Add: If a VM has been detected then any involved VM services will be enabled in the new system
Add: A filesystem scan will take place after any filesystem formatting operation
If no encryption has been selected: The stage now takes place after packages validation, so if any validation issues arise or a different setup is desired there will always be alternatives offered.
Change: If a seperate Ext4 /Home partition is set to be re-used, then the 'Manual Mode' will skip the Ext4 partition formatting prompt.
Change: Code cleanup for efficiency (Functions {'revise' 'confirm_status' 'instl'} have been edited)
Remove: Code cleanup for efficiency (Function 'ask_homepart_form' has been removed)
Change: BTRFS > The subvolumes mounting options to be passed in the 'fstab' have been re-defined.
Change: A few prompts have been edited for aesthetic reasons.
If a previously-used unencrypted /Home partition is set to be used, the installer will offer only the 'Manual Partitioning Mode' for the involved drive.
Change: 'Encryption Setup': This stage has been overhauled and greatly simplified from the user's perspective.
The installer automatically detects if a /Home partition should be encrypted or re-used as unencrypted, according to previous user input.
If LUKS encryption has been selected, the installer will always switch to 'Auto Mode' to format & mount partitions, for user convenience.
If no encryption has been selected, the installer will offer both 'Auto Mode' and 'Manual Mode' to format & mount partitions.
Also, the installer no longer asks the user to label the encrypted partitions, as it's done automatically.
Change: A few prompts have been edited for better aesthetics.
Add: If 'Btrfs' is selected, the 'fstab' file will now be automatically edited to reflect the installer's Btrfs Subvolume Mount Options instead of the'genfstab' defaults
Change: Changed versioning
Change: Renamed some here-documents
Add: An 'IO-scheduler' optimization has been added to the 'General Optimizations' set, offered by the installer.
Add: The package 'usb_modeswitch' has been added.

Change: Some prompts have been edited for better aesthetics
Add: If Nvidia proprietary drivers are selected in a multi-gfx system includeing other vendors too,
Intel and/or AMD modules will also be added in the initramfs.
Change: 'Budgie' desktop > 'Nautilus' file browser has been replaced by 'Nemo'
Add: When 'GPT Manager' creates a new disk GPT, all future warnings concerning 'Data Loss' when dealing with involved disk will be silenced
Add: When 'GPT Manager' creates a new disk GPT, the 'Multiboot Status' stage will be skipped
Change: When the installer detects multiple 'efi,root,home,swap,xbootldr' partitions on selected installation drive, apart from accepting said partitions as valid installation destinations, the user can now use 'Smart Partitioning', 'Partitioning Presets' or 'Manual Partitioning' to manage said drive.
Change: A few prompts have been edited/added for better aesthetics.
Change: User input at the 'Multiboot Status' stage now defaults to lowercase.
Change: Minor code changes for simplification.
Now, when in 'Auto-Navigation', a few repetitive stages are omitted, to provide a more streamlined user experience.
