quiet
Pamac is now at v7.2.0  and supports PKGUILD editing
KDE Plasma is now at 5.14.2
A security update for xorg-server
More Gnome 3.30.2 packages got added
We updated most of Deepin packages
We added the second beta release of Firefox v64
The usual upstream updates incl. python and haskell

We hope with all these changes Manjaro to be more efficient for you all.
